The operating system for orthopedic and occupational-medicine practices.

Slad is the operating system for orthopedic and occupational-medicine practices: get found by the PCPs, employers, and adjusters who send the cases, turn return-to-work and occ-med work into a fast visible pipeline, let patients book and pay, recover unhappy patients before they go public, and see what is moving in your local market. It replaces your workers-comp coordinator and your imaging software in one operating system, $999 a month, no agency, no team to hire, no ad spend.

See who the PCPs, employers, and adjusters are referring to instead of you, and what each lost case is worth.

30 seconds. No name. No email. No card.

HIPAA-compliant. Patient data encrypted, BAA available.

Every system your business runs on assumes someone is operating it, even the AI tools. That operator was never supposed to be you. Slad is the operator.

One operating system. Works with Google, your clearinghouse, and the imaging you already run.

The referral and return-to-work case flow

Six things Slad does on every case, so your team does not have to.

When a referral lands, this is what happens next, without you hiring more staff, training anyone, or buying new software.

1

Capture every referral

When a PCP, employer, or adjuster sends a case, Slad captures it and routes it the same hour. The referrer sees a practice that moves, and keeps sending you the next one.

2

Hear the rough cases first, privately

If a case went sideways, the patient tells you directly, straight to the practice, not the internet, so you can make it right. They can still leave a public review. You just get the chance to fix it first.

3

Capture the work capacity

Record a Functional Capacity Evaluation, the patient's real, tested physical limits, so every return-to-work decision rests on documented data, not a guess.

4

Match capacity to the job

Slad matches the FCE to the employer's open roles, ranked by fit, with the gating limits called out, so you return the patient to work they can safely do.

5

Draft the work-restrictions letter

The letter to the employer and adjuster writes itself from the FCE, grounded only in the documented limits, so the case moves the same day instead of sitting in a queue.

6

Turn the case around fast

Fast, clean cases are why employers and adjusters keep sending work. Slad keeps every case moving, so the next referral is already on its way before this one closes.

No new software for your team to learn. No paperwork backlog. Every case captured, matched, and documented, so referrers keep choosing you.

Everything an ortho or occ-med practice needs.One app. No agency, no team, no ad spend.

Slad replaces your workers-comp coordinator and your imaging software, plus the rest of the stack an ortho or occ-med practice pieces together: a referrer-facing Google manager, FCE and return-to-work matching, workers-comp intake and surgical pre-authorization, DICOM imaging with AI measurement, an AI receptionist that answers the calls you miss, a reputation tool, and local market intel, for $999 a month.

Get Found by Referrers

Show up first when a PCP, employer, or workers-comp adjuster looks for who to refer to, and surface when patients ask ChatGPT, Gemini, or Perplexity for an ortho or occ-med practice. Slad keeps your Google profile fresh with posts and review replies and presents your conditions treated, procedures, and credentials, so referrers and patients find you first.

Imaging with AI Measurement

Store and view DICOM imaging right in the browser with no install, and let Slad measure tibial, Cobb, and joint angles for you, track every implant, and sweep them against the FDA recall database.

FCE + Return-to-Work Matching

Capture a Functional Capacity Evaluation, then match the patient to the employer roles they can safely return to, ranked by fit with the gating limits called out. Slad drafts the work-restrictions letter from the FCE and turns every case around fast, so employers and adjusters keep sending you the next one.

Reputation Shield

Recover unhappy patients before they go public. Slad routes low ratings privately to management and drafts your review replies, so 1-star damage gets caught at the appointment, not on Google.

See Your Referral Market

See which referrers are sending cases where, the practices opening and closing near you, and the workers-comp policy windows before they hit, so you can win the next referral.

Workers-Comp Intake

Fast online intake for employer and workers-comp referrals, so adjusters and case managers get what they need the same day. Slad flags the under-coded visits and unbilled FCE, IME, and impairment work that quietly leak workers-comp revenue.

Your AI Practice Assistant

A built-in AI assistant that already knows your practice (service list, reviews, booking system, channels) and your local market (openings, closures, cost moves, policy, competitors). Ask it real questions and get specific, numbers-tied answers, not generic advice.

Frequently asked questions

The questions practice owners ask before they sign up.

Pricing
What's the price, and what's the catch?

One plan, $999 a month, everything included. You get your referrer-facing Google and AI search presence, FCE and return-to-work job matching, workers-comp intake, appointment booking and payments, Reputation Shield, local market intel, and the AI practice assistant. All continuously updated. 7 days free, no contract.

ROI
What return can I expect?

Fair question: Slad runs $999 a month, and the return comes from the referrals and cases it helps you win and document. More referrals from the PCPs, employers, and adjusters who find you, faster workers-comp approvals through the pre-authorization gate, fewer no-shows, and reputation recovery that protects your rating. Put your own cases per day and average case value into the revenue calculator to see your estimated extra revenue, payback period, and return against what you pay. Every number it uses is grounded in published research.

Features
What exactly does Slad do?

One system instead of a stack. Get found by the PCPs, employers, and workers-comp adjusters who send cases. An AI phone line that answers, books, and takes a work-injury intake, queues it, and auto-invites the worker, with after-hours escalation that routes urgent red-flag symptoms to 911 and everything else to an urgent callback. An orthopedic EHR with built-in specialty templates, PACS imaging with AI bone measurement, FCE and return-to-work matching against employer job requirements, e-prescribing with PDMP checks and opioid MME monitoring, implant tracking with FDA recall sweeps, and outcome scores (KOOS, DASH, QuickDASH, Oswestry). Occupational-health exams: DOT physicals, drug testing, OSHA surveillance, and pre-placement physicals. Workers-comp claim submission, a pre-authorization gate, and reserve management, with multi-party case access for the worker, employer, adjuster, and nurse case manager. A no-login patient portal with PT exercise plans, symptom intake, and video visits, plus telemedicine, and an AI operator that runs it all. From $999 a month.

AI assistant
What can the in-app AI practice assistant actually help me with?

Quite a lot, because it already knows your practice and your local market. It reads your service list, your reviews, your booking data, your connected channels, and your Slad settings, and it sees the live signals in your local market (openings, closures, cost moves, policy windows, competitor moves). So when you ask things like "what is my best service mix for the busy season," "should I run a care club this winter," or "draft a reply to this 1-star review," you get specific, numbers-tied answers grounded in your actual numbers and what is moving near you, not generic advice. It also walks you through how to do anything in the app, from connecting your booking system to scheduling a Google post. Per-practice chat thread, isolated to your account.

Front desk
What happens to the calls my office misses?

Slad gives you a dedicated business number with an AI receptionist that picks up the calls your office misses, schedule-aware, so it only steps in when no one can. It handles both sides: it books and reschedules patients and answers hours, and for referrers, PCPs, employers, and workers-comp adjusters, it takes referral and work-injury intake, then takes a message or transfers to a person when a case needs one. It never gives medical advice.

Documentation
Can Slad draft my operative reports for me?

Yes. The ambient scribe records the procedure, transcribes it, and drafts the operative report for you to review and approve before anything is saved. You stay focused on the case instead of the chart, and you approve every note before it lands. Audio is not stored.

Reputation
What if a patient has a bad experience?

Before a patient is guided toward sharing, they rate their visit. If they select a low rating, Slad routes that feedback privately to management instead of pushing them toward a public post. Your team gets the chance to recover the moment while the patient is still on site, before frustration becomes a Google or Yelp review. We do not block public reviews. We give you a chance to fix the issue first.

Content
How does Slad turn one photo into a video?

Slad runs your service photo through an AI video model that adds the motion flat photos can't show: natural movement, light, depth, and warmth. You get a polished short video in minutes, ready for Google, Instagram, Facebook, TikTok, and YouTube. You can also start from a short clip and Slad will remix it. No camera, no crew, no editor.

Workers-comp
Does the workers-comp pre-auth gate really hold surgery until the carrier approves?

Yes. Slad blocks the OR booking until the carrier approves, then pre-fills the operative note.

Channels
Does Slad replace Google Business, Instagram, Facebook, TikTok, and YouTube?

No, Slad connects to them. You authorize Google Business, Instagram, Facebook, TikTok, and YouTube once, then every video, photo, and offer publishes across them with one tap. TikTok is the one exception: your post lands in your TikTok drafts, ready for you to hit publish. You keep your accounts and your audience. Slad handles the publish, the cross-posting, the Google profile and posts, and the review replies.

Discovery
Will Slad help new patients find me, even in AI search?

Yes. Slad keeps your Google profile fresh so you rank when patients search nearby, with a lasting page on the Slad care guide. Those pages help your practice show up in Google and in what ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, and Perplexity tell people who ask where to find care near them, with nothing for you to write or set up.

Operations
Will I have to retrain my staff?

No major training burden. Patients tap the Slad sticker, a modern QR code they never have to scan, for the service list, booking, and rewards, and move through the flow on their own. Your team can point at the sticker the same way they would point at a brochure. Marketing happens in the back office through your phone, not at the front desk.

Category
Is Slad an agency, or a tool, or a booking-system replacement?

None of the above. Slad is the operating system an ortho or occ-med practice runs itself. It does not replace your EHR; it connects so referrers, patients, and adjusters move faster. It is not an agency, no one runs your account for you. It is the alternative to an orthopedic EHR, a workers-comp platform, and a clearinghouse stack, $999 a month.

Ordering
Can patients book and pay from the appointment?

Yes. Once your booking system is connected, patients tap the Slad sticker, a modern QR code with no scanning, see your live service list, send their booking straight to the practice, pay from their phone, and can join recurring memberships like a care club. No app to download, and your staff keeps working the way they already do.

Setup
How long until we're live?

Most practices are live the same day they receive their sticker pack. Average setup is under an hour: place stickers, link your accounts (Google, Instagram, Facebook, TikTok, YouTube), connect your booking system, and upload your service list and a few service photos. Your first service video and first multi-channel post can publish before the next clinic day starts.

Ordering
Can patients book and pay at the appointment without changing my booking system?

Yes, and you keep your existing booking system. Slad connects to it instead of replacing it: patients tap a sticker, a modern QR code with no scanning, see your live service list, send bookings to the practice, pay from their phone, and join memberships. No new hardware, and no app for patients to download.

Cost
What's a cheaper alternative to an orthopedic EHR and workers-comp stack?

An orthopedic EHR, a workers-comp platform, and a clearinghouse stack run well over $2,500/mo combined and still leave your front desk and reputation to you. Slad is cheaper than an orthopedic EHR + workers-comp platform + clearinghouse stack and does the marketing, the front desk, the reviews, and the local intel too, from $999 a month, with no separate platforms to license.

Reputation
How can I stop bad reviews before they go public?

Catch the unhappy patient before they post. Slad asks for a quick rating at the appointment; a low score routes privately to management instead of becoming a public 1-star, so you can make it right, while happy patients get steered to a public Google review.

Content
How do I turn service photos into videos automatically?

Upload one service photo and Slad turns it into a polished short video with the motion, light, and warmth a still photo can't show, then posts it to Google, Instagram, Facebook and YouTube in one tap, with no filming or editing, and drops it into your TikTok drafts ready to publish.

Independent practices
What's the best all-in-one app for independent practices?

Slad is built for independent practices: get found on Google, post your services to every channel, take bookings, payments, and memberships at the appointment, recover unhappy patients before they go public, and track the openings, cost moves, and policy in your local market, all in one app, starting at $199 a month.

Research
Are Slad's claims and revenue numbers backed by real research?

Yes. Every claim on this site, and every default in the revenue calculator, is tied to a published source: peer-reviewed research (for example, the Harvard study linking a one-star-higher rating to 5 to 9% more revenue for independent businesses), established research firms like BrightLocal, Rival IQ, and Gartner, and clearly-labeled industry data. Where a study gives a range, we use the conservative end. You can read every source, tagged by how credible it is, on the research page.

Word of mouth
How does Slad turn my patients into referrals and reviews?

When a patient taps your Slad sticker, Slad steers happy ones toward a public Google review and makes referring you a one-tap share, while a low rating routes to you privately first. You see every review and referral.

Category
Is Slad an alternative to ModMed, Nextech, Concentra, or Enlyte?

Slad is the single system that replaces that whole stack. Orthopedic practices otherwise run a specialty EHR (like ModMed or Nextech), occupational-health clinics run a separate workers-comp clinic platform (like Concentra or AOI), and the workers-comp claim sits in another managed-care system (like Enlyte, DataCare, Gradient AI, or Terra). Slad brings the orthopedic and workers-comp workflow into one, from $999 a month: referral and work-injury intake, FCE and return-to-work matching, PACS imaging with AI bone measurement, e-prescribing with PDMP and opioid monitoring, implant tracking, outcome scores, DOT physicals, drug testing, OSHA surveillance, workers-comp claims with a pre-authorization gate, multi-party case access, telemedicine, and an AI operator that runs it. Slad does not claim any of them cannot do their piece; it replaces the stack with one system.

Every practice gets a Slad page.

One plan, everything included. Get found by the referrers who send the cases, turn around return-to-work fast, and run the showcase that turns a searching PCP or adjuster into your next referral. $999 a month.

What changes the day Slad goes live

Slad is not another marketing layer your team has to manage. It connects your Google presence, your appointments, your channels, and your spend into one operating system the owner runs themselves, with no agency, no team to hire, no ad spend, no app-switching, and no extra tools.

1 Before Slad

  • Your Google profile goes stale, posts are sporadic and reviews sit unanswered, so you slide down the results when patients search nearby.
  • Referrals go to whoever turns cases around fastest, FCE and return-to-work paperwork piles up, and you have no easy way to keep employer and adjuster accounts coming back.
  • Reputation management is reactive. By the time you see a 1-star review, it is already public.
  • Your referral relationships and Google profile sit flat, with no time or budget to keep employers and adjusters updated. You juggle five apps or pay an agency $2,500+/mo to post for you.
  • You're guessing on your local market. New openings, closures, cost moves, and policy changes hit you before you see them coming.
  • Return-to-work paperwork and pre-auths pile up, chased by phone.
  • When you have an operating question (best payer and case mix, fair labor cost, how to reply to a bad review), you ask your accountant, ask a fellow owner, or guess. The answer is hours or days away and rarely grounded in your numbers.

2 With Slad in place

  • Slad runs your Google profile on autopilot: posts on a cadence, your Instagram turned into Google posts, and a reply to every review in the patient's language, so you rise in Google and in the AI answers patients now get instead of sliding down the results.
  • Slad captures every referral and the FCE, matches the patient to the return-to-work roles they can safely do, and drafts the work-restrictions letter, so cases close fast and referrers keep sending the next one.
  • Unhappy patients route into a private manager feedback channel before they go public, and happy ones get steered to a public 5-star. Reputation Shield catches the moment.
  • One service photo becomes a polished video with real motion and warmth, and publishes to Google, Instagram, Facebook and YouTube in one tap, with a TikTok draft ready to publish. No app-switching, no agency.
  • One dashboard shows the openings, cost moves, policy shifts, and competitor moves in your local market, so you act first instead of reacting.
  • One AI coordinates the case, drafts the work-restrictions letter, and gates surgery on pre-auth.
  • Your built-in AI practice assistant already knows your practice (service list, reviews, booking system, channels) and your local market (openings, costs, policy, competitors), so you ask it real questions and get specific, numbers-tied answers in seconds, not generic advice.

In-practice

Simple for staff

Your team does not need a long explanation. They can simply say: “Intake, scheduling, and case paperwork are right there at the front desk.” Slad handles the digital flow from there, with no new booking system and no retraining.

Online

Online, on autopilot

Slad keeps your Google profile fresh, turns your services into videos that post to every channel, replies to your reviews, and turns happy patients into verified promotion, all on your approval.

Outcomes

More control, less fallout

You get found on Google, recover bad moments before they go public, and see what your local market is doing, so reputation risk goes down while patient-driven demand goes up.
