How students actually get patients here
Being findable is free. What decides whether it turns into someone in your chair is a short list of things, and none of them costs anything either. This is that list, and it is the same list your dashboard shows you once you are live.
It works in both directions
Patients find you
Someone searches by city and by the treatment they need, opens your profile, sees when you are free and sends a request for a specific time. You approve or decline it — a request is not an automatic booking.
There is no charge per patient. Accepting your first patient starts a subscription of €80 a month, charged to a card you stored earlier; every patient after that is included.
Or you go and find them
Patients who searched and found nobody leave a request instead. You can read those requests for your city — what they need, when they can attend, whether they already have an X-ray — and offer to take one on. They then get a link to your profile and decide.
You never see their name, email or phone. They choose whether to contact you, not the other way round.
What makes the difference
In rough order of how much it matters.
Publish real hours
With no bookable times there is nothing for a patient to book, however good the rest of your profile is — this is the one thing that closes the first route off completely. It does not close the second: you can take a waiting patient on with no hours published at all, and the two of you arrange the visit between you.
You set a weekly pattern once — Tuesdays 14:00–17:00 — and it fills in actual bookable slots three weeks ahead, in Bulgarian time, automatically.
Say which treatments you can take
Patients filter by treatment. With none selected you do not appear in a filtered search at all, only in the unfiltered list.
Patients are not asked to diagnose themselves. Plenty of requests arrive with no treatment named, because working out what someone needs is your job, not theirs — which is why the requests you can read are worth reading.
A photo — without one you are not listed at all
A face is required to appear in search. Until you add one a patient cannot find you, cannot open your profile and cannot book you, however complete the rest of it is. After that your search result is a face and a sentence: someone choosing who will treat them is choosing a person, so the intro line is worth writing.
Show some of your work
Case photos are the difference between describing your work and showing it. A patient can look before they commit to anything.
Photos of a patient need that patient’s consent, requested and recorded through the platform. Nothing is published without it.
Ask for the review afterwards
A review is the only thing on your profile written by somebody other than you, and a patient can only leave one for a visit you have marked complete.
What you keep
The cases, the photos and the reviews are a record of your clinical work, and they remain yours. Students graduate; the portfolio does not expire with the subscription, and it is worth something in a job interview in a way that a semester of chasing relatives is not.
What this is not
Nobody is guaranteed patients — not by us, and not by anyone charging a great deal more for the same promise. What is guaranteed is that people looking for treatment in your city can see you, that you can see the ones nobody has answered, and that you stop whenever you decide — the subscription runs to the end of the period you have paid for. We would rather say that plainly than quote a number we cannot stand behind.

The demand on the platform is public and updated continuously — look at it before you decide anything.
