Offer commentary, not a profile
Nobody publishes an article because a doctor is good. They publish because something is happening: a seasonal illness wave, a dust storm, a new treatment being discussed, a health claim spreading online. Send a two-line note offering comment on that specific thing, with your mobile number and the languages you can speak in.
Include one sentence that is already quotable. Editors are choosing between you and someone who made it easy — being easy is most of the job.
Selling products or courses alongside the clinic?
Shopify is the quickest way to put a store behind your name — try it free.
Be the easiest specialist to work with
Reply within the hour during working days, speak in short sentences a non-medical reader understands, never ask to approve the article, and correct errors politely rather than publicly. Journalists trade contacts among themselves, and one good experience becomes three more calls.
Have a ready kit: a current photo at reasonable resolution, a two-line and a five-line bio, your correct title and licence details, and the name of your clinic spelled the way you want it printed.
Turn one mention into a year of proof
A published quote is worth more after the news cycle than during it. Save the link and a screenshot, add it to your website and profile, and reference it where it is relevant — not as a boast, but as third-party evidence a patient can verify.
It also feeds search. Credible external mentions of your name, spelled consistently, are part of how search engines decide you are a real entity worth showing for your own name.
