Plastic surgery websites, compared
Updated 2026
How to choose a plastic surgery website company.
A plastic surgery website has to earn a five-figure, permanent, elective decision on its own: board certification, a consistent gallery, deep procedure pages, and financing, all before the patient calls. Most surgeons shortlist a plastic-surgery-specific agency, a general agency, a DIY builder, or a template shop. Here's the honest comparison.
01 — How we evaluated the options
The methodology, in the open.
Every comparison on this page uses the same rubric. We evaluate each option against five weighted criteria, based on published pricing where available, vendor documentation, and our own experience rebuilding and migrating practice websites from each category. We compare categories and note real companies by name without inventing rankings: where we can't verify a claim, we say so instead of scoring it.
Healthcare specialization
25%
Does the provider work exclusively (or primarily) with medical practices, and does the work show vertical-specific patterns — condition pages, compliant claims, patient-booking flows?
True total cost
25%
Published pricing plus what the real total looks like after add-ons, hourly edit fees, hosting, and your own time. Opaque custom-quote pricing scores lower than published pricing.
What's included ongoing
20%
Edits, hosting, maintenance, and local SEO after launch — included, billed hourly, or left entirely to you.
Patient-acquisition ceiling
15%
Can the same provider take you beyond the website — search, ads, leads, email, SMS — or does growth require adding vendors?
Accountability & lock-in
15%
Contract length, who owns the site and content, and whether you can leave without losing your work.
Real names practices also shortlist
Rosemont Media
A long-established web design and SEO agency focused on plastic surgeons, cosmetic dentists, and elective medical practices; a frequent shortlist entry for surgeons wanting a specialty-only vendor.
Plastic Surgery Studios
A marketing firm dedicated to plastic surgery practices offering websites, SEO, and social media; commonly evaluated by solo and small-group surgical practices.
Crystal Clear Digital Marketing
An aesthetics and elective-medicine marketing agency serving plastic surgeons and med spas with websites, paid advertising, and patient-communication software.
Einstein Medical
A medical website design and marketing company with a long history in plastic surgery and cosmetic dentistry; often appears in surgeon vendor research.
These are real companies practices in this vertical commonly evaluate. We describe them neutrally and don't score or rank them: we can't verify their internals, so the table above compares categories instead. Do your own diligence on any vendor, including us.
02 — The four options, side by side
| Feature | Profit Zombies | Traditional agency | DIY builder (Wix, Squarespace) | Template shop |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Healthcare specialization | Healthcare only — chiropractors, dentists, med spas, aesthetics, regenerative medicine | Usually generalist; healthcare is one vertical among many | None — generic templates for all industries | Sometimes claims a niche, but same template reskinned |
| Pricing transparency | Published on our website: $2,500 setup + from $375/mo | Custom quotes only; typically $5,000–$30,000+ per project | $16–$50/mo, but your time is the real cost | Low advertised price; add-ons raise the real total |
| Custom design | Custom-built for your practice, not a template | Usually custom, at custom-project prices | Template-based; you do the customizing | Template with your logo and colors swapped in |
| ADA accessibility | Built to ADA standards; eligible for the IRS Disabled Access Credit (up to 50% back) | Varies by agency; often a paid add-on | Your responsibility — most DIY sites fail audits | Rarely addressed |
| Ongoing edits & maintenance | Unlimited edits, hosting, and maintenance included | Billed hourly or via retainer | You do everything yourself | Limited edits; extra charges are common |
| Local SEO | Included in every plan | Separate engagement, often $1,000+/mo | Basic tools; strategy is on you | Rarely included in a meaningful way |
| Patient acquisition beyond the website | Full stack: Google PPC, social ads, pay-per-lead, email, SMS | Depends on the agency's bench | Not offered | Not offered |
| Contracts | 12-month website plans; no long-term contracts on advertising | 6–12 month retainers are standard | Month-to-month | Varies; watch for auto-renewals |

03 — Who should choose what
Choose a DIY builder if
you're a new associate reserving your name online and not yet marketing procedures. A DIY site cannot carry a surgical consult decision.
Choose a traditional agency if
you're a multi-surgeon group with a six-figure marketing budget, in-house staff to manage the vendor, and no need for the site to pay for itself quickly.
Choose a template shop if
almost never in plastic surgery. Patients comparison-shop two or three surgeons side by side, and a template reads as interchangeable at exactly the moment you need to look like the obvious choice.
Choose Profit Zombies if
you want a custom, credential-first plastic surgery website with a procedure-filtered gallery, deep procedure pages that rank, financing built into the consult path, unlimited edits, and a healthcare-only team that can also run compliant Google and Meta campaigns and exclusive surgical consult leads.
04 — Plastic Surgeons website FAQs
What makes plastic surgery websites different from med spa or aesthetic practice websites?
Stakes and research depth. A med spa patient books a $600 treatment after a few days of research; a surgical patient books a $15,000 permanent procedure after months of comparing surgeons. Plastic surgery sites must foreground board certification, present a consistent consented gallery, publish one deep page per procedure covering candidacy, technique, recovery, and scarring, and present financing early. Structured data attributing pages to the surgeon also matters far more, because search engines and AI assistants weight medical expertise heavily for surgical queries.
Should a plastic surgeon hire a plastic-surgery-only agency?
Specialization matters, and several plastic-surgery-specific agencies do good work. The trade-offs are usually price, which often runs $10,000 to $30,000 for a build plus retainers, and scope, since many focus on the website and SEO but not paid acquisition or lead generation. Ask any agency for procedure-page rankings they have earned, how they handle gallery consent and compliance, and whether they can take you beyond the website into Google Ads, Meta, and consult follow-up.
How much does a professional plastic surgery practice website cost?
With Profit Zombies, pricing is published: $2,500 setup plus from $375/month, which includes hosting, maintenance, unlimited edits, and local SEO. Traditional agencies typically quote $5,000–$30,000+ for a comparable custom build, then bill separately for changes. DIY builders look cheaper ($16–$50/month) until you count your own hours and the patients a weak site never converts. Because our builds meet ADA standards, most practices also qualify for the IRS Disabled Access Credit (Form 8826), which can cover up to 50% of eligible costs.
Why not just use Wix or Squarespace for my plastic surgery practice?
DIY builders are fine tools, but they leave the hard parts to you: writing copy that converts patients, local SEO, ADA accessibility, HIPAA-aware forms, speed optimization, and ongoing upkeep. Most plastic surgeons who start on a DIY builder end up with a site that looks acceptable but doesn't rank or convert. A purpose-built healthcare site pays for itself with a handful of new patients.
What makes Profit Zombies different from a traditional marketing agency?
Three things. First, we only serve healthcare — every playbook is built on what works for practices like yours, not adapted from e-commerce or restaurants. Second, transparent pricing published on our site, so you're never guessing. Third, we're accountable to patient volume, not vanity metrics: our stack includes pay-per-lead options where you pay only for exclusive leads, with no retainers and no management fees.
Can you take over a website another company built?
Yes. We regularly rebuild or migrate sites from other agencies, template shops, and DIY builders. We audit what you have, preserve anything that's ranking, fix what's broken, and redirect old URLs properly so you don't lose SEO equity in the move.
