A lot of doctors now post funny reels on Instagram. Some get thousands of views and new followers. But followers and patients aren't the same people. Someone choosing a surgeon for their mother, or a dermatologist for a skin problem that's worrying them, is looking for calm expertise. If your feed looks like a comedy channel, that's the impression you leave.
The other common problem is posting without a plan. A festival greeting one week, a stock photo the next, a blurry clinic picture after that. Nothing tells a patient what you treat, how you work or why they should choose you.
Good medical social media is simple: show what you know, answer what patients ask and let people see the clinic before they visit.
