The SoftWave Centers of Excellence is a separate marketing initiative and is not a part of SoftWaveTRT.com. Every provider is listed for free on SoftWaveTRT.com. SoftWaveClinics.com is a paid subscription and is not run by the corporate team at SoftWave. This strategy was, however, born out of SoftWave’s leadership team striving to support the SoftWave clinics across America by driving hundreds of new patients every month. As clinics continue to join this collaborative marketing effort, SoftWave is proud to see the continued exponential growth and success of clinics nationwide.
