Dr. Malcolm Lesavoy, Beverly Hills: 24.63× return on ad spend

Dr. Malcolm Lesavoy, a board-certified plastic surgeon in Beverly Hills and former Chief of Plastic Surgery at UCLA, generated $447,906 in booked surgeon's fees from $18,185 in ad spend with Pagerising. That is a 24.63× return on ad spend, or $429,721 net of ad spend. Every consultation was prepaid.

Every consultation in this case was prepaid: each patient had been qualified by a Pagerising coordinator and had paid the consultation fee before being booked onto Dr. Lesavoy's calendar.

How is the 24.63× return calculated?

Return on ad spend divides the revenue the ads produced by what was spent on them:

  • Return on ad spend: $447,906 in booked surgeon's fees ÷ $18,185 in ad spend = 24.63×
  • Net of ad spend: $447,906 − $18,185 = $429,721

The revenue figure is booked surgeon's fees. For a facelift, that is the total price the patient pays, minus the anesthesia cost and minus the facility cost, for each surgery booked by a patient who came through the campaign. Net of ad spend subtracts the ad spend only. It is not a profit figure. How to measure return on ad spend explains what the calculation includes and leaves out.

What was the practice dealing with before?

Dr. Lesavoy practices in Beverly Hills. Before working with Pagerising, his summary on our site lists:

  • Burned by many companies
  • High competition in Beverly Hills market
  • Time wasted on non-serious "tire-kicker" patients
  • Promises with no measurable results

How does the Pagerising system work for a practice like this?

The system is the same for every surgeon. Meta ads on Facebook and Instagram target facelift-ready patients in the surgeon's market and run under the surgeon's brand. Patients who respond reach a landing page about the surgeon. A trained patient coordinator calls every lead, explains the procedure and typical price range, confirms the patient is ready, and collects the consultation fee before booking.

Pagerising works with one surgeon per market, so no other surgeon in the area runs the system. Market exclusivity explains what that covers.

What does Dr. Lesavoy say?

“There's only one thing that counts — the patient that physically walks into my door, sits down, and signs up.”
