There are 25 physician-owned otolaryngology practices in Arkansas, vetted against the NPPES NPI Registry. Hospital-employed, government, and academic positions are excluded.
31 independent otolaryngology practices across Arkansas, cross-referenced against NPPES, state medical boards, and each practice's own website. Negotiate from leverage instead of from gratitude.
For 15 years the path was visible. Pre-clinical, clinical, sub-I, Match, intern year, residency, fellowship. Every transition had a name and a date.
The difference between a physician who has read this directory and one who has not is the difference between negotiating from options and negotiating from desperation. Same skills, same training, same offer letter. Different leverage. The Real Contract course walks you through every clause that matters.
Hospital-employed, government-operated, and academic positions are excluded. These are not independent private practices:

Then PGY-Final arrives. Suddenly there is no syllabus, no advisor telling you which clause to push back on, no upperclassman who has done this before. There is only a contract and a clock.
You can read the contract once you know what else is out there. This directory is what else is out there. 31 otolaryngology groups in Arkansas, physician-owned, cross-referenced against the NPPES NPI Registry. Start here.
You're looking at 25 physician-owned otolaryngology practices in Arkansas. I sourced all of them from the NPPES NPI Registry and filtered out everything that doesn't meet the standard of independent physician ownership. Hospital systems, academic centers, staffing agencies, and corporate-acquired practices are not on this list. Each entry includes the practice address, phone, website, and NPI number. The coverage spans 9 cities statewide.
I made this because the information doesn't exist in one place anywhere else. If you're a otolaryngology physician thinking about Arkansas, you'd normally have to search job boards, call recruiters, and piece together which practices are actually physician-owned versus corporate-backed. This page does that work for you. 25 practices, 9 cities, all verified through the NPPES NPI Registry. Contact them directly.
Arkansas's physician-owned otolaryngology directory lists 25 practice locations across 9 cities. The largest group is Cory Vaughn, MD (2 locations).
None of the otolaryngology practices listed in Arkansas carry a PE-Backed or Corporate-Acquired flag. All listings in this directory are physician-owned independent practices verified through NPPES.

“You are not behind. You were never given the next page.”
Daniel Aragón, MD, MBAThere are 25 physician-owned otolaryngology private practices in Arkansas, verified against the NPPES NPI Registry. All are independently operated. Hospital-employed, government, corporate, and academic positions are excluded.
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.
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.
Arkansas's physician-owned otolaryngology practices include Arkansas Otolaryngology Center (Little Rock, 10 physicians) and Northwest Arkansas Ear, Nose & Throat Clinic (Fayetteville).
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.
Yes. ENT practices that employ licensed audiologists can dispense hearing aids directly to patients. In Arkansas, hearing aid dispensing requires either an audiologist holding an appropriate state license, or a hearing instrument specialist license. Most commercial insurers do not cover hearing aids, so revenue is collected directly from patients at time of fitting. Revenue distribution varies by practice, some allocate audiology revenue to the responsible audiologist's physician partner; others pool it as general practice overhead. This is worth clarifying before joining.
