There are 56 physician-owned neurological surgery practices in Arkansas, vetted against the NPPES NPI Registry. Hospital-employed, government, and academic positions are excluded.
Before you accept a hospital offer in Arkansas, see how many physician-owned neurological surgery groups already exist. The answer is 78, and it changes everything you can ask for in negotiation.
Pre-med was a checklist. Med school was a checklist. Residency interviews were a checklist. Boards were a checklist. Even the Match algorithm was a checklist someone else wrote.
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 you hit your last year of training and the structure ends. Someone wires you a stipend to come look at a hospital. Someone else sends an MSA with a non-compete you do not have time to read.
Before you compare salary numbers, see how many physician-owned groups actually exist in your specialty and state. Then negotiate from leverage instead of from gratitude.
There are 78 neurological surgery 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 11 cities across Arkansas.
The distinction between physician-owned and corporate-owned isn't just a label. It determines how a practice makes decisions about staffing, compensation, patient volume, and reinvestment. This directory exists because no other resource separates physician-owned neurological surgery practices in Arkansas from everything else. Every listing has an active NPI, is independently operated, and represents a real opportunity where a physician sets the clinical direction. Not an MBA. Not an investor. A doctor.
Arkansas's physician-owned neurological surgery directory lists 56 practice locations across 11 cities.
None of the neurological surgery 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 11 cities including Bentonville, Conway, Fayetteville, and Fort Smith.
Three steps. Skip any one of them and you are back to signing the first thing handed to you.

“You are not alone in not knowing. Nobody told you what came after the Match.”
Daniel Aragón, MD, MBAThere are 56 physician-owned neurological surgery 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 neurological surgery practices include Arkansas Neurosurgery Clinic (Little Rock) and Neurosurgery Associates 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, 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.
