There are 91 physician-owned general surgery practices in Maine, vetted against the NPPES NPI Registry. Hospital-employed, government, and academic positions are excluded.
127 general surgery groups in Maine that physicians still own. No hospital systems, no private equity, no academic posts. Just the map nobody else built.
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.
A physician who can see that there are 40 physician-owned general surgery groups within 50 miles walks into a contract negotiation with completely different leverage than one who assumes the hospital is the only option. Non-compete radius, buy-in terms, tail coverage, all of it becomes more negotiable once you actually know what is around you. 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 graduation approaches and the algorithm stops. A recruiter calls. The contract has a productivity formula you cannot solve for, a non-compete you cannot evaluate, and a tail-coverage clause nobody explained.
You can read the contract once you know what else is out there. This directory is what else is out there. 127 general surgery groups in Maine, physician-owned, cross-referenced against the NPPES NPI Registry. Start here.
You're looking at 91 physician-owned general surgery practices in Maine. I sourced all of them from the NPPES NPI Registry and filtered out everything that doesn't meet the standard of independent physician ownership. Hospital systems, academic centers, staffing agencies, and corporate-acquired practices are not on this list. Each entry includes the practice address, phone, website, and NPI number. The coverage spans 22 cities statewide.
You won't find this list anywhere else. National job boards aggregate whatever employers pay to post, regardless of ownership structure. This directory starts from the federal NPPES database and filters down to practices where physicians own the entity. That distinction matters because it determines everything: how you're compensated, how decisions get made, whether you'll ever have a real equity stake. Use it to identify practices worth reaching out to directly.
Maine's physician-owned general surgery directory lists 91 practice locations across 18 cities. The largest groups include Northern Light Surgery (4 locations), Northern Light Orthopedics (3 locations), and Jillian K Smith, MD (2 locations).
None of the general surgery practices listed in Maine carry a PE-Backed or Corporate-Acquired flag. All listings in this directory are physician-owned independent practices verified through NPPES.
Practices span 18 cities including Auburn, Bangor, Biddeford, and Brewer.
Browsing 53,000+ practices is not the work. Translating that into a contract you understand and a lawyer who will read it with you is the work. Here is how.
You are already here. 91 physician-owned general surgery groups in Maine, 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 Maine. The person on your side should be one who actually does this work.

“You are not behind. The page after training was never written down.”
Daniel Aragón, MD, MBAThere are 91 physician-owned general surgery private practices in Maine, 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.
Maine doesn't have physician-owned independent general surgery practices in this directory. Most general surgery positions are hospital-employed or part of larger health systems.
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.
Private general surgery groups in Maine typically share call equally among partners. With 4-6 partners, that often means 1 in 4 to 1 in 6 nights. Hospital-employed surgeons may have heavier call obligations with less schedule flexibility. The key variables are group size, whether NP/PA providers take first call, how emergency cases are compensated, and whether weekend trauma call is distributed separately from weeknight call.
| Physician-Owned | Hospital-Employed | Corporate / PE-Backed | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Who controls the practice | Physicians | Health system | Non-physician entity |
| Non-compete scope | Narrower, negotiable | Broad | Very broad |
| Partnership / buy-in path | Common | Rare | Rare |
| Call schedule flexibility | Higher | Variable | Lower |
| Productivity bonus upside | High | Moderate | Moderate |
| Included in this directory | Yes | No | Flagged |
