Your patients should hear from you more than once a year
Developed by a podiatrist. Designed for medical practices.
Most patients hear from their doctor only when it’s time for an appointment. ApptSurge keeps your practice in touch with useful weekly patient education emails, written for your specialty and branded to your office. We handle the work.
The relationship shouldn’t end when the visit does
You spend years earning your patients’ trust. Then months go by without a word from your office. That isn’t because you don’t care. Nobody has time to write a newsletter between patients.
A regular email changes that. Patients learn something useful about their health, they’re reminded that your practice is there for them, and when a problem comes up, they know who to call.
Done for you, every month
ApptSurge writes four patient education emails a month, adds your practice’s branding, and sends them on schedule. Your office doesn’t write newsletters or run email software.
We write the emails
Four patient education emails every month, written in plain language on topics your patients will find useful.
Your patients hear from you
A new email arrives each week, keeping your practice in touch with patients between visits.
Your practice, your branding
Every email includes your logo, contact information, and a link to your website. Patient replies go directly to your office.
Help keep your schedule full
Regular emails keep your practice in patients’ minds, so when they need care, they’re more likely to think of you first.
Patient email marketing for your specialty
ApptSurge was developed by a podiatrist, and podiatry is where our content began. We can also prepare patient education emails for other medical specialties, tailored to the conditions and treatments your patients ask about.

Developed by a podiatrist
ApptSurge was developed by David Schlam, DPM, who practiced podiatry and foot surgery for nearly 40 years.
“In podiatry, patient relationships often last for years: chronic conditions, diabetic foot care, follow-up after surgery. Over that time I saw how easily patients lose touch with a practice between visits, and how little time anyone in the office has to do something about it. That’s true in every specialty. I built ApptSurge so any practice can stay in touch with its patients, with very little additional work for the office.”
— David Schlam, DPM, Founder of ApptSurge
ApptSurge is already in use at medical practices, sending patient education emails every week.
