Instagram for clinics: what to post and what to leave out

A clinic's Instagram page works as a portfolio of trust. Here is a simple content mix and the mistakes to avoid.

Instagram for clinics: what to post and what to leave out

For a clinic, Instagram is rarely the place where a patient decides. It is the place where they check whether you look real, careful and experienced. Think of the page as a portfolio of trust, not an advertising board.

What works

  • Doctor introductions: who they are, what they specialise in and how they work with patients
  • Short explainers that answer one question each, such as "What does the first consultation involve?"
  • Clinic tours that show the real rooms, equipment and team
  • Answers to frequent questions in reels and stories
  • Patient stories, only with clear written consent

What to leave out

Never show a patient's face, name or medical details without written consent. Avoid promising or implying guaranteed results, and avoid pressure tactics such as countdown discounts for treatments. Before-and-after photos need particular care. Check the current Turkish Ministry of Health rules on health advertising and each platform's policies, and ask a legal advisor if you are unsure, because these rules change.

A simple weekly rhythm

  • Two educational posts or reels
  • One post that shows the team or the clinic
  • Daily stories when something is happening, such as a new piece of equipment or a Q&A
  • Time set aside every day to reply to comments and messages
