What other resources point to in Delaware
There are 9 physician-owned nephrology practices in Delaware, spread across 6 cities. I pulled every one of them from the NPPES NPI Registry, which is the federal database that CMS maintains for active providers. Then I filtered out anything that isn't independently operated. Hospital-employed positions, academic faculty roles, locum agencies, government clinics, they're all excluded. What's left is a clean list of practices where physicians hold actual ownership and make their own clinical decisions.
If you're evaluating a move to private practice in Delaware, 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.
