So much education and support crammed into 5 days! I feel much more confident about how to market my business now and really appreciate every bit of the support and knowledge that Max and his team have shared.

Honest Review. Credit Card Dispute Won
Pre-Enrollment Concerns
The better business Bureau says Clinical Marketer maybe out of business because of 1 or 2 reasons
(1) the phone numbers on file are disconnected; the website is down or mail sent to their address returned as undeliverable. We know their phones work, the web site is running, and their address is good.
(2) Hence, the most likely explanation is that the Bureau attempted to contact them regarding a complaint or data and received zero response over a prolonged period.
Course content is not available without a financial commitment.
There is no syllabus, course objectives, expected timeline for course completion, etc. They cannot offer a marketing program on an accredited educational institution for lack of transparency. They cannot offer CEUs.
I was promised that a 3-hour weekly investment would yield a $20K profit increase in 3 or 4 months. However, I had to add 10 to 16 hours of work to my busy schedule to try to keep up with their program and at the end the program was not worth it.
They offer a misleading refund guarantee.
The 30-day refund is unrealistic:
1. You must spend $1k on ads before they teach how to post Facebook ads,
2. You are required to attend weekly meetings with your accountability coach, but the coaches can only meet with you bi-weekly
3. You are expected to complete a lead tracking form daily for 30 days to monitor how potential lead clients may convert to patients, before you can even learn to make Facebook ads to generate leads
Promised 90-day $20k Profit Guarantee
They charge $6k–$8k for a 90-day marketing program and promise you’ll earn most of it back quickly, but if you don’t, there’s no refund.
The required $1k in Facebook ads isn’t included, so you’re investing at least $10k in 3 months.
After 90 days, they may add a $200 monthly fee for the website they teach you to use. It may take months and more ad spending to reach the promised $20k.
You may run the same ads on your own using Facebook’s free training, but they encourage dependence on their platform so they can keep collecting the $200 monthly fee.
Questionable Health Care Ethics
Principle 2 (Patient’s Best Interest) & 4 (Integrity in Relationships)
Participants are taught not to tell patients about the upfront cost of their services and to avoid discussing health insurance coverage until the patient comes for an evaluation. The patient should not have to drive to find out if he can afford a visit or his insurance is accepted.
Participants are told to say they’ll provide a superbill to their patients that may allow reimbursement for cash pay services, regardless of whether the patient has out-of-network benefits or have already met their out-of-network deductible.
Therapists have an oath not to place their financial interest before the patient's well-being.
Principle 4 (Integrity in Relationships)
In my one-on-one meetings with my accountability coach, I was encouraged to market myself as the top clinician in my area. I was told to call myself a shoulder expert in shoulder ads and a lumbar expert in sciatica ads, despite certification, residence or fellowship training, she did not care whether I was an expert or not. Teaching someone to portray himself as expert without formal credentials raised ethical concerns — I do not believe a general physician would typically call him/herself a shoulder expert without the orthopedic training. The APTA has credentialing for experts.
Law Awareness for Cash Pay, Self-Pay, or Uninsured
The Federal "No Surprises Act"
If the patient schedules his or her appointment at least 3 business days ahead of time, the clinician must send the patient a written Good Faith Estimate for the evaluation and possible treatments.
Violation of Health Insurance Contracts
When a clinician is in-network with a health insurance and treating patients with benefits, this clinician cannot charge cash for covered services. Insurers prohibit this unless services are not medically necessary.
Final Thoughts
The Cash Pay program may be helpful for someone launching a new cash-pay clinic and who has 10–20 free hours each week to dedicate to it. However, enrolling me despite knowing I already operated a busy insurance-based clinic felt unethical.
The program is also very expensive, and comparable Facebook marketing skills can be learned directly from Meta Marketing Pros at a far lower cost. Their “experts” are not providing anything superior to what Meta already offers for free or at low cost.
Their refund criteria is designed so someone cannot fulfill it. Additionally, none of the 11 course modules address the ethical or legal issues involved in cash-pay practice - topics that are essential - since misunderstanding these laws can expose a clinician to lawsuits or even professional discipline.

I loved it!
Wow, with zero marketing background- the 5 day challenge was amazing! I'm new in my practice and was hesitant to put money into ads, not understanding how they work. Max and his team made me feel confident and helped me know exactly how the leads work and even assisted in conversion with discovery call scripts. I really am so glad I did this and can't imagine how much it will help me grow my practice!

The education they provide is…
The education they provide is incredible. These are sincere healthcare professionals who have walked the walk and are now teaching others to have success with ads. My team and I have learned how to create ads, as well as systems to turn these cold leads into clients. As with all things that are worthwhile it’s never easy but the entire Clinical Marketer team has been amazing to work with and very generous with their time and talents. I highly recommend them for your lead strategy.

High Quality Lead Generation
Although we have always had pretty solid systems in place for sales, implementation, and deliverability, we have always struggled with consistent lead generation. This is the second time we’ve worked with the team at Clinical Marketer, and our experience has been 10/10. High quality leads produced, all we have to do is show up, close them, and deliver a great service!

Clinical Marketer is the way to go if you want to start a cash practice. I wish I had done it from the start
Joining Clinical Marketer was one of the best business decisions I’ve made for my cash-based physical therapy clinic. Within a short time, I doubled my revenue. That wasn’t luck—it was the result of a clean, proven system that Clinical Marketer has dialed in.
Their plug-and-play setup made it incredibly easy to implement. From text and email automation to a fully built-out CRM, phone, everything was ready to go. I actually already created my whole system start to finish, and decided to completely restart my whole funnel with their system because of how much better it was.
The one-on-one coaching, group calls, and sales support are top-tier. They’re using AI tools and staying ahead of the curve, which is rare in this space. Every time I needed help or had a question, there was someone to guide me through it—real feedback, not generic advice.
Before this, I tried Jarod Carter’s course. I respect what he’s done, but it honestly doesn’t compare to what Clinical Marketer delivers. This is on another level in terms of structure, strategy, and results.
If you’re a PT sitting on the fence about starting your own cash practice—and you know you’re a solid clinician—this is your sign. Take the leap. The $10k/month in 90 days guarantee isn’t a gimmick; it’s a target that’s totally achievable with the right tools and mentorship.
Highly recommend. No hesitation. Just do it.

Best choice I have made besides marrying my wife
Starting my own physical therapy business felt overwhelming—until I found Clinical Marketer. They were the company that walked me through every step, making the entire process clear, structured, and achievable. Without them, I wouldn’t have been able to do it.
What sets them apart is that they truly care about your success. These are great people who want the best for you, and they go beyond just giving advice—they walk with you, step by step, ensuring you have everything you need to build a thriving practice.
Looking back, working with Clinical Marketer was the best financial decision I have ever made. After 10 years in the outpatient clinic, I was completely burnt out. This decision has been life-changing for me and my family, and my only regret is that I didn’t do it five years ago.
If you’re on the fence about starting your own PT business—don’t wait. Just jump in. Clinical Marketer will make sure you succeed, and you’ll never look back!
