Instead of trying to reinvent the wheel, you can look at what they’re doing as a reference when starting your channel. Here are 62 doctors on Youtube that deserve your subscription and why.
Over 2 billion users log into Youtube on a monthly basis. That’s almost 30% of the entire world’s population watching videos on this website.
This provides an opportunity for businesses to share their knowledge with a massive population, regardless of what industry they serve. But out of all verticals, doctors can benefit the most. That’s because 70,000 health-related searches happen each minute but only one-third of it is accurate information.
In other words, millions of people want to have easy access to accurate medical data but a lot of what they’re finding is false. That’s dangerous for patients on a global scale.
So if you’re a doctor, posting regularly on Youtube about healthcare will not only increase patient volume but it will also boost their overall safety.
But starting isn’t easy. It requires a well thought out strategy, content generation, and consistency. However, there are already doctors using this social media platform that make amazing content. So instead of trying to reinvent the wheel, you can look at what they’re doing as a reference when starting your channel.
Here are 62 doctors on Youtube that deserve your subscription and why.
Doctor Mikhail Varshavski is the perfect example of a physician who’s leading the way on Youtube. He’s been in the social media and content game for a while now with over 8 million followers across all channels. With those numbers, he’s considered a celebrity influencer.
Since starting his channel in 2016, he’s racked up…
His video content touches on a variety of health-related topics. In one video segment called Wednesday Checkup, he discusses different healthcare topics happening across the globe. In another, he reacts to popular medical television dramas and points out discrepancies.
What he uploads isn’t all about health tips which is why he’s such a good example of a doctor on Youtube. His channel not only taps into his expertise but it also contains videos that are the result of popular trends across the platform. Additionally, he teams up with other popular influencers to make collaborative content.
His strategy ensures that he receives health tip related search traffic, keeps him relevant to the everyday users and taps into the audiences of those he works with.
Even if you’re a specialty doctor, Youtube still presents a huge opportunity for you. Dr. Eric Berg DC is an example of a physician who chose a niche for medical videos and succeeded. He’s a best selling author and expert in ketosis and intermittent fasting and his channel acts as an extension of his knowledge.
Since 2008 his channel statistics include…
He’s an expert in a trendy topic that posts often which is a formula for success on Youtube. His extensive library of videos guarantees that his channel would continue to grow even if he stopped publishing.
But some of his most popular videos analyze reasons why certain foods and techniques work better than others when it comes to losing weight.
Of course, a celebrity healthcare professional would eventually land on our list. Doctor Oz is a popular daytime television personality whose show is now in its 11th season. He created his channel back in 2006 which lands him as one of the first healthcare professionals to do so.
Since then his channel has…
Having a television show makes it easy for Doctor Oz to grow his channel. His uploads are snippets of his show, categorized into digestible clips. But what makes his strategy great is similar to Dr. Eric Berg DC. He publishes consistently and more than twice per week.
“How To” videos are one of the most successful categories to target on Youtube as an expert within your field. If you know steps patients can take to cure or feel better from common ailments you’re sitting on a content gold mine. This is exactly the type of channel that Dr. Josh Axe runs.
Since 2010 his channel has…
Since Dr. Josh Axe is a frequent guest on Doctor Oz’s television show, he’s considered a celebrity. However, his content is more unique. Rather than uploading clips from his appearances that already aired he publishes original “How To” content.
Beyond treatment and general wellness tips exists a world of non-prescription products that could leave patients overwhelmed. Dr. Dray is a dermatologist whose channel exists to review skincare products and give her recommendations.
Her channel has…
Her strategy is a great, original idea that covers products in an industry valued at $300 billion. That makes it hard for the average consumer to find the right product for their skin health. However, her videos make that process much easier as she talks about the benefits, costs, and more of each product she reviews.
You won’t have any success in Youtube if you make content that isn’t interesting to patients. In order to find out what they’re searching for, you’ll have to do some research beforehand. Content generation is largely one of the most difficult aspects of the entire video creation process.
However, Dr. Vivek Joshi is a great example of a healthcare professional who nails content on topics people search for on the platform.
His channel started just two years ago in 2018. Since then he has…
What’s most interesting about Dr. Vivek Joshi’s channel is the type of content he publishes. There’s a higher chance of users discovering his channel because of the titles he uses. Specifically, each video contains search engine friendly terms that get searched often.
The best part is that they’re not solely discoverable on Youtube. What I mean by that is that his universal and often searched title phrases have a high chance of also landing on the first page of Google.
Since searching across the web in search of accurate medical information is so difficult, why not be the source?
If you open up yourself to answering wellness questions, patients will participate. Dr. Robert Morsand’s Youtube channel contains raw, unedited Q&A sessions where he sits down in his office and answers health-related questions he receives from people on the internet.
Since starting 2011 he’s garnered…
His content strategy is unique and effective. Each Q&A session videos are rich with content. He talks about different topics, gives personal stories and thoroughly answers questions that people submit. Each session is no shorter than an hour in length and contains clickable timestamps within them so users can navigate through topics.
Out of all of the daily medical searches that happen, a percentage of them are people curious about what life is like as a doctor. Physicians are only a small portion of the population yet hold some of the most important positions on Earth.
Sharing first-hand experience is what Kevin Jubbal M.D. captures on his Youtube channel.
Since 2017, he’s reached…
His strategy consists of himself sharing personal stories as a physician and what his daily routine looks like.
But he also opens up his channel to other doctors, psychiatrists and even med students in well-produced segments entitled Day In The Life. It’s an interesting take on creating Youtube content outside of wellness tips and information that’s still about the medical field.
Video blogging or Vlogging is a trend that caught on fairly recently. Essentially it’s a video where the content creator holds their camera out like they’re taking a selfie and takes viewers through their daily life. This style of content became such a large trend that many of the most popular Youtubers started their own separate channel just to give their communities a more personal feel.
Although she created her account back in 2012, she didn’t start actively posting until recently. Since then she’s earned…
Vlogging is a similar concept to what Kevin Jubbal, M.D. does with his Day In The Life segment but it’s less polished.
If you weren’t familiar with this style of video content, you’d think that it’d make them less appealing. However, that’s not the case as this style makes her videos much more personal and real. She’s giving you a peek into the daily life of a foundation doctor.
Youtube doesn’t only host pre-recorded videos, you can also go live on the platform. That presents an even greater opportunity to connect with your audience of patients who have wellness questions.
Practicing chiropractor, Dr. Doug Willen, utilizes this feature since he started in 2019 and it’s brought him results...
Beyond the live question and answer segments, he also provides a plethora of unique segments. His content gives an inside look into different chiropractor procedures on patients.
These types of videos help inform people not only what kind of services chiropractors offer but also what to expect if they have a certain type of procedure scheduled already.
Of course, before realising each video that contains one of his patients he asks for their consent in order to avoid a HIPAA violation.
The following doctors on this list also deserve your subscription! We didn’t include a breakdown of their channel because they follow a similar format to the accounts above.
