There are 23 physician-owned otolaryngology practices in Idaho, vetted against the NPPES NPI Registry. Hospital-employed, government, and academic positions are excluded.
34 otolaryngology groups in Idaho that physicians still own. No hospital systems, no private equity, no academic posts. Just the map nobody else built.
You spent 15 years on a path where the next move was always obvious. Someone handed you a syllabus, an algorithm, a board study schedule, a rotation block. You executed.
Once you can name three independent otolaryngology 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:

Then training ends and the page goes blank. The first contract lands in your inbox with terms you have never seen, written by people who do this for a living against someone who has done it exactly never.
The senior residents signed their first contracts without reading every clause. Not because they did not care, but because nobody had handed them a map of what else existed. So they took the first offer. This directory exists so you do not have to.
There are 34 physician-owned otolaryngology practices in Idaho, spread across 8 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 Idaho, 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.
Idaho's physician-owned otolaryngology directory lists 23 practice locations across 8 cities. The largest groups include Brian R. Thomas, MD (2 locations), Lauren C. Anderson, MD (2 locations), and Sinus Center Idaho (2 locations).
None of the otolaryngology practices listed in Idaho carry a PE-Backed or Corporate-Acquired flag. All listings in this directory are physician-owned independent practices verified through NPPES.
Practices span 8 cities including Blackfoot, Boise, Fruitland, and Garden City.

Daniel Aragón, MD, MBAThere are 23 physician-owned otolaryngology private practices in Idaho, 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.
Idaho's physician-owned otolaryngology practices include Idaho Ear Nose and Throat (Boise, founded 2020) and Eastern Idaho Ear Nose and Throat (Idaho Falls).
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. ENT practices that employ licensed audiologists can dispense hearing aids directly to patients. In Idaho, hearing aid dispensing requires either an audiologist holding an appropriate state license, or a hearing instrument specialist license. Most commercial insurers do not cover hearing aids, so revenue is collected directly from patients at time of fitting. Revenue distribution varies by practice, some allocate audiology revenue to the responsible audiologist's physician partner; others pool it as general practice overhead. This is worth clarifying before joining.
