From your first MCAT prep book to your last in-training exam, the next step was always pre-written. Someone handed you the syllabus. You showed up. You did the work.
The difference between a physician who has read this directory and one who has not is the difference between negotiating from options and negotiating from desperation. Same skills, same training, same offer letter. Different leverage. The Real Contract course walks you through every clause that matters.

Then your final year starts and the path stops drawing itself. Recruiters start emailing. Contracts show up before you have asked anyone what a contract is supposed to look like.
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.
This page lists 46 plastic & reconstructive surg practices in Kentucky 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 46 practices across 11 cities where doctors, not administrators or investors, run the show.
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 Kentucky 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.
Kentucky's physician-owned plastic & reconstructive surg directory lists 30 practice locations across 11 cities.
None of the plastic & reconstructive surg practices listed in Kentucky carry a PE-Backed or Corporate-Acquired flag. All listings in this directory are physician-owned independent practices verified through NPPES.
Practices span 11 cities including Bowling Green, Crestview Hills, Edgewood, and Elizabethtown.

Daniel Aragón, MD, MBAThere are 30 physician-owned plastic & reconstructive surg private practices in Kentucky, 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.
Kentucky's physician-owned plastic & reconstructive surg practices include CaloAesthetics Plastic Surgery (Louisville), Lexington Plastic Surgeons (Lexington-Fayette), and Bluegrass Plastic Surgery (Lexington-Fayette).
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 Kentucky, 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 Kentucky-specific office-based surgery facility requirements with a healthcare attorney before opening a surgical suite.

| Partnership / buy-in path | Common | Rare | Rare |
| Call schedule flexibility | Higher | Variable | Lower |
