There are 54 physician-owned nephrology practices in Connecticut, vetted against the NPPES NPI Registry. Hospital-employed, government, and academic positions are excluded.
58 independent nephrology practices across Connecticut, 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.
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:
Hospital systems
Academic programs
Federal facilities
Tribal health programs

Then graduation approaches and the algorithm stops. A recruiter calls. The contract has a productivity formula you cannot solve for, a non-compete you cannot evaluate, and a tail-coverage clause nobody explained.
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.
Here's what this page is: 58 nephrology practices in Connecticut that are physician-owned. Not hospital jobs. Not corporate medical groups. Not locum postings. Every listing was pulled from the federal NPPES database and verified for active NPI status. I've supplemented each one with contact info, websites, and Google Maps links from DataForSEO. The practices span 23 cities across the state.
If you're evaluating a move to private practice in Connecticut, this is a starting point you won't find on a job board. Most boards mix employed positions with ownership opportunities, and they almost never tell you who actually owns the practice. Recruiters aren't much better. This page filters for physician ownership specifically, so you can focus on practices where clinical autonomy isn't just a talking point in an interview. It's built into the ownership structure.
Connecticut's physician-owned nephrology directory lists 54 practice locations across 21 cities. The largest groups include Bayode Afolalu, MD (3 locations), Peter Chuang, MD (3 locations), and Dialysis Clinic, Inc. (2 locations).
None of the nephrology practices listed in Connecticut carry a PE-Backed or Corporate-Acquired flag. All listings in this directory are physician-owned independent practices verified through NPPES.
Practices span 21 cities including Avon, Branford, Cos Cob, and Derby.

“Your seniors did not figure this out. They signed without reading.”
Daniel Aragón, MD, MBAThere are 54 physician-owned nephrology private practices in Connecticut, 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.
Connecticut's physician-owned nephrology practices include Connecticut Kidney Specialists (Hartford), Yale Medicine Nephrology (New Haven), and Starling Physicians Nephrology (New Britain).
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 Connecticut 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 Connecticut) 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 |
