How can we help you grow today?

Meet Rick Garofolo


Exceptional Experience and Expertise


Rick founded The Dental Practice Mechanics as the company’s chief executive officer/president in 2001 after he married a dentist and saw the real need for business management education and assistance in practice growth in general. The Dental Practice Mechanics have a setup that’s different compared to our competitors. Rick takes pride in having a close-knit family of Mechanics who work together as full-time, in-house employees. No overseas or work from home outsourcing here!

Over the years at The Dental Practice Mechanics, Rick has contributed to the business of dentistry through proper accounting techniques, recall and follow up system creation, proper treatment plan presentation, and more than 20 other systems. Knowing what is expected and required of you will increase bottom line profits, create a safe environment for staff and patients, and help dentists sleep well at night.

YEARS OF UNIQUE EXPERIENCE

YOU CAN TRUST

Rick’s unique experience comes from a combination of years of successful business ownership with advertising agencies, PR firms, publishing companies, multiple magazines, restaurants, bakeries, a chain of barbershops, and commercial and residential real estate investments coupled with his years of experience in the dental industry as a consultant and dental business owner.

Rick’s realistic, informative, and inspiring speaking presentations are in demand nationally and internationally at seminars, dental meetings, and conferences. Rick’s presentations concentrate not just on the requirements, but on how they actually tie into everyday life in dental offices. He has also published hundreds of articles in industry publications nationally.

Working as a practice management and OSHA/ HIPAA compliance consultant for dentists, Rick develops site-specific plans and business systems for dental offices around the country, including state-specific plans. This allows them to concentrate on working ON their business instead of working IN it, creating increased opportunities for profit and allowing dentists and practice owners to sleep well.

When he does get to take some time off from his many business ventures and successes, Rick is usually spending time with his son, golfing, and traveling. This self-proclaimed extrovert who’s driven and knows how to hustle is also the Past President of the Small Business Chamber of Commerce, a member of the Rotary Club, and a volunteer for suicide prevention.
