Physician-Owned Ophthalmology Practices in Colorado
133 independent ophthalmology practices across Colorado, cross-referenced against NPPES, state medical boards, and each practice's own website. Negotiate from leverage instead of from gratitude.
MCAT. STEPs. Match. ABIM. Each one was a milestone someone else designed. You hit them in order, on time, and the path kept going.
A physician who can see that there are 40 physician-owned ophthalmology 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.
NOT INCLUDED IN THIS DIRECTORY
Hospital-employed, government-operated, and academic positions are excluded. These are not independent private practices:

About this directory and the Colorado ophthalmology market
PGY-Final-Year is the first time the path is not drawn for you.
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.
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.
What other resources point to in Colorado
You're looking at 125 physician-owned ophthalmology practices in Colorado. 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 22 cities statewide.
The reason this matters is that job boards don't distinguish between an independent ophthalmology practice and a corporate medical group. They list them side by side, identical formatting, identical apply buttons. But the compensation model, the call schedule, the equity path, and the long-term upside are completely different depending on who owns the practice. This page separates the two. You can work through the list, contact practices directly, and skip the recruiter entirely.

Frequently asked questions about ophthalmology in Colorado
How many Ophthalmology private practices are in Colorado?
There are 125 physician-owned ophthalmology private practices in Colorado, 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.
ASC Ownership for Ophthalmologists in Colorado
Colorado has 13 physician-owned ophthalmology practices across 10 cities. The larger groups include Cherry Creek Eye Physicians and Surgeons, P.C. (Denver), Colorado Eye Consultants (Lakewood), and Boulder Eye Surgeons (Boulder). Eye Center of Northern Colorado - Fort Collins (Pr...
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.
How much additional income does ASC ownership generate for ophthalmologists in Colorado?
An ophthalmologist performing cataract surgery at a physician-owned ASC in Colorado captures the facility fee (roughly $1,000-$2,500 per case under commercial insurance) in addition to the professional fee. A surgeon doing 300 cataract cases per year at a group-owned ASC with a 30% ownership share could receive $100,000-$200,000+ in additional annual ASC distributions, depending on the payer mix and overhead. Request 3 years of ASC financials before committing to any buy-in.

Key Terms in Physician Contracts
Compensation Formula
The contractual method used to calculate physician pay. Common models include guaranteed salary, eat-what-you-kill (collections-based), salary plus production bonus (RVU or collections above a threshold), and equal-share partnership distributions. The formula directly affects income stability, upside potential, and alignment with practice goals.
Partnership Buy-In
The purchase of an ownership stake in a physician practice entity, typically offered after an associate track of 2 to 5 years. The buy-in price is calculated using business valuation, a multiple of earnings, or a formula tied to practice receivables. True equity buy-ins include voting rights and profit distributions.
Without-Cause Termination
A contract clause that allows either party to end the employment agreement without stating a reason, typically with 60 to 120 days written notice. The notice period, post-termination obligations (non-compete activation, tail insurance responsibility), and severance terms are negotiable. Shorter notice periods favor the employer.
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.
Cataract Surgery Facility Fee
The charge billed by the ambulatory surgery center for the facility resources used during cataract surgery (OR time, nursing, equipment, supplies). Separate from the surgeon's professional fee. Under Medicare, the ASC facility fee for cataract surgery is approximately $900-$1,100; commercial rates are typically higher.
Premium IOL
A premium intraocular lens (toric, multifocal, extended depth of focus) implanted during cataract surgery to correct astigmatism or presbyopia. Medicare and most insurers cover only the standard monofocal lens; patients pay an out-of-pocket upgrade fee for premium IOLs. This cash-pay component adds significant revenue in ophthalmology private practice.
