From Referrals to a Global Destination: How a Cancun Urologist Became the Top Choice for Surgery

The Challenge

A highly skilled urologist in Cancun, Mexico, was seeing most of his patients through cruise ship emergencies or last-minute local referrals. While his surgical results and reputation were strong, he lacked the digital presence needed to attract higher-quality, surgery-focused patients. With no modern website and no visibility in search, his growth was stalled — and his brand was invisible to the very patients who were searching for care.

Key challenges:

• Outdated (or nonexistent) online presence
  
  
• Limited to cruise ship patients and urgent-care referrals
  
  
• No visibility among local or international patients seeking urologic surgery
  
  
• Brand didn’t reflect the doctor’s expertise or trustworthiness

What we implemented:

• New Website & Brand Identity
