There are 16 physician-owned vascular surgery 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 vascular surgery contract in Arkansas without knowing what else is out there. This directory shows the 25 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.
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 your final year starts and the path stops drawing itself. Recruiters start emailing. Contracts show up before you have asked anyone what a contract is supposed to look like.
The senior residents signed their first contracts without reading every clause. Not because they did not care, but because nobody had handed them a map of what else existed. So they took the first offer. This directory exists so you do not have to.
I built this directory by starting with the NPPES NPI Registry, the federal database where every medical practice in the country has to register. From there, I filtered Arkansas's vascular surgery listings down to practices that are genuinely physician-owned. That means no hospital-employed roles, no academic faculty positions, no corporate-acquired clinics. What you're looking at is 25 independent vascular surgery practices across 5 cities in Arkansas.
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 Arkansas, this gives you a filtered starting point that actually tells you who owns what.
Arkansas's physician-owned vascular surgery directory lists 16 practice locations across 5 cities.
None of the vascular 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 are located in Conway, Hot Springs, Jonesboro, Little Rock, and Rogers.
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. 16 physician-owned vascular surgery 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.
Not because they did not care. Because nobody handed them the map. Now there is one.
“You are not behind. The page after training was never written down.”
Daniel Aragón, MD, MBAThere are 16 physician-owned vascular 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 vascular surgery practices include Arkansas Vascular & Vein Specialists, PLLC (Little Rock), Arkansas Vascular Surgery, PLLC (Little Rock, founded 1997), and Arkansas Heart Hospital - Vein and Vascular Institute (Little Rock, founded 1997, 5 physicians)...
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.
When a vascular surgery practice owns its vascular ultrasound equipment and employs its own vascular technologist, the practice bills and collects the technical component of duplex ultrasound studies (carotid, lower extremity arterial/venous, ABI, AAA) separately from the physician's interpretation. The technical component is typically 2-3x the interpretation fee. For a surgeon generating 10 studies per week, that adds substantial annual revenue over and above professional fee income. IAC accreditation (InterSocietal Accreditation Commission) is required by most payers for technical component billing of vascular ultrasound.
