There are 48 physician-owned nephrology practices in Arkansas, vetted against the NPPES NPI Registry. Hospital-employed, government, and academic positions are excluded.
Most PGY-Final-Year physicians sign their first nephrology contract in Arkansas without knowing what else is out there. This directory shows the 54 groups they were never told about.
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.
Once you can name three independent nephrology groups in your target city, every clause in your hospital contract becomes negotiable in a way it was not five minutes ago. The same non-compete, the same productivity formula, the same partnership track suddenly have something to be measured against. 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 hits, and the page is blank. A recruiter calls. A contract lands in your inbox with a 50-mile non-compete, an opaque productivity model, and a signing bonus you do not understand the strings on.
You can read the contract once you know what else is out there. This directory is what else is out there. 54 nephrology groups in Arkansas, physician-owned, cross-referenced against the NPPES NPI Registry. Start here.
There are 54 nephrology practices in Arkansas 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 12 cities across Arkansas.
I made this because the information doesn't exist in one place anywhere else. If you're a nephrology 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. 48 practices, 12 cities, all verified through the NPPES NPI Registry. Contact them directly.
Arkansas's physician-owned nephrology directory lists 48 practice locations across 12 cities.
None of the nephrology 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.
Practices span 12 cities including Bentonville, Conway, Fayetteville, and Fort Smith.
Browsing 53,000+ practices is not the work. Translating that into a contract you understand and a lawyer who will read it with you is the work. Here is how.
You are already here. 48 physician-owned nephrology groups in Arkansas, vetted against NPPES.
The Real Contract walks you through every clause that matters: non-compete, productivity, tail coverage, partnership track.
A vetted directory of physician-contract attorneys in Arkansas. The person on your side should be one who actually does this work.
Use it. Browse the Directory, get the newsletter, then talk to a physician-contract lawyer in Arkansas before you sign.
“You are not lost. You were never given the next page.”
Daniel Aragón, MD, MBAThere are 48 physician-owned nephrology 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 nephrology practices include Arkansas Renal Group (Little Rock) and Nephrology Specialists of Northwest Arkansas (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, but it is increasingly difficult. Roughly 80% of U.S. dialysis facilities are controlled by DaVita or Fresenius. Independent or joint-venture physician ownership still exists in Arkansas in some markets, particularly smaller communities where the national dialysis organizations have less penetration. CMS certification, ESRD Network participation, and CON requirements (if applicable in Arkansas) must all be navigated. Physician-owned dialysis revenue historically represented 30-50% of total nephrologist income in practice settings that had it.
| Physician-Owned | Hospital-Employed | Corporate / PE-Backed | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Who controls the practice | Physicians | Health system | Non-physician entity |
| Non-compete scope | Narrower, negotiable | Broad | Very broad |
| Partnership / buy-in path | Common | Rare | Rare |
| Call schedule flexibility | Higher | Variable | Lower |
| Productivity bonus upside | High | Moderate | Moderate |
| Included in this directory | Yes | No | Flagged |
