What your patient does on one tap

Six things your patient can do at the appointment, so your team does not have to.

The magenta sticker at your front desk is a modern QR code, no scanning. When a patient taps it, this is what happens, without you hiring more staff, training anyone, or buying a new booking system.

1

Turn a good visit into the next patient

One tap asks the patient if they would point someone here. A yes becomes a Google review, in their words, where the next person searching for care will find it. The reputation that gets you found, built one good visit at a time.

2

Hear the rough ones first, privately

If the visit fell short, the patient tells you directly, straight to the practice, not the internet, so you can make it right. They can still leave a public review. You just get the chance to fix it before it shows up there.

3

Your services, in their language

The patient sees your live service list auto-translated to their browser language. Twelve languages tuned for your patient mix, including Spanish, Portuguese, French, German, Korean, Arabic.

4

Book the next appointment

The patient books their follow-up before they leave, routed to your calendar with no front-desk intermediary. The visit that would have ended in a "we'll call you" becomes a booked return.

5

Pay from their phone

Apple Pay, Google Pay, or card. The patient settles their balance on the same screen and walks out without waiting on paperwork or a front-desk line.

6

Join a program

Wellness plan, membership, or care package, whichever recurring program you set. The patient enrolls in one tap and you bank predictable monthly revenue from patients who would have stayed one-time.

One sticker, no QR to scan. No app for your patient to download. No card swipe. No front-desk staffer needed to take a booking or run a payment.

Everything a practice needs. One app. No agency, no team, no ad spend.

Slad replaces the whole stack an independent practice normally pieces together: a Google listings manager, an ambient visit scribe, an AI receptionist that answers the calls you miss, a booking and payments tool, a reputation tool, and local market intel, starting at $199 a month.

Get Found on Google and AI Search

Show up first on Google, and surface when patients ask ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, and Perplexity where to find care. Slad keeps your Google profile fresh with posts and review replies, turns your Instagram into Google posts, and features your practice on its care channel and practice guide, so you get found without doing the work.

Service Videos, Everywhere

Turn one service photo or clip into a polished video with the motion and warmth a flat photo can't show, then post it to Google, Instagram, Facebook, TikTok, and YouTube in one tap.

Book + Pay at the Appointment

Patients tap the Slad sticker, a modern QR code with no scanning, see your live service list, send bookings straight to the practice, pay from their phone, and join memberships like a care club. No app to download, no extra staff steps.

Reputation Shield

Recover unhappy patients before they go public. Slad routes low ratings privately to management and drafts your review replies, so 1-star damage gets caught at the appointment, not on Google.

See Your Local Market

See the practices opening and closing near you, the policy windows before they hit, and the complaints that keep coming up across your competitors, so you can win on them.

Ambient Visit Scribe

The visit is transcribed and the note drafts itself while you stay with the patient. You review and approve. Nothing sends on its own, and the audio is not stored.

Your AI Practice Assistant

A built-in AI assistant that already knows your practice (service list, reviews, booking system, channels) and your local market (openings, closures, cost moves, policy, competitors). Ask it real questions and get specific, numbers-tied answers, not generic advice.

Live with your front desk and your patients in 3 simple steps

Set it up in one sitting, then run it in a few minutes a day from your phone. You approve; Slad makes the videos, posts to every channel, replies to reviews, runs the front desk, and watches your local market.

Under an hour

to set up, and you go live the same day.

Minutes a day

to run it. You tap approve; Slad does the work.

No retraining

Patients self-serve at the appointment. Staff just point at the sticker.

  1. 1

    Go live the same day

    Place your Slad stickers, connect Google and your social channels, link your booking system, and upload your service list. Setup takes minutes, your front desk and your feed go live the same day.

    Phase: Setup

    Appointments, Google, channels, and reputation flow live in one sitting.

  2. 2

    Run your front desk and your feed

    Patients tap a sticker, a modern QR code with no scanning, to book, pay, and join memberships right from the appointment, sent straight to your practice. Meanwhile Slad keeps your Google profile fresh, turns your services into videos that post to Google, Instagram, Facebook, TikTok, and YouTube, and gets your practice featured so new patients find you in Google and AI search, all on your approval.

    Phase: Run

    Appointments get booked. Services become posts. You tap approve.

  3. 3

    Protect your name, win your market

    Unhappy patients route into a private manager feedback loop before they go public; happy ones become verified reviews and content. The same dashboard shows the openings, cost moves, and policy shifts in your local market.

    Phase: Results

    More content. Less public fallout. Real signal on your local market.

Frequently asked questions

The questions practice owners ask before they sign up.

Pricing
What's the price, and what's the catch?

One plan, $199 a month, everything included. You get your Google and AI search presence, service videos that post to every channel, appointment booking, payments, and memberships at the appointment, Reputation Shield, local market intel, the AI practice assistant, and Slad stickers included. All on your Slad page, all continuously updated. 7 days free, no contract.

ROI
What return can I expect?

Fair question: Slad starts at $199 a month, and the return comes from filling appointments and keeping regulars. Higher tickets when patients book from the appointment, recurring memberships, new patients who find you on Google and in AI search, and reputation recovery that protects your rating. Put your own patients per day and average spend into the revenue calculator to see your estimated extra revenue, payback period, and return against what you pay. Every number it uses is grounded in published research.

Features
What exactly does Slad do?

A lot, all in one app: your Google presence on autopilot, AI service videos that post to every channel, book and pay at the appointment, memberships and clubs, Reputation Shield, local market intel, influencer vetting, plus an in-app AI practice assistant that already knows your practice and your local market, and a patient-facing page with rewards. For the complete, itemized breakdown of everything Slad does for you and for your patients, see the full feature list.

AI assistant
What can the in-app AI practice assistant actually help me with?

Quite a lot, because it already knows your practice and your local market. It reads your service list, your reviews, your booking data, your connected channels, and your Slad settings, and it sees the live signals in your local market (openings, closures, cost moves, policy windows, competitor moves). So when you ask things like "what is my best service mix for the busy season," "should I run a care club this winter," or "draft a reply to this 1-star review," you get specific, numbers-tied answers grounded in your actual numbers and what is moving near you, not generic advice. It also walks you through how to do anything in the app, from connecting your booking system to scheduling a Google post. Per-practice chat thread, isolated to your account.

Front desk
What happens to the calls my front desk misses?

Slad gives you a dedicated business number with an AI receptionist that picks up the calls your front desk misses, schedule-aware, so it only steps in when no one can answer. It books and reschedules appointments, answers your hours and insurance questions, takes a message, or transfers to a person when someone needs one. It never gives medical advice. A missed call stops being a lost patient.

Documentation
Can Slad write up my visit notes for me?

Yes. The ambient scribe records the visit, transcribes it, and drafts the SOAP note for you to review and approve before anything is saved. You stay present with the patient instead of typing, and you approve every note before it lands. Audio is not stored.

Reputation
What if a patient has a bad experience?

Before a patient is guided toward sharing, they rate their visit. If they select a low rating, Slad routes that feedback privately to management instead of pushing them toward a public post. Your team gets the chance to recover the moment while the patient is still on site, before frustration becomes a Google or Yelp review. We do not block public reviews. We give you a chance to fix the issue first.

Content
How does Slad turn one photo into a video?

Slad runs your service photo through an AI video model that adds the motion flat photos can't show: natural movement, light, depth, and warmth. You get a polished short video in minutes, ready for Google, Instagram, Facebook, TikTok, and YouTube. You can also start from a short clip and Slad will remix it. No camera, no crew, no editor.

Spend protection
Why pay Slad to vet creators? Can't I just check their page?

A glance at a creator's page tells you their follower count and a few comments. It does not tell you what % of their followers are real, what their fair-price benchmark is for your tier, whether their engagement is rented or organic, or whether the account is fading. Slad computes those four things in under a minute, for both Instagram and TikTok. The fair-price feature alone usually saves practice owners more in one season than a year of Slad costs.

Channels
Does Slad replace Google Business, Instagram, Facebook, TikTok, and YouTube?

No, Slad connects to them. You authorize Google Business, Instagram, Facebook, TikTok, and YouTube once, then every video, photo, and offer publishes across them with one tap. You keep your accounts and your audience. Slad handles the publish, the cross-posting, the Google profile and posts, and the review replies.

Discovery
Will Slad help new patients find me, even in AI search?

Yes. Slad keeps your Google profile fresh so you rank when patients search nearby, and it features your practice on @searchslad, its public care channel, with a lasting page on the Slad care guide. Those pages help your practice show up in Google and in what ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, and Perplexity tell people who ask where to find care near them, with nothing for you to write or set up.

Operations
Will I have to retrain my staff?

No major training burden. Patients tap the Slad sticker, a modern QR code they never have to scan, for the service list, booking, and rewards, and move through the flow on their own. Your team can point at the sticker the same way they would point at a brochure. Marketing happens in the back office through your phone, not at the front desk.

Category
Is Slad an agency, or a tool, or a booking-system replacement?

None of the above. Slad is the operating system an independent practice runs themselves. It does not replace your booking system; it connects to it so patients can book and pay. It is not an agency, no one runs your account for you. It is the practice-grade alternative to a chain's marketing team, loyalty contract, and agency, starting at $199 a month.

Ordering
Can patients book and pay from the appointment?

Yes. Once your booking system is connected, patients tap the Slad sticker, a modern QR code with no scanning, see your live service list, send their booking straight to the practice, pay from their phone, and can join recurring memberships like a care club. No app to download, and your staff keeps working the way they already do.

Setup
How long until we're live?

Most practices are live the same day they receive their sticker pack. Average setup is under an hour: place stickers, link your accounts (Google, Instagram, Facebook, TikTok, YouTube), connect your booking system, and upload your service list and a few service photos. Your first service video and first multi-channel post can publish before the next clinic day starts.

Ordering
Can patients book and pay at the appointment without changing my booking system?

Yes, and you keep your existing booking system. Slad connects to it instead of replacing it: patients tap a sticker, a modern QR code with no scanning, see your live service list, send bookings to the practice, pay from their phone, and join memberships. No new hardware, and no app for patients to download.

Cost
What's a cheaper alternative to a healthcare marketing agency?

A healthcare marketing agency runs $2,500+/mo and only handles your posts. Slad is an operating system that does the marketing and runs your front desk, your reviews, and your local intel , starting at $199 a month, with no agency, no team to hire, and no ad spend.

Reputation
How can I stop bad reviews before they go public?

Catch the unhappy patient before they post. Slad asks for a quick rating at the appointment; a low score routes privately to management instead of becoming a public 1-star, so you can make it right, while happy patients get steered to a public Google review.

Content
How do I turn service photos into videos automatically?

Upload one service photo and Slad turns it into a polished short video with the motion, light, and warmth a still photo can't show, then posts it to Google, Instagram, Facebook, TikTok, and YouTube in one tap, with no filming or editing.

Independent practices
What's the best all-in-one app for independent practices?

Slad is built for independent practices: get found on Google, post your services to every channel, take bookings, payments, and memberships at the appointment, recover unhappy patients before they go public, and track the openings, cost moves, and policy in your local market, all in one app, starting at $199 a month.

Research
Are Slad's claims and revenue numbers backed by real research?

Yes. Every claim on this site, and every default in the revenue calculator, is tied to a published source: peer-reviewed research (for example, the Harvard study linking a one-star-higher rating to 5 to 9% more revenue for independent businesses), established research firms like BrightLocal, Rival IQ, and Gartner, and clearly-labeled industry data. Where a study gives a range, we use the conservative end. You can read every source, tagged by how credible it is, on the research page.

Word of mouth
How does Slad turn my customers into word of mouth?

When someone taps your Slad sticker, they see a short reel of your practice, and they can snap and share a photo and tag you to earn a reward, putting you in front of their network. You see every share.

Category
Is Slad an alternative to Tebra, JotPsych, or Freed?

Slad is the all-in-one alternative. Practices usually buy these separately: an EHR or practice-marketing platform (like Tebra), a patient-communication tool (like Weave or Podium), and a documentation or behavioral-health scribe (like JotPsych, Abridge, or Freed). Slad brings the growth side, the front desk, and the visit scribe together, from $199 a month: Google and AI-search presence with review replies and private low-rating capture, an AI phone receptionist that books and answers insurance and hours questions, online booking and payment, and an ambient scribe that drafts your SOAP note to approve. Slad does not claim those tools cannot do their piece; it replaces the stack with one flat price.

Every practice gets a Slad page.

One plan, everything included. Get on the map, make your reputation public, and run the full showcase that turns someone browsing the directory into a patient walking through your door. $199 a month.

What changes the day Slad goes live

Slad is not another marketing layer your team has to manage. It connects your Google presence, your appointments, your channels, and your spend into one operating system the owner runs themselves, with no agency, no team to hire, no ad spend, no app-switching, and no extra tools.

1 Before Slad

  • Your Google profile goes stale, posts are sporadic and reviews sit unanswered, so you slide down the results when patients search nearby.
  • Patients wait on staff to book and pay, happy patients leave without creating any digital lift, and you have no easy way to turn regulars into recurring revenue.
  • Reputation management is reactive. By the time you see a 1-star review, it is already public.
  • Service photos sit flat on Instagram and Google, with no time or budget to film. You juggle five apps or pay an agency $2,500+/mo to post for you.
  • You're guessing on your local market. New openings, closures, cost moves, and policy changes hit you before you see them coming.
  • You finish charting after every visit, notes pile up at night.
  • When you have an operating question (best service mix, fair labor cost, how to reply to a bad review), you ask your accountant, ask a fellow owner, or guess. The answer is hours or days away and rarely grounded in your numbers.

2 With Slad in place

  • Slad runs your Google profile on autopilot: posts on a cadence, your Instagram turned into Google posts, and a reply to every review in the patient's language, so you rise in Google and in the AI answers patients now get instead of sliding down the results.
  • Patients tap a Slad sticker, a modern QR code with no scanning, to book, pay, and join memberships, sent straight to your practice, and share their visit as verified promotion that brings the next patient in.
  • Unhappy patients route into a private manager feedback channel before they go public, and happy ones get steered to a public 5-star. Reputation Shield catches the moment.
  • One service photo becomes a polished video with real motion and warmth, and publishes to Google, Instagram, Facebook, TikTok, and YouTube in one tap. No app-switching, no agency.
  • One dashboard shows the openings, cost moves, policy shifts, and competitor moves in your local market, so you act first instead of reacting.
  • The ambient scribe drafts the note during the visit; you approve and move on.
  • Your built-in AI practice assistant already knows your practice (service list, reviews, booking system, channels) and your local market (openings, costs, policy, competitors), so you ask it real questions and get specific, numbers-tied answers in seconds, not generic advice.

In-practice

Simple for staff

Your team does not need a long explanation. They can simply say: “Booking, payment, and memberships are right there at the front desk.” Slad handles the digital flow from there, with no new booking system and no retraining.

Online

Online, on autopilot

Slad keeps your Google profile fresh, turns your services into videos that post to every channel, replies to your reviews, and turns happy patients into verified promotion, all on your approval.

Outcomes

More control, less fallout

You get found on Google, recover bad moments before they go public, and see what your local market is doing, so reputation risk goes down while patient-driven demand goes up.
