Dick Pepper

President of VoxMD

I created VoxMD to help surgeons navigate their way through the ever-changing world of practice marketing, and to give honest, clear guidance on what works and, more importantly, what doesn't work but many agencies sell anyway. In this emerging area of AI and generative search, knowing what works for patient marketing, and how to avoid spending a fortune on pointless marketing initiatives with no ROI is more critical than ever.
