Physician-Owned Physical Medicine Practices in Arizona
Most PGY-Final-Year physicians sign their first physical medicine contract in Arizona without knowing what else is out there. This directory shows the 141 groups they were never told about.
Every year of training came with a script. Apply, interview, rotate, take the exam, advance. The next thing to do was never in question.
A physician who can see that there are 40 physician-owned physical medicine groups within 50 miles walks into a contract negotiation with completely different leverage than one who assumes the hospital is the only option. Non-compete radius, buy-in terms, tail coverage, all of it becomes more negotiable once you actually know what is around you. The Real Contract course walks you through every clause that matters.

About this directory and the Arizona physical medicine market
Every other milestone came with a checklist. This one did not.
Then training ends and the page goes blank. The first contract lands in your inbox with terms you have never seen, written by people who do this for a living against someone who has done it exactly never.
What this directory does is hand you the page you were missing. Every physician-owned physical medicine group in Arizona, in one place, so the first contract you sign is not the only contract you ever saw.
What other resources point to in Arizona
What you'll find here is a complete list of 81 physician-owned physical medicine practices in Arizona, verified against the NPPES NPI Registry. I started with the full federal database and worked backwards, removing every practice that doesn't qualify as independently operated. No hospital jobs. No PE-backed groups. No staffing agencies. Just 141 practices across 16 cities where physicians own the entity and control the clinical direction.
Here's why I built this. When I was looking at private practice opportunities, I couldn't find a single resource that separated physician-owned practices from everything else. Job boards don't do it. Recruiter databases don't do it. So I built it from the NPPES registry. Whether you're finishing training, thinking about a lateral move, or exploring partnership-track positions in Arizona, this gives you a filtered starting point that actually tells you who owns what.
The Arizona physical medicine market in detail
Arizona's physician-owned physical medicine directory lists 81 practice locations across 15 cities. The largest groups include MGA Crisis Intervention (5 locations), Brad Sorosky, MD (2 locations), and Crossroads, Inc. (2 locations).
None of the physical medicine practices listed in Arizona carry a PE-Backed or Corporate-Acquired flag. All listings in this directory are physician-owned independent practices verified through NPPES.
Practices span 15 cities including Avondale, Casa Grande, Chandler, and Flagstaff.

Frequently asked questions about physical medicine in Arizona
How many Physical Medicine private practices are in Arizona?
There are 81 physician-owned physical medicine 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.
Ancillary Services and Facility Ownership in Arizona PM&R Practice
Arizona's physician-owned physical medicine practices include Arizona Pain Specialists (Scottsdale, 15 physicians), Arizona Pain Doctors (Phoenix, 10 physicians), and Comprehensive Pain Management of Arizona (Tucson, 4 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.
Can PM&R physicians in Arizona own physical therapy practices where they refer patients?
Generally no. The Physician Self-Referral Law (Stark Law) prohibits physicians from referring Medicare patients to physical therapy or occupational therapy facilities in which the physician has a financial interest, unless a specific statutory exception applies. The in-office ancillary services exception may apply in limited circumstances if the PT services are directly supervised and provided in the same office where the physician practices. Consult a healthcare attorney before any PM&R practice acquires or refers to a PT facility with physician ownership.

Key Terms in Physician Contracts
Call Coverage
The obligation to provide after-hours or weekend coverage for patient emergencies. Contracts should specify call frequency (1 in 4, 1 in 6, etc.), whether call is compensated separately, and whether the physician takes call from home or in-house. Unrestricted call obligations are a common source of physician burnout.
Credentialing
The process by which hospitals and insurance companies verify a physician's education, training, board certification, licensure, and malpractice history before granting privileges or network participation. Credentialing typically takes 60 to 120 days and must be completed before a physician can bill patients under a new practice or facility.
PC (Professional Corporation)
A state-chartered corporation formed by licensed professionals. Physicians use PCs to own and operate their practices with liability separation. Many states require medical practices to be structured as PCs rather than standard LLCs or general partnerships.
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.
Electrodiagnostic tests that assess the electrical activity of muscles (EMG) and the speed of signal transmission along nerves (NCS). Common in PM&R and neurology practices for diagnosing neuropathy, radiculopathy, and myopathy. When performed in a physician-owned EMG lab, both professional and technical components are billed.
Radiofrequency Ablation (RFA)
A minimally invasive pain management procedure that uses heat generated by radio waves to disrupt nerve conduction and reduce chronic pain, commonly used for facet joint pain in the spine. When performed in a physician-owned procedure suite, the practice bills a facility fee in addition to the physician's professional fee.
