Healthcare Copywriter


gil_healthcare logo
As a Healthcare Copywriter, I’m proud to be organically listed near the top of search engines. In fact, this one page of my website is how most of my clients have found me.

Because I’m a San Francisco freelance healthcare copywriter with vast expertise across all media, I’ve had the good fortune of working with dozens of healthcare practices, as well as Pfizer, Merck, and GSK.

Below are my specific healthcare copywriter credentials. These include projects for cosmetic and general dentists, periodontists, dermatologists, med spas, orthopedic surgeons, pain management physicians, plastic/cosmetic surgeons, radiologists, urgent care clinics, pharmacies, urologists, vascular surgeons, lap-band surgeons, chiropractors, health plans, health insurance companies, as well as social media ads for clinical trials research studies covering more than 60 medical conditions.

Furthermore, for 11 years, I was an Account Manager / Copy Supervisor for the largest healthcare ad agency in Southern California, working directly with their clients from Alaska to Massachusetts to Florida.

The Best New Body – Website Copywriting

For this 66-page site that I wrote and managed for a cosmetic and reconstructive plastic surgeon on the San Francisco peninsula, you first see black-and-white images on the Home Page of Face, Body, Breast and Skin, etc. But when you mouse over these B/W images, they change to color images.

TheBestNewBody.com website was written with keywords for both the surgical and non-surgical procedures pages with a specific keyword density to ensure great SEO search results. Kudos to Mitchell Design, Likoma and Surefire Online Marketing for working with me on the web design, WordPress implementation and SEO keywords, respectively.

A Success Story About “The World’s Ugliest Varicose Veins”


A world-famous cyclist had what he affectionately called “The world’s ugliest varicose veins” –– and they were frightful! He had a very large cluster of varicose veins on the back of his left leg. He also told me that his father had vein stripping to remove his varicose veins.

George wanted to wait until he retired from the racing circuit to address his vein disease. He became a patient of an Ivy League-trained specialist in Greenville, SC. The physician performed a quick, effective and minimally invasive procedure to make his varicose veins disappear. This video interview shows dramatic “before/after” images.
