LocalMed

What LocalMed does

LocalMed, founded in 2012 and headquartered in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, operated as an online dental appointment scheduling platform that allowed patients to find and book real-time dental appointments via the web, 24/7. The product was subsequently acquired by Dental Intelligence, Inc. and rebranded as Dental Intelligence Online Scheduling, becoming the scheduling module within Dental Intelligence's broader all-in-one practice performance platform. The platform's core technology is a real-time scheduling engine with deep integration into the major dental practice management systems — Open Dental, Eaglesoft, Dentrix, Dentrix Enterprise, Dentrix Ascend, and Fuse — and a consumer-facing Reserve with Google capability enabling bookings directly from Google Search and Maps. Supporting features include Automated Quick-Fill Scheduling for last-minute openings, reservation deposits to reduce cancellations, real-time ROI tracking on patient acquisition sources, and smart availability rules for booking control.

The business operates on a SaaS subscription model with annual billing cycles and quote-based pricing that is not publicly disclosed. Go-to-market is primarily a direct sales motion with a demo-led funnel and a $50 Amazon gift card incentive, targeting dental practices segmented by size (1-2, 3-9, and 10+ locations). Distribution is reinforced through embedded PMS integrations and a multi-channel marketing program spanning content marketing, webinars, podcasts, and organic social across Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, and TikTok. Customer evidence is limited to a single SMB case study (Q Dental), and no revenue, headcount trend, or customer count is publicly disclosed. The company has raised $560,000 in a single 2012 seed round, with Daniel Gilbert listed as co-founder; post-acquisition ownership sits with Dental Intelligence, Inc.
