Most pulmonary disease physicians sign their first contract without knowing how many other groups exist within driving distance.

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.
You can read the contract once you know what else is out there. This directory is what else is out there. 30 pulmonary disease groups in New Mexico, physician-owned, cross-referenced against the NPPES NPI Registry. Start here.
Here's what this page is: 30 pulmonary disease practices in New Mexico that are physician-owned. Not hospital jobs. Not corporate medical groups. Not locum postings. Every listing was pulled from the federal NPPES database and verified for active NPI status. I've supplemented each one with contact info, websites, and Google Maps links from DataForSEO. The practices span 5 cities across the state.
Most physicians looking for pulmonary disease opportunities in New Mexico start with a recruiter or a job board. Both of those sources mix hospital-employed roles with genuine private practice opportunities, and they rarely disclose ownership structure upfront. This page does one thing differently: it filters for physician ownership using the federal NPPES registry. That's it. The result is 22 practices you can contact directly, without a middleman deciding what you're allowed to see.
New Mexico's physician-owned pulmonary disease directory lists 22 practice locations across 5 cities. The largest groups are Dr Ali Yassine, MD | Pulmonologist | Presbyterian Pulmonology (2 locations) and Dr Chidozie Agu, MD | Pulmonologist | Presbyterian Pulmonology (2 locations).
None of the pulmonary disease practices listed in New Mexico 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 22 physician-owned pulmonary disease private practices in New Mexico, 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.
New Mexico's only physician-owned pulmonary disease practice in this directory is New Mexico Pulmonary Associates in Albuquerque.
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 pulmonology practice owns its PFT equipment and employs its own respiratory therapist to perform testing, the practice bills and collects the technical component of PFT studies (spirometry, DLCO, plethysmography) separately from the physician's interpretation fee. This technical component revenue, which would otherwise go to a hospital if testing were referred out, can add $100,000-$300,000+ annually to a high-volume pulmonology practice's revenue. Ask for the annual PFT testing volume and what portion of technical component revenue is distributed to physician-owners.
