What NorthCore does for a practice in Atlanta
For an Atlanta practice the numbers come first and the referral phones second. NorthCore reads revenue and margin by provider and by treatment out of the software you already run, and asks the front desk where last month's new patients came from. The ninety-day strategy is built from both, and then the system that executes it. A referral text is answered in the practice's voice within the minute and booked into your own calendar. An event form captures consent and books the consult before the guest leaves the table, the comeback is timed per patient from the record, and a report arrives every evening. The system runs on the software you already have, Aesthetic Record, Vagaro, GoHighLevel or Boulevard among them, so nothing is replaced and no data moves. For a conference table, an open house or the first walkthrough, in-person time can be scoped into the agreement. The rest is weekly tuning, one page any morning, and a scope written down before the start. NorthCore Labs is based in St. Petersburg, Florida.
What a practice in Atlanta is up against
Atlanta runs on the Perimeter. Inside it, Buckhead and Midtown practices compete with each other on reviews and on the provider's name. Outside it, Alpharetta, Sandy Springs, Marietta and Decatur are each their own map and their own patient. The drive from one to the other at 5:30 pm is reason enough for a patient to pick the practice nearest home over the one a friend recommended. Your own booking addresses will show how far yours come. That is the first mechanism: the metro is a ring of separate markets, and a practice's competition is the two or three nearest it, not the city. The second is referral. Ask your front desk where last month's new patients came from. In this metro it is often a friend, a stylist or a coworker, with a name in mind. Answer that first text in minutes and the referral is yours. Answer it tomorrow and the friend's recommendation has gone to whoever answered first. The third is the training pipeline. The academies in Duluth and Atlanta run injector courses monthly, and some graduates open a few miles from you with a fresh profile and no patient history. Your patient history is the asset they cannot buy, and it earns nothing until someone times the comeback for each patient in it.
All ten solutions, built the same way for Atlanta
All ten, from Answer every patient to Get found first, are built the same way for an Atlanta practice: on your software, for your side of the Perimeter, scoped in writing. The list, with what each one does and the guides behind it, is at all ten solutions.
Events in Atlanta worth a seat or a table
Cities matched in the Event Desk data: Atlanta, Alpharetta, Duluth and Dacula. The three below are the ones an owner or manager would get the most from. Names and organizers only, because dates move and the organizer's page is the only place to trust one. The Event Desk adds events monthly.
| Event | Organizer | Kind | Recurs |
|---|---|---|---|
| DMA Annual Conference and DermAesthetic Summit, Alpharetta | Dermatology Managers Association | Conference for practice managers | Annual |
| Candela Workshop: Redefining Results, Atlanta | Candela Medical | Device workshop | Touring series |
| IV Nutrition Therapies Level I and II, Atlanta | Empire Medical Training | Training course | Touring series |
State rules differ, and they change
Who may inject, who supervises, how prices may be advertised and what texting consent requires vary by state. Confirm each one with counsel and your state board before any script, page or message goes live.
How to start this week
- There are six calculators at /tools/: treatment margin, membership margin, tox party P&L, missed calls, no-shows and lapsed patients. Start with missed calls and membership margin, with your own numbers: thirty minutes with the call log and one export from the record system.
- Read How much should a med spa spend on marketing and Event lead capture for a med spa, and do the Monday block in each. The second one is the kit for your next table in the suburbs, with counsel's eyes on the giveaway rules.
- Book a call at /book/: thirty minutes, on your practice, with the calculator results and last month's referral count from the front desk in front of both of us.
What to do next
NorthCore's Run the whole practice solution builds all ten for an Atlanta practice on its own software, referral phones, event kit and comeback first, with a report every evening. Scoped in writing and covered by the promise on this site: results in 90 days, or we keep working until you have them.
