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.
You can read the contract once you know what else is out there. This directory is what else is out there. 37 vascular surgery groups in Louisiana, physician-owned, cross-referenced against the NPPES NPI Registry. Start here.
I built this directory by starting with the NPPES NPI Registry, the federal database where every medical practice in the country has to register. From there, I filtered Louisiana's vascular surgery listings down to practices that are genuinely physician-owned. That means no hospital-employed roles, no academic faculty positions, no corporate-acquired clinics. What you're looking at is 37 independent vascular surgery practices across 6 cities in Louisiana.
What makes this useful is specificity. Instead of scrolling through a job board where hospital positions, locum postings, and real private practice opportunities all look the same, you get a focused list of physician-owned vascular surgery practices in Louisiana. Every one has been verified through the federal NPI registry. Contact information and websites are included so you can start your research without a recruiter standing between you and the practice.
Louisiana's physician-owned vascular surgery directory lists 23 practice locations across 6 cities.
None of the vascular surgery practices listed in Louisiana carry a PE-Backed or Corporate-Acquired flag. All listings in this directory are physician-owned independent practices verified through NPPES.
Practices are located in Baton Rouge, Lafayette, Marrero, Metairie, New Orleans, and Shreveport.
See what is out there. Read the contract. Get a physician-specific attorney to sign off. In that order.
You are already here. 23 physician-owned vascular surgery groups in Louisiana, vetted against NPPES.
The Real Contract walks you through every clause that matters: non-compete, productivity, tail coverage, partnership track.
A vetted directory of physician-contract attorneys in Louisiana. The person on your side should be one who actually does this work.
Get one of your own. Start by knowing what else exists in Louisiana. The Directory is the first piece. The newsletter and the course are the next two.
“The map did not run out for you. It ran out for everyone in your year.”
Daniel Aragón, MD, MBAThere are 23 physician-owned vascular surgery private practices in Louisiana, 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.
Louisiana's physician-owned vascular surgery practices include Cardiovascular Institute of the South (CIS) (Houma, founded 1983, 63 physicians), CVT Surgical Center (Baton Rouge, founded 1957, 5 physicians), Vascular Clinic of Baton Rouge (Baton Rouge), and Acadiana Vascular Clin...
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.
When a vascular surgery practice owns its vascular ultrasound equipment and employs its own vascular technologist, the practice bills and collects the technical component of duplex ultrasound studies (carotid, lower extremity arterial/venous, ABI, AAA) separately from the physician's interpretation. The technical component is typically 2-3x the interpretation fee. For a surgeon generating 10 studies per week, that adds substantial annual revenue over and above professional fee income. IAC accreditation (InterSocietal Accreditation Commission) is required by most payers for technical component billing of vascular ultrasound.
