Marketing & Patient Acquisition For Cash-pay Medical PracticesTurn Your Marketing Into a Predictable Patient Acquisition System.
The Problem
Why Your Practice Isn't Getting Enough Qualified Patient Inquiries
Maybe you’re getting traffic but few bookings. Maybe referrals are slowing down. Or perhaps you’re spending on marketing without knowing what’s actually working.
The problem isn’t always a lack of marketing. It’s often the gaps between how patients find your practice, evaluate your services, and take the next step.
Without a connected strategy, even good marketing can underperform.
The Solution
Turn Disconnected Marketing Into a Patient Acquisition System
Instead of adding more marketing tactics, we focus on improving the systems that matter: visibility, messaging, website conversion, and the patient inquiry process.

A Smarter Approach to Practice Growth
Why Your Practice Needs a Connected Growth Strategy
For cash-pay medical practices, sustainable growth requires more than individual marketing tactics. Your website, search visibility, advertising, patient inquiries, and follow-up process need to work together.
Matt brings the strategic leadership of a Fractional CMO to help you identify what’s limiting patient acquisition, prioritize the right improvements, and build a measurable growth system without hiring a full-time marketing executive.
Our Approach
How We Turn Marketing Gaps Into Practice Growth
Growing a cash-pay medical practice starts with understanding what’s working, what’s not, and where potential patients are getting lost.
Instead of jumping straight into SEO or advertising, we follow a structured process to identify opportunities, prioritize improvements, and build a measurable patient acquisition system.
Step 01: Free Growth Diagnostic
Identify the gaps in your marketing, website, patient inquiry process, and growth strategy.
Step 02: 30-Day Growth Roadmap
Develop a prioritized action plan based on your practice’s goals, opportunities, and available resources.
Step 03: Patient Acquisition System
Implement the highest-impact improvements across search visibility, messaging, website conversion, tracking, and patient inquiry workflows.
Step 04: Measure & Optimize
Review performance, identify bottlenecks, and refine the system based on actual results.
Strategic Growth Leadership
Do You Need a Full-Time CMO to Grow Your Practice?
Most cash-pay medical practices don’t need another full-time executive to improve patient acquisition. They need a clear strategy, experienced leadership, and someone who can connect marketing activities to measurable business outcomes.
As a Fractional CMO, Matt helps practice owners identify growth opportunities, prioritize investments, and coordinate marketing execution without the commitment of a full-time marketing hire.
The goal isn’t more marketing activity. It’s a smarter system for attracting qualified patients and supporting sustainable practice growth.

Strategy Before Tactics
Why work with matt
Healthcare Experience. Marketing Strategy. Measurable Growth.
Growing a cash-pay medical practice requires more than marketing expertise. It requires understanding how patients make decisions, how practices operate, and where growth opportunities are being missed.
With a background in healthcare and marketing leadership, Matt brings a practical, strategy-first approach to helping practice owners improve patient acquisition without wasting resources on disconnected tactics.
Healthcare Industry Understanding
Matt’s clinical healthcare background brings a valuable perspective to patient expectations, practice operations, and the challenges of communicating healthcare services.

Meet Matt Solarczyk
Healthcare Experience Meets Strategic Marketing Leadership
Before working in marketing leadership, I worked as a critical care nurse. That experience gave me a firsthand understanding of patient care, healthcare operations, and the importance of trust in healthcare decisions.
Today, I bring that perspective to helping established cash-pay medical practices identify growth barriers, improve their marketing strategy, and build more connected patient acquisition systems.
My approach starts with understanding your practice, not selling you a list of marketing services. Together, we identify what needs attention, prioritize the opportunities, and develop a practical path toward measurable growth.
How I Work
From Growth Strategy to Measurable Execution
A good marketing strategy only matters when it leads to meaningful improvements.
I work with cash-pay medical practices to turn growth priorities into coordinated action. From improving search visibility to fixing website conversion gaps and patient inquiry workflows, every improvement has a purpose.
Here’s how I approach the work:
Focus on What Matters Most
Identify the highest-priority opportunities based on your practice’s goals, current performance, and available resources.
Connect Strategy With Execution
Coordinate SEO, paid advertising, website improvements, messaging, and inquiry workflows so each activity supports the broader growth strategy.
Build With Accountability
Establish clear responsibilities, implementation priorities, and meaningful performance indicators to keep work focused and measurable.
Improve Based on Real Results
Review performance, identify what’s working, and refine the strategy as your practice grows.

Frequently Asked Questions
Questions About Growing Your Cash-Pay Medical Practice?
Get clarity on how I help established medical practices identify patient acquisition challenges and build more effective marketing systems.
What types of medical practices do you work with?
My approach is particularly suited to practices that want to improve patient acquisition, strengthen their marketing strategy, and build more measurable growth systems.
How can you help my practice attract more qualified patients?
I start by examining how prospective patients discover your practice, evaluate your services, and contact your team.
Depending on what we find, improvements may include SEO, Google Ads, website messaging, conversion optimization, and patient inquiry workflows. The goal is to connect these activities rather than treat them as separate marketing projects.
What is included in the Free Growth Diagnostic?
The Free Growth Diagnostic is an initial conversation to understand your practice’s goals, current marketing activities, and patient acquisition challenges.
We’ll discuss potential gaps, opportunities, and whether a more detailed Growth Roadmap would be a useful next step.
Do I need to hire you as a Fractional CMO?
No. Not every practice needs ongoing marketing leadership.
Depending on your needs, we can begin with a Growth Diagnostic, develop a focused Growth Roadmap, or discuss implementation support for specific patient acquisition challenges.
How long does it take to see results?
That depends on your starting point, competition, marketing channels, and the improvements required.
Some website and advertising changes can be measured relatively quickly, while SEO and broader patient acquisition improvements typically require more time.
I focus on setting realistic expectations, tracking meaningful performance indicators, and improving the strategy based on results rather than promising a specific number of patients.
Do you work with practices outside Chicago?
Yes. Although I’m based in the Chicago area, I work with medical practices across the United States.
Our work can be coordinated remotely through strategy sessions, implementation planning, and ongoing performance reviews.
Can you work with our existing website and marketing team?
Yes. We can evaluate your existing website, marketing activities, and internal resources before recommending changes.
The goal is to improve what’s already working, address gaps, and coordinate the people and systems involved in your practice’s growth.
How much does medical practice marketing cost?
The investment depends on your practice’s needs, existing resources, and the scope of work.
A focused Growth Roadmap is different from implementing a complete Patient Acquisition System or providing ongoing marketing leadership.
The Free Growth Diagnostic is the starting point for understanding which approach makes sense for your practice.
