I’ve owned more than 50 practices. Let’s grow yours.
Don’t take advice from someone who hasn’t done it.
I built two dental groups without private equity and sold both. Now I coach practice owners one on one, with a custom plan built for their practice.
You know the problems. I’ve already solved them.
Your schedule is spotty and the margins are thin. The practice still depends on you in the chair. Hiring feels like a gamble, growth feels harder than it should, and you’re not sure when to expand or how to plan your exit. I’ve been exactly where you are, more than 50 times over. I built two dental groups without private equity, sold both, and solved every one of these problems with my own money on the line. Now I’ll help you solve them in your practice.
Book a CallBusy, not profitable?
High production. Thin margins. Tight cash flow.
Trapped in the chair?
The practice still depends on your chairside work.
Missing systems?
Growth gets harder without clear processes.
Hiring challenges?
Finding the right people for the right seats.
Ready to expand?
Unclear timing, funding, or next steps.
No exit plan?
Unsure how to prepare for a sale or retirement.
No two practices are alike. Your plan shouldn’t be either.
When you work with Forward, you work with me. Not a junior consultant. Not a coach reading from someone else’s script. Me.
Most dental consultants show up with a pre-planned agenda. Same modules, same checklists, same order, for every practice they sign. Some even put a trademark on it. One framework, every client run through it, cycle after cycle. Your practice gets bent to fit their system. But your practice isn’t every practice. Your market, your team, your payer mix, your numbers, and your goals belong to you alone.
I work the other way around. I build a custom plan to fit your practice, give you the outline to follow, and we work it together. I can do that because I’ve owned every type of practice, from $1 million offices to $10 million operations. Whatever you’re facing, I’ve already faced it with my own money on the line.
You don’t learn to build a practice from someone who has never built one.
Where is your practice right now?
Every owner I work with is in one of three stages. Your custom plan changes with the stage, and with the practice.

I’ve built what you’re trying to build.
I’m Richard Evangelista, a dentist with more than 20 years of experience in the dental business. Most people teaching practice management have owned one practice, or none. I’ve owned more than 50 dental practices, ranging from $1 million offices to $10 million operations. I self-funded two dental groups, built them without private equity, and successfully sold both. I’ve owned a dental lab, taught at two dental schools, and coached or consulted with more than 500 dental providers.
I’m not teaching from a textbook or a seminar slide. Every strategy I share is one I’ve used with my own money on the line. When you work with me, you get a custom plan from someone who has already built what you’re trying to build, one on one.
