You can read the contract once you know what else is out there. This directory is what else is out there. 134 neurological surgery groups in Arizona, physician-owned, cross-referenced against the NPPES NPI Registry. Start here.
What other resources point to in Arizona
There are 134 neurological surgery practices in Arizona on this page, and every single one is physician-owned. I built the list from the NPPES NPI Registry, then layered on business data from DataForSEO for practice websites, phone numbers, and descriptions. Hospital-system practices, government clinics, academic positions, and corporate-acquired groups didn't make the cut. The listings cover 9 cities across Arizona.
What makes this useful is specificity. Instead of scrolling through a job board where hospital positions, locum postings, and real private practice opportunities all look the same, you get a focused list of physician-owned neurological surgery practices in Arizona. Every one has been verified through the federal NPI registry. Contact information and websites are included so you can start your research without a recruiter standing between you and the practice.
The Arizona neurological surgery market in detail

Frequently asked questions about neurological surgery in Arizona
How many Neurological Surgery private practices are in Arizona?
There are 93 physician-owned neurological surgery private practices in Arizona, verified against the NPPES NPI Registry. All are independently operated. Hospital-employed, government, corporate, and academic positions are excluded.
What does physician-owned mean?
A physician-owned practice is one where licensed physicians hold controlling ownership of the business entity. This is distinct from hospital employment, corporate medical groups, or private equity-backed practices where non-physician entities control the business.
What does the Corporate-Acquired or MSO-Affiliated flag mean?
The Corporate-Acquired flag means the practice was historically physician-owned but has since been acquired by a corporate entity such as Optum. The MSO-Affiliated flag means the practice uses a Management Services Organization for billing and administration while physicians retain practice-level ownership.
Private Practice Viability for Neurosurgeons in Arizona
Arizona's physician-owned neurological surgery practices include Barrow Brain and Spine (Phoenix, 30 physicians), Arizona Brain and Spine Center (Phoenix, 6 physicians), Phoenix Neurosurgery (Phoenix, 4 physicians), and Center for Neurosciences Tucson (Tucson, 25 physicians).
What is an NPPES-verified practice?
NPPES is the National Plan and Provider Enumeration System, a federal database maintained by CMS. Every practice in this directory has an active NPI record in NPPES, confirming it is a registered U.S. medical practice.
Is neurosurgery private practice financially viable in Arizona?
Yes, in markets with sufficient case volume and favorable payer mix. Neurosurgery private practice requires a group of sufficient size to share call and operating costs, direct commercial payer contracts above Medicare rates, and ideally ASC or spine surgery center ownership to capture facility fees. Malpractice premiums in neurosurgery are among the highest in medicine ($100,000-$300,000+ annually), confirm whether the practice covers this cost or whether it is deducted from physician compensation before evaluating the net income.

Key Terms in Physician Contracts
PLLC (Professional Limited Liability Company)
A hybrid entity combining LLC flexibility with professional licensing requirements. PLLCs are common for physician-owned practices in states that permit them. They offer pass-through taxation and personal liability protection for non-malpractice claims.
MSO (Management Services Organization)
A non-physician entity that provides administrative infrastructure (billing, coding, EHR support, payer contracting) to physician-owned practices. MSO arrangements let physicians retain clinical and practice ownership while outsourcing back-office operations. Private equity commonly uses MSO structures to influence practice operations without technically owning the medical entity.
NPI (National Provider Identifier)
A unique 10-digit number assigned to every U.S. healthcare provider and organization by CMS. Individual physicians receive a Type 1 NPI; practice entities receive a Type 2 NPI. The NPI is used across all payers for billing and credentialing.
Restrictive Covenant
Any contractual clause that limits a physician's professional activities after leaving an employer. Non-compete clauses are the most common restrictive covenant, but the category also includes non-solicitation clauses (prohibiting contact with former patients or staff) and non-disparagement clauses.
Fair Market Value
The price at which a willing buyer and willing seller would agree to transact, with both parties having reasonable knowledge of the relevant facts. Physician compensation must meet fair market value to comply with federal anti-kickback and Stark Law requirements. Independent valuations are used for buy-in pricing, compensation benchmarking, and practice sales.
Neurosurgery Malpractice Premium
Malpractice insurance premiums for neurosurgeons are among the highest in medicine due to the severity of potential adverse outcomes. Annual premiums typically range from $100,000 to $300,000+ depending on state, subspecialty focus, and claims history. Spine surgery carries higher premiums than cranial surgery in most states.
Spine Surgery ASC
An ambulatory surgery center specializing in spine procedures (microdiscectomy, laminectomy, fusion). Physician ownership of a spine ASC generates facility fees for procedures that would otherwise generate facility revenue for the hospital. Among the highest-revenue ASC types when case mix includes commercial payers.
