Introduction
In January 2023, Dr. Tom Knightly launched Evolve Brain Health as a solo psychiatrist with a single mission: deliver breakthrough mental health treatments and change lives. But like many providers in interventional psychiatry, he quickly found himself doing it all—clinical care, prior authorizations, intake calls, lead follow-up, and everything in between.
By May 2024, just 16 months later, his clinic was generating over $91,000 per month in revenue—a 5,320% increase.
This is the story of how Rise4 helped transform one solo provider’s vision into a scalable, thriving TMS and psychiatry practice.
The Challenge
When Dr. Knightly first started Evolve Brain Health, he was doing it all—literally:
- Managing leads
- Handling phone calls and authorizations
- Running daily TMS treatments
- Conducting every psych eval
Despite his relentless effort, he hit a wall: growth was limited by time. There were simply not enough hours in the day to scale.
After hiring his first employee in August 2023, revenue briefly dipped as he trained and transitioned operations. But the real turning point came in November, when he added Rise4’s Clinical Intake service.
The Strategy
Rise4 implemented its Essentials Tier Marketing & Intake Services, which included:
- Targeted ads across Google and Meta to drive lead volume
- A high-converting funnel built specifically for interventional psychiatry
- Full intake coverage: lead follow-up, psych eval bookings, and patient communication
- CRM and workflow automation to keep the engine running efficiently
With our clinical intake team handling all inbound leads and appointment setting, Dr. Knightly was finally able to focus on clinical care—and scale the business.
“Partnering with Rise4 transformed our clinic. The patient flow, the quality of leads, and the intake process have never been stronger.”
