Hey there, welcome back to The Smarter Practice! So let me just start with this—have you ever hit the end of your workday and realized you still haven’t posted anything on your clinic’s socials… for like, three weeks? Or maybe you're thinking, “Wait, did anyone ever respond to that patient who messaged us on Instagram last Tuesday?”

Yeah. You’re not alone.

Running a healthcare practice is already intense, and when you throw digital marketing into the mix—socials, emails, SEO, all that stuff—it’s like adding a second job you never applied for.

So today, I wanna talk about something that could, honestly, be a game-changer: a digital marketing virtual assistant. Or DMVA, for short.

Now, I know “virtual assistant” might make you think of someone just answering phones or handling calendars. But a DMVA? Totally different vibe. This person’s whole focus is on your digital presence—making sure your practice shows up online, looks professional, and actually connects with people.

They do things like plan and post on your social media, set up email campaigns, keep your Google Business profile updated, write blog content, even track metrics so you know what’s working and what’s… well, not.

And look, I get it—you probably didn’t go into medicine thinking, “I hope I get to spend my weekends writing SEO blog posts.” Like, no thank you. That’s where a DMVA steps in.

Let me give you a real example. A family doctor I know was struggling to fill her afternoon appointments. Her DMVA created a quick campaign targeting her local zip code, boosted a Facebook post, and updated her Google listing. Within two weeks, her schedule was fully booked. Like—no new staff, no huge ad budget. Just smart marketing.

And here's the kicker—she didn’t touch a single dashboard or platform. Her DMVA did it all.

It’s not about adding more to your plate. It’s about taking the right stuff off your plate.

And the best part? These digital marketing virtual assistants from DocVA actually understand healthcare. They know how to write content that’s HIPAA-friendly, how to talk to patients without overstepping boundaries, and they know what patients are really looking for when they search for a new provider.

So, if you’re tired of guessing what to post next or you’re just too swamped to worry about your online presence, it might be time to call in backup.

Check out DocVA.com and find a digital marketing virtual assistant who can help your practice grow without you burning out.

Alright, that’s it for today. Thanks for hanging out with me—go take a breath, and maybe let someone else handle the hashtags for once. Catch you next time!
