Practices that want a BAA from day one, a published starting price and Google benchmarks for 1,330 US dermatology practices can start with Ichelon Consulting US.

“They were able to get all my ideas and work with me over a period of three to four months and create this amazing website. It's super customized, very modern, and it incorporates all the elements that I had wanted — the patient portal, nice pictures, a very interactive website, patient reviews. I would highly recommend their company to anyone who wants to make an excellent website.”

Methodology

How we scored each agency

We scored every agency on seven things a practice can check for itself on an agency's public pages. Each criterion is worth 0, 1 or 2 points, for a maximum of 14. A 0 means we didn't see it on the pages we checked. It doesn't mean the agency lacks it, so ask.

Criterion	How points are given
Healthcare focus	2 = healthcare-only, or one healthcare specialty only (for example dental-only). 1 = healthcare is one vertical among several.
HIPAA / BAA practice	2 = offers or publishes a Business Associate Agreement. 1 = describes HIPAA practice in its services (HIPAA-trained staff, HIPAA-compliant sites, hosting, tracking or campaigns).
Published pricing	2 = prices or a starting price on its site. 1 = budget ranges on its site.
Proof	2 = case studies or results pages. 1 = testimonials or a client list.
Specialties	2 = dedicated pages or programs for several specialties or practice types. 1 = one healthcare segment, or a general claim.
Research and tools	2 = original research and free tools. 1 = one of: research, data or statistics resources, ebooks, a book, or tools.
Team	2 = named team pages or bios. 1 = a named founder or leader, or a stated team size.
Third-party reviews	Not scored in this edition. We didn't check every agency's Clutch, G2, Google or directory profile, so we only quote a rating where we saw it on a public page. Read recent reviews yourself before you shortlist.

We chose these criteria because they're the questions practice owners ask us most, and because each one is easy to check. They aren't neutral: we publish all seven ourselves, so the method suits us. That's why the disclosure sits at the top and every score links to the evidence.

How to choose

How to choose from this list

A list can narrow the field. It can't pick for you. Shortlist two or three agencies that fit your practice type and size, then ask each one the same questions:

"Which practices like mine do you work with now, and can I speak to one?" A reference call with a current client tells you more than any score.
"Will you sign a BAA, and how do you keep tracking off booking and patient pages?" Listen for specifics, not reassurance.
"What does the retainer cover, and how is ad spend handled?" Ask for it in writing, with media spend shown separately from fees.
"Who owns the website, ad accounts and Google Business Profile?" The answer should be you.
"What will you report each month?" Calls, booking requests and new patients by source, not just traffic.
"Will you report medical and cosmetic dermatology separately?" The two sides have different patients, costs and margins.

For the full checklist and red flags, read how to choose a healthcare marketing agency for a small practice. If you're also weighing software, see healthcare marketing agency vs all-in-one automation platforms.
