Patient materials.

Two pieces for the front desk. A one-page handout to give someone on the spot, and a tri-fold brochure to leave out for people to pick up. Both are concepts for sign-off, with placeholder photography.

The handout

One page, handed over in person.

Plain, printable on a single sheet, and written to survive being read in a waiting room or on a kitchen table that evening. It answers the four things people ask before they ask anything else, and it always ends with the clinic's number.

Treatment for hemorrhoids

You're not alone, and it's treatable.

Hemorrhoids are very common. Most people just want to feel like themselves again without a big operation or a long recovery. There is an in-office procedure that may be able to help, and this page covers the basics.

What is it?
A procedure called thermal submucosal hemorrhoidopexy. It is performed by a surgeon, in the office, in a single visit. There is no hospital stay.
How does it work?
Thermal energy is applied to the tissue just above the hemorrhoid. The tissue contracts and the hemorrhoid is drawn back into its normal position. Nothing is cut or removed.
Does it hurt?
Everyone's experience is different, so we won't promise you a particular one. Your surgeon will explain exactly what to expect, and what is used to keep you comfortable, at your consult.
Does it last?
No procedure can guarantee hemorrhoids never return. In the published study that followed patients for five years, most remained free of symptoms.
What happens next
  1. A consult. A short appointment where the surgeon examines you, answers everything, and tells you honestly whether this suits your situation.
  2. The procedure, if it is right for you. A single office visit.
  3. A follow-up, so we know how you are doing.

A consult carries no obligation. Plenty of people come in, ask their questions, and decide it isn't for them. That's a perfectly good outcome.

How the handout is meant to be used

Give it to someone after a conversation, not instead of one, and write the consult time on it if one has been booked. It is also the right thing to post or email to a "just researching" caller who is not ready to book yet.

The brochure

The tri-fold, for the waiting room.

A double-sided piece to leave at the front desk for patients to pick up. Both sides are shown as a designed concept so the printed piece is easy to picture.

From concept to print

This is a content and layout concept, meant to align on the message, tone, and feel. The final brochure would be produced by a designer, built to the exact specifications (size, bleed, fold, and color profile) of the print shop the clinic chooses. The photography shown is placeholder for visualization, and the clinic details and clinical claims still need medical and legal sign-off.

A calm, dignified piece patients can pick up and trust.

Plain language, real evidence, no hype. The same voice as everything else in the kit.
