About this directory and the Connecticut plastic & reconstructive surg market
Every other milestone came with a checklist. This one did not.
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.
What this directory does is hand you the page you were missing. Every physician-owned plastic & reconstructive surg group in Connecticut, in one place, so the first contract you sign is not the only contract you ever saw.
What other resources point to in Connecticut
Here's what this page is: 76 plastic & reconstructive surg 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 25 cities across the state.
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 plastic & reconstructive surg practices in Connecticut 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.

Frequently asked questions about plastic & reconstructive surg in Connecticut
How many Plastic & Reconstructive Surg private practices are in Connecticut?
There are 54 physician-owned plastic & reconstructive surg private practices in Connecticut, 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.
In-Office Surgical Suite Ownership in Connecticut Plastic Surgery
Connecticut's physician-owned plastic & reconstructive surg practices include Connecticut Plastic Surgery Associates (Hartford), Greenwich Plastic Surgery (Greenwich), and Yale Medicine Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery (New Haven).
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.
Do plastic surgeons in Connecticut need a licensed ASC to perform cosmetic procedures in an in-office suite?
It depends on the procedures and state regulations. In Connecticut, in-office surgical suites performing procedures under general anesthesia or deep sedation typically require state licensure as an office-based surgical facility. Procedures under local anesthesia only (with or without oral sedation) may have lighter oversight requirements. CMS certification is required only if the facility bills Medicare, cash-pay cosmetic practices may not need Medicare certification. Confirm Connecticut-specific office-based surgery facility requirements with a healthcare attorney before opening a surgical suite.

Key Terms in Physician Contracts
Tail Insurance (Extended Reporting Endorsement)
A malpractice coverage add-on that pays for claims filed after a claims-made policy ends, for incidents that occurred while the policy was active. Tail premiums typically run 1.5 to 2 times the annual malpractice premium and are paid as a one-time lump sum at departure. Occurrence-based policies do not require a tail.
RVU (Relative Value Unit)
A standardized measure of physician productivity used by Medicare and most commercial payers to determine reimbursement. Each CPT code carries a work RVU, practice expense RVU, and malpractice RVU. Many physician contracts tie compensation to RVU production thresholds, with bonuses above a defined baseline.
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.
In-Office Surgical Suite
A procedure room or fully equipped operating room within a physician's office building used to perform surgeries under local or general anesthesia. Subject to state office-based surgery regulations and accreditation requirements (AAAHC, AAASF, or JCAHO). May not require CMS certification if exclusively serving cash-pay patients.
Cosmetic vs. Reconstructive Surgery
Cosmetic surgery is performed to improve appearance in a patient without a medical condition and is not covered by insurance, patients pay directly. Reconstructive surgery corrects defects caused by trauma, disease, or birth defect and is covered by insurance. The mix of cosmetic vs. reconstructive work in a practice determines its cash-pay revenue fraction.
