There are 32 physician-owned infectious disease practices in North Carolina, vetted against the NPPES NPI Registry. Hospital-employed, government, and academic positions are excluded.
Before you accept a hospital offer in North Carolina, see how many physician-owned infectious disease groups already exist. The answer is 50, and it changes everything you can ask for in negotiation.
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.
If a recruiter tells you the hospital is the only viable infectious disease employer within driving distance, you should be able to name five physician-owned groups that prove otherwise before the end of the call. This directory is how you get to five. 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 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 map of independent infectious disease in North Carolina was never compiled. So we compiled it. 50 practices, all physician-owned, all in one place. Now you can see what is around you before you sign into one corner of it.
What you'll find here is a complete list of 32 physician-owned infectious disease practices in North Carolina, verified against the NPPES NPI Registry. I started with the full federal database and worked backwards, removing every practice that doesn't qualify as independently operated. No hospital jobs. No PE-backed groups. No staffing agencies. Just 50 practices across 11 cities where physicians own the entity and control the clinical direction.
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 infectious disease practices in North Carolina 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.
North Carolina's physician-owned infectious disease directory lists 32 practice locations across 10 cities. The largest group is ID Care® - Infectious Diseases Specialty Practice (2 locations).
None of the infectious disease practices listed in North Carolina carry a PE-Backed or Corporate-Acquired flag. All listings in this directory are physician-owned independent practices verified through NPPES.
Practices span 10 cities including Chapel Hill, Durham, Fayetteville, and Greensboro.
You found the directory. Now use the rest of what we built: the course on what the contract actually says, and the directory of attorneys who do this work for a living.
You are already here. 32 physician-owned infectious disease groups in North Carolina, 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 North Carolina. The person on your side should be one who actually does this work.
Now you know what else is around. Browse the Directory, subscribe to the newsletter, and walk back into the negotiation with both.
“You are not unprepared. Nobody handed you the page that comes next.”
Daniel Aragón, MD, MBAThere are 32 physician-owned infectious disease private practices in North Carolina, 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.
North Carolina's physician-owned infectious disease practices include Carolina Infectious Disease, PA (Fayetteville, founded 2009), Coastal Infectious Disease Consultants (Wilmington, 4 physicians), and Wilmington Health (Infectious Disease) (Wilmington, 180 physicians).
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 ID practices in North Carolina with strong outpatient models often combine: HIV primary care (with Ryan White Title III grant funding where applicable, which supports the practice financially for uninsured patients), travel medicine (yellow fever vaccination, malaria prophylaxis, pre-travel consultations, largely cash-pay), and outpatient antibiotic infusion therapy (OPAT) for patients completing IV antibiotic courses at home or in the office. These outpatient revenue streams reduce dependence on hospital inpatient admissions volume.

| Partnership / buy-in path | Common | Rare | Rare |
