There are 3 physician-owned neurological surgery practices in Delaware, vetted against the NPPES NPI Registry. Hospital-employed, government, and academic positions are excluded.
Before you accept a hospital offer in Delaware, see how many physician-owned neurological surgery groups already exist. The answer is 4, and it changes everything you can ask for in negotiation.
Years one through fifteen had structure. A curriculum. A rotation block. An attending who knew what came next and told you. You trusted the structure because the structure had never failed.
Once you can name three independent neurological surgery groups in your target city, every clause in your hospital contract becomes negotiable in a way it was not five minutes ago. The same non-compete, the same productivity formula, the same partnership track suddenly have something to be measured against. 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:

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 Delaware, this gives you a filtered starting point that actually tells you who owns what.

Daniel Aragón, MD, MBAThere are 3 physician-owned neurological surgery private practices in Delaware, 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.
Delaware's physician-owned neurological surgery practices include Delaware Neurosurgical Group, P.A. - Newark (Newark, 8 physicians), Delaware Neurosurgical Group, P.A. - Wilmington (Wilmington), and Delaware Neurosurgical Group, P.A. - Dover (Dover).
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, in markets with sufficient case volume and favorable payer mix. Neurosurgery private practice requires a group of sufficient size to share call and operating costs, direct commercial payer contracts above Medicare rates, and ideally ASC or spine surgery center ownership to capture facility fees. Malpractice premiums in neurosurgery are among the highest in medicine ($100,000-$300,000+ annually), confirm whether the practice covers this cost or whether it is deducted from physician compensation before evaluating the net income.
