Nephrology Website Design & Development
Your website is where referred patients decide whether to call your office or keep scrolling. It's where PCPs confirm you're the right specialist. And it's where Google decides whether you deserve to show up in local search. Most nephrology practice websites were built years ago and haven't kept up. We build websites specifically for nephrology practices — designed to convert referrals, educate patients, and grow your practice.
Why Your Nephrology Website Matters More Than You Think
Nephrology practices have a unique patient acquisition model. Unlike primary care, where patients search Google directly, most of your new patients arrive through PCP referrals. But here's what many practices miss: the referral doesn't close the loop. The patient still Googles you.
They search your practice name. They look at your website. They check your reviews. And they make a judgment — often within seconds — about whether your practice looks trustworthy, modern, and competent. If your site loads slowly, looks outdated, or doesn't clearly explain what you do, that referred patient may choose the other nephrology group in town. You'll never know you lost them.
Your website also plays a role in the referral relationship itself. PCPs and their staff visit your site when evaluating where to send patients. A professional, well-organized site with clear provider profiles, location information, and patient resources reinforces confidence in your practice.
And for the growing number of CKD patients who research their condition online, your website is an opportunity to become a trusted educational resource — building the relationship before the first appointment.
What Makes a Nephrology Website Effective
A nephrology website has different requirements than a general medical practice site. The content needs, patient audience, and conversion paths are specific to kidney care.
Referral Conversion
The primary job of your website is converting referred patients into booked appointments. This means clear calls to action, easy-to-find contact information, online scheduling, and provider profiles that build trust. Every page should make it simple for a patient who already has a referral to take the next step.
Patient Education Content
CKD patients have a long journey — from early staging through lifestyle management, dialysis decisions, and potentially transplant evaluation. Your website should provide accessible, accurate content about each stage. This serves patients directly and signals to Google that your site is authoritative on nephrology topics, improving your search visibility.
Mobile Performance
Over 60% of healthcare searches happen on mobile devices. Your site needs to load fast, display correctly, and make it easy to call or schedule from a phone. Most nephrology practice websites score below 50 on Google's PageSpeed test. We build to 90+.
Local SEO Foundation
Your site structure, page titles, schema markup, and content should be optimized for local search terms — "nephrologist near me," "kidney doctor [city]," and condition-specific queries in your market. This is different from general SEO; it requires understanding which terms nephrology patients actually search for.
HIPAA-Compliant Forms and Communication
Every contact form, scheduling widget, and patient communication pathway on your website must meet HIPAA requirements. We build compliance in from the start — secure forms, encrypted transmission, proper BAAs with any third-party tools.
Provider Profiles That Build Trust
Patients research individual doctors, not just practices. Strong provider profiles with professional photos, credentials, specialty focus areas, and a personal touch help patients feel confident before they walk in the door.

Why Nephrology Practices Choose MedTech for Website Development
We Understand Nephrology Operations
We've spent over a decade managing IT, phones, fax routing, and EHR workflows for nephrology practices. We know the referral lifecycle, dialysis coordination, CKD staging, and what keeps your staff up at night. That knowledge shapes every website we build.
Built for Conversion, Not Just Aesthetics
A beautiful website that doesn't generate appointments is a waste of money. Every design decision we make is informed by how nephrology patients actually find, evaluate, and choose a practice.
We Built NephroAssist
We're the only website agency that has built a production AI platform specifically for nephrology — with modules for patient chat, referral intake, clinical decision support, and voicemail routing. When your practice is ready for AI, the integration is seamless because we built both sides.
Frequently Asked Questions
How long does a nephrology website project take?
Most projects launch in 6–8 weeks. We handle the heavy lifting — content, design, development, and SEO setup — so your staff isn't burdened with homework.
Can you work with our existing website?
Sometimes a full rebuild is the right call, and sometimes a strategic refresh gets you 80% of the results at a fraction of the cost. We'll evaluate your current site and tell you honestly which approach makes sense.
Do you write the content or do we?
We write it. We'll interview your team to capture the specifics about your practice, providers, and services, then produce all the content. You review and approve before anything goes live.
What does it cost?
Every practice is different, so we don't publish cookie-cutter pricing. We'll give you a clear proposal after a discovery call where we learn about your practice, goals, and current site.
Do you offer ongoing maintenance and hosting?
Yes. We offer hosting and maintenance plans so your site stays fast, secure, and up-to-date after launch. We also handle content updates and performance monitoring.
Can the website integrate with NephroAssist?
Absolutely. PatientAssist (our 24/7 patient chatbot) can be embedded directly on your website. FaxAssist and VoiceAssist work alongside your site as part of a connected system. We built both, so integration is seamless.
