You’ve done the research. You’ve scrolled the Facebook groups, checked the med spa subreddits, asked in your provider network, and probably typed “has anyone used Growth99” into Google at least twice. You want real answers from real practices before you commit, and you deserve them. Below, 11 named aesthetic and dental practice owners share their actual experience with Growth99: the problems they had before, what they use the platform for now, and the outcomes they’ve seen.
Quick answer: Yes, Growth99 is actively used by over 1,000 aesthetic and elective wellness practices, with 2,300+ owners, providers, and staff on the platform. Named clients include ANEU Med Spa, Ruma Aesthetics, Rae Aesthetics and Wellness, Forever Weight Loss STL, Roots Recovery Tampa, Younger Aesthetics, Beauty Lab + Laser, Harris Dental, Smiles of Chandler, and GloDerma Med Spa. The most consistent themes across their testimonials: better results at lower total spend after consolidating vendors, reclaimed time for patient care, and a team that actually picks up the phone.
Key Takeaways
- Growth99 serves over 1,000 practices in the aesthetic and elective wellness vertical exclusively. That specialization shows up in every named-client testimonial.
- The most common “before” state across client stories: juggling 4 to 6 disconnected marketing tools and vendors, none of which fully understood the aesthetic industry.
- The most common “after” state: consolidated stack, one accountable partner, measurable improvements in SEO visibility, lead flow, and time reclaimed for patient care.
- Responsiveness and account support come up in almost every testimonial. Multiple clients note that Growth99 “picks up the phone” as a distinguishing factor.
- Long-term client tenure (multi-year relationships from Harris Dental and others) suggests the partnership holds up beyond the initial launch phase.
Yes, and Here’s Why the “Yes” Matters More Than the Number
The honest question buried inside “has anyone used Growth99” isn’t really whether anyone uses it. Of course people do; the platform serves over 1,000 practices. The real question is: are those practices happy, are they seeing results, and would they recommend it to someone in your shoes?
The most useful way to answer that isn’t with an aggregate rating or a review-site star count. It’s with detailed stories from real practices, named on the record, describing what they had before, what changed after, and what they’d tell you if you asked them directly. That’s what the rest of this post does.
Real Med Spa Stories: 5 Detailed Client Experiences
Rae Aesthetics and Wellness (Kaela Boe, Manager)
The problem: Rae Aesthetics had a visibility gap that any med spa owner will recognize. “My website wouldn’t show up in Google when I would search for services we provide,” Kaela Boe recalls. “Even if I was standing in my building and searching for medspas near me, my website wouldn’t show.” That’s the local search version of being invisible in your own market.
What Growth99 did: Local SEO management, on-page optimization, and Google Business Profile work targeted at the specific service and location terms Rae’s patients were searching.
The outcome: “Having a team regularly manage my SEO has given my business the presence it needed online to draw new patients to my website and increase bookings.”

Forever Weight Loss STL (Tom Bax, Owner)
The problem: Tom Bax had been through the generic-agency treadmill before finding Growth99. “I was paying a lot of money for little return, insight or results,” he says. That’s the state most med spa owners end up in after a couple of marketing vendor cycles: significant spend, no visibility into what’s actually working, and no accountability.
What Growth99 did: Consolidated Tom’s marketing under one specialized team, with clear communication and reporting on ad spend and SEO performance.
The outcome: “I have better communication, I spend less on ads and to Growth99 and get better results. SEO is much improved.” The critical detail here is “spend less” combined with “better results.” Most agency transitions promise both and deliver neither.

Roots Recovery Tampa (Vinny Lacerda, Co-Founder and COO)
The problem: Vinny describes the classic med spa tool sprawl that most owners eventually hit. “Before partnering with Growth99, we were juggling multiple disconnected tools and platforms, from trying to keep our website updated to managing leads manually and tracking reviews across different sites. It felt overwhelming and inefficient.”
What Growth99 did: Consolidated website management, lead tracking, and review management into a single integrated platform with one accountable team.
The outcome: “We’re honestly so happy with the service! Growth99 has made a huge difference in how we manage our online presence and connect with potential clients. Our website looks professional and on-brand, leads are organized and followed up with consistently, and our reviews are growing and reflecting the experience we work hard to provide.”

Younger Aesthetics (Shannon Younger, Founder and CEO)
The problem: Shannon runs into the ceiling almost every solo-provider med spa owner eventually hits: she’s the owner, operator, marketer, and injector, and there aren’t enough hours. Marketing is the thing that gets pushed to the end of the day (or the week, or the month) when the treatment room is full.
What Growth99 did: Took the marketing execution entirely off Shannon’s plate while translating her vision into the strategy and campaigns.
The outcome: “Growth99 took everything off my hands. I gave them a vision, and they helped it come to life without me having to lift a finger. Being in the owner, operator, marketer, and injector seat right now, time is the most valuable thing I have. They took so much time off my hands that I am watching it literally turn into new clients. It’s been invaluable.”
Shannon’s summary recommendation: “If you’re really looking to make a name for yourself and grow your practice, then I think it’s essential to partner with Growth99 to receive the highest quality and most efficient solutions for what they do.”

ANEU Med Spa (Alissa Wedige, Operations Supervisor)
The problem: ANEU wasn’t looking for a generic marketing vendor. They needed a partner that spoke med spa. Alissa Wedige puts it this way: “We wanted to work with a company that truly saw our vision and could bring it to life, someone who understood the Med Spa world and all its nuances.”
What Growth99 did: Delivered marketing execution and a CRM built for aesthetic practice workflows, not adapted from a generalist platform.
The outcome: “Working with Growth99 has been almost flawless!” On the CRM specifically: “We needed a CRM that actually worked for us, something powerful, easy to use, and built for the nerds in the back of the house. The platform delivers exactly that level of functionality.”

What Other Growth99 Clients Are Saying
Beyond the detailed case studies, a handful of shorter testimonials round out the picture from a range of practice types and tenure lengths.
Randa Anzaldua, Marketing Director at Ruma Aesthetics: “Since working with [Growth99], our SEO and keyword rankings have gone way up, and we consistently hear from new clients who found us on Google.”
Shelby Miller, Founder and CEO of Ruma Aesthetics: “I would highly recommend working with them. I’ve done business with similar companies and no one comes close to the responsiveness and attention to detail that Growth99 provides. Totally worth the investment. Five stars all day long.”
Heather Gay and Andrea Nord, Founders of Beauty Lab + Laser: “Growth99 is the best hands down for websites, SEO, social media, reviews, hosting, and support! They pick up the phone, respond to emails and help as a true partner.”
Brian Harris, DDS, Founder and CEO of Harris Dental (a Growth99 client for four years): “They have completely transformed the way that I market myself and my practice. They seem to always be on the cutting edge of things and know how to effectively drive traffic to my website. I have been super impressed with the whole operation.”
James Heaton, DDS, FAGD, Founder of Smiles of Chandler: “Partnering with Growth99 has been transformative for Smiles of Chandler. Their expertise in web development and digital marketing has significantly enhanced our online presence, leading to increased patient engagement and growth for our practice. I have loved how responsive they are when I need something and I love the aesthetic of my new website.”
Amy Lynn Planter, Founder and CEO of GloDerma Med Spa: “Growth99 has been amazing to work with! We are thrilled to have the opportunity to be a client.”
The Common Patterns Across Their Stories
Look across all 11 testimonials and the same themes surface again and again. If you’re evaluating Growth99 for your own practice, these are the specific things named clients keep coming back to.
The “before” state is almost always the same. Somewhere between 4 and 6 disconnected marketing tools, a generalist agency that treats a med spa the same as a plumber, and a founder pulled in too many directions to fix any of it. Tom Bax’s “paying a lot of money for little return” and Vinny Lacerda’s “juggling multiple disconnected tools” are two versions of the same story.
Industry specialization is the differentiator that shows up most often. ANEU wanted someone who “understood the Med Spa world.” Younger Aesthetics wanted the “highest quality solutions for what they do.” Multiple clients explicitly cite the difference between working with a vertical specialist and a generalist. This isn’t accidental. Growth99’s exclusive focus on aesthetic and elective wellness practices is a deliberate choice, and it’s what named clients notice most.
Responsiveness comes up almost universally. Beauty Lab + Laser: “They pick up the phone.” Shelby Miller: “responsiveness and attention to detail that Growth99 provides.” James Heaton: “how responsive they are when I need something.” For a category where most agencies are notoriously hard to reach, this pattern is striking.
Results are described in language that sounds like practice ownership, not marketing jargon. Kaela Boe describes “presence” and “bookings.” Tom Bax describes “results” and “less spend.” Shannon Younger describes “time turning into new clients.” These are the metrics practice owners actually care about, not vanity metrics dressed up in dashboard formatting.
What Growth99 Actually Does (Brief Overview)
For the reader who’s arrived at this post without much context on the platform itself: Growth99 is an integrated marketing platform and service partner built exclusively for aesthetic and elective wellness practices. The platform combines website development, local SEO management, paid media, marketing automation and messaging, CRM, review management, and AI-powered front desk response into a single system managed by one team.
The core promise: practice owners bring the clinical excellence, Growth99 owns the marketing machine that fills the chair. That division of labor is what shows up in every client story above.
Who Growth99 Is Built For
Growth99 clients span a wider range of practice types than most vendors serve:
- Solo-provider med spas building their first digital footprint
- Multi-location aesthetic groups scaling brand consistency across locations
- Cosmetic dental practices growing their aesthetic case flow
- Plastic surgery centers balancing surgical and non-surgical marketing
- Wellness practices, dermatology, and other elective wellness verticals
- Franchise and private-equity backed practice groups needing unified marketing across a portfolio
The common thread: practices that want their marketing owned by a partner that specializes in this vertical, not adapted from a generic template.
What to Expect If You Get Started
The onboarding pattern most clients describe: an initial consultation to understand your specific practice, market position, and growth goals; an implementation phase that includes any website work, CRM integration, review management setup, and marketing automation configuration; then an ongoing partnership with a dedicated account team and regular reporting on the metrics that matter (leads, bookings, SEO performance, review growth, revenue impact).
Timelines depend on the package and scope. Website launches typically go live in 30 to 60 days. SEO gains compound over 3 to 6 months. Paid media performance is usually optimized within the first 30 to 60 days. Long-term partnerships (like Harris Dental’s four-year tenure) suggest the value holds well beyond the initial launch phase.

What makes Growth99 different from other med spa marketing agencies?
Two things named clients cite most often: (1) exclusive focus on the aesthetic and elective wellness industry rather than serving many verticals, and (2) an integrated platform that replaces multiple point tools (website, CRM, review management, lead response, marketing automation) with one system managed by one team.

Key Insights
The most honest way to answer “has anyone used Growth99” is to let the named clients answer it themselves. Eleven of them just did. What they consistently describe isn’t a marketing tool they installed and hope pays off; it’s a partnership that took the marketing burden off their plates and turned it into something they can measure.
The patterns across their stories are the ones that matter most for someone in your shoes right now: the industry specialization shows up in the details, the responsiveness is real, and the outcomes are described in language a practice owner uses, not a marketing agency’s pitch deck.
You’re the clinical expert. You built your practice because you’re excellent at your craft. The work of running the marketing machine, holding the SEO ground, chasing every lead in under a minute, and integrating the tools that make a practice actually feel run instead of chaotic: that’s the work you shouldn’t be doing yourself. We bring the marketing expertise. You bring the clinical excellence. Together, that’s how the practices above are winning.
