Patient Recruitment That Actually Recruits
Patient recruitment doesn’t have to take months. 1 million views on Instagram in the last 30 days. Individual videos regularly reaching over 1 million viewers. And an audience that doesn’t just watch — they enroll.
I fill rare disease and chronic illness recruitment campaigns in days, not quarters. Not because my audience is big (it is — 180,000+ followers), but because they’ve trusted me for 15 years.
I typically reply within 24 hours. Rush and last-minute recruiting available.
Recent Results
What “engaged audience” actually looks like:
26 patients delivered to a CVID survey. For context: CVID affects roughly 1 in 25,000 people. Finding these patients through traditional channels takes sponsors months. My community showed up because I asked.
40 completions overnight on an AI + Patient Healthcare survey. Posted it, went to bed, woke up to a filled study.
1,000,000 views in the past month across my Instagram, with multiple individual videos crossing the 1M-viewer mark — in communities where the entire patient population is sometimes smaller than that number.
These aren’t ad impressions. They’re patients who know my name, trust my judgment, and act when I bring them something worth their time.
Why This Works When Paid Advertising Doesn’t
Successful recruitment depends on trust — and patients in rare disease and chronic illness communities are rightfully cautious about who gets their health information.
I’m not a recruitment vendor who found these communities last quarter. I’m a rare disease patient myself, a published author on patient advocacy, and I’ve spent 15 years building these relationships through honesty, transparency, and evidence-based education. When I share an opportunity, my audience knows I’ve vetted it. That’s why transparent opportunities from me consistently outperform paid advertising: my community engages because the ask comes from someone they trust, not from an algorithm.
Patient Recruitment Services
Clinical trials, patient registries, surveys, advisory boards, focus groups, interviews, commercial and media campaigns, product testing, ambassador programs, and patient speakers. If it needs real patients, I can fill it — from 20 survey responses to nationwide multi-site trials.
My home turf is rare disease — plus the communities that overlap with it: autoimmune conditions, immunology, neurological and GI disorders, women’s health, chronic pain, mental health, and digital health. Outside my wheelhouse? Ask anyway. If I can’t help, I’ll refer you to someone who can.
Rush Recruiting
Enrollment deadline bearing down on you? This is a specialty, not an exception. Some of my best results — including that overnight 40-completion survey — came from projects other channels had run out of time on. If your timeline is measured in days, email me today.
Start Your Patient Recruitment Request
I’d love to hear about your project. To scope it and get you a quote quickly, include as much of the following as you have:
- Patient community — the condition or population you need to reach
- Criteria — inclusion/exclusion requirements, demographics, geography
- Number of patients — how many you need, and whether there’s a cap
- Landing page — where I’ll be sending patients (survey link, study page, sign-up form)
- Budget — your range for this project
- Deadlines — when recruitment needs to start and finish
Don’t have all of it nailed down? A rough sketch is enough to start the conversation — I’ll help you fill in the rest.
I typically reply within 24 hours with next steps and my current rate sheet.
