“There's no better feeling than seeing one of our healthcare providers start using AI to systematize their practice, and realize how much more meaning they can bring into the rest of their life.”
Where healthcare practice owners learn to grow with AI.
HeroForge is a private community for physicians, dentists, veterinarians, and other practice owners who are exploring how AI and technology can transform their practices. Founded by a physician and AI entrepreneur, it's where forward-thinking practitioners share what's actually working.
AI-powered growth across five areas that matter most
Starting a Practice
Using AI tools to build smarter from day one — from business planning and market analysis to patient acquisition and automated workflows.
Scaling a Practice
AI-powered systems for growth — automating operations, optimizing scheduling, leveraging data to make better decisions as you expand.
Improving a Practice
AI for operations and patient experience — streamlining admin, enhancing communication, and boosting profitability in an established practice.
Recovering from Burnout
Using technology to reclaim your time — automating the work that drains you so you can focus on the work that fulfills you.
Investing & Building Wealth
AI ventures, exits, and financial strategy — how practice owners are building wealth beyond clinical income in the age of AI.

Meet Dr. Mark Allen
Dr. Mark Allen
Mark is a UCLA-trained physician with a Columbia applied physics background who has spent his career at the intersection of medicine and technology. He has founded, scaled, and exited multiple companies — including one acquired by a NASDAQ-listed company — and has been featured in Forbes, The New York Times, NPR, and TEDx.
He started HeroForge because he saw that AI was about to change everything for healthcare practice owners, and the best way to navigate that shift is alongside peers who are figuring it out together.
