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.
What this directory does is hand you the page you were missing. Every physician-owned plastic & reconstructive surg group in Delaware, in one place, so the first contract you sign is not the only contract you ever saw.
This page lists 12 plastic & reconstructive surg practices in Delaware that are physician-owned and independently operated. Every listing comes from the NPPES NPI Registry, cross-referenced with DataForSEO business data for addresses, phone numbers, and websites. I've filtered out hospital systems, corporate medical groups, PE-backed entities, and academic positions. The result is 12 practices across 4 cities where doctors, not administrators or investors, run the show.
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.
Delaware's physician-owned plastic & reconstructive surg directory lists 9 practice locations across 4 cities. The largest group is Benjamin Cooper, MD (3 locations).
None of the plastic & reconstructive surg practices listed in Delaware carry a PE-Backed or Corporate-Acquired flag. All listings in this directory are physician-owned independent practices verified through NPPES.

Daniel Aragón, MD, MBAThere are 9 physician-owned plastic & reconstructive surg 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.

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.
It depends on the procedures and state regulations. In Delaware, 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 Delaware-specific office-based surgery facility requirements with a healthcare attorney before opening a surgical suite.
