Twelve years learning how patients actually make a decision.
I'm Sam, founder of EngageAds. I spent eight years selling diagnostics to physicians before I started running ads for them. Now I help elective medical practices fill their schedules with the right patients.

A surgery that let me breathe for the first time in my life. And a question I couldn't let go of.
My background isn't marketing. It's psychology and medical sales. I studied how people make decisions at Kennesaw State, then spent eight years selling blood work, MRI, and X-ray referrals to physicians. President's Club winner. Over $1M in profit for my company in a single year.
Every day of that job, I was building trust with physicians and practice managers. I learned what gets a phone call returned, and what makes a practice keep one vendor and quietly drop another.
Then I ended up on the patient side of it. I needed a septoplasty. Dr. Mark Van Deusen did the surgery, and for the first time in my life I could breathe.
So I went to Dr. Van Deusen with an offer. Let me run ads for you. Let me find the people who don't know they have options yet. Ninety days later, we'd brought in 676 new patient inquiries at under $17 each. That's how EngageAds started.
A small shop, run by one person, for the practices tired of being a line item.
No pitch deck. No pressure. You're talking to Sam.
The person behind the agency.
Born and raised in Georgia. Kennesaw State grad. My wife and I have hosted the same weekly board-game and crafting night at our house for two years. Same group, every week.
Same way I run client work. Show up every week and do the job.
Up in the basket with my wife. Different altitude, same lesson — the best decisions happen when people can finally breathe.
If you want to fill your schedule with the right patients, let's talk.
A 30-minute call. I'll look at your current numbers and tell you straight whether ads can move them. If yes, we'll talk about how. If not, we won't.
