Most nephrology physicians sign their first contract without knowing how many other groups exist within driving distance. This is the single largest source of leverage you give away in your career, and you give it away because nobody told you the information was out there. 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:

The map of independent nephrology in Oregon was never compiled. So we compiled it. 37 practices, all physician-owned, all in one place. Now you can see what is around you before you sign into one corner of it.
There are 37 nephrology practices in Oregon on this page, and every single one is physician-owned. I built the list from the NPPES NPI Registry, then layered on business data from DataForSEO for practice websites, phone numbers, and descriptions. Hospital-system practices, government clinics, academic positions, and corporate-acquired groups didn't make the cut. The listings cover 11 cities across Oregon.
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 nephrology practices in Oregon. 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.
Oregon's physician-owned nephrology directory lists 26 practice locations across 10 cities. The largest group is Oregon Kidney and Hypertension Clinic (2 locations).
None of the nephrology practices listed in Oregon 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 Albany, Beaverton, Bend, and Gresham.
Three steps. Skip any one of them and you are back to signing the first thing handed to you.
You are already here. 26 physician-owned nephrology groups in Oregon, vetted against NPPES.
The Real Contract walks you through every clause that matters: non-compete, productivity, tail coverage, partnership track.

Daniel Aragón, MD, MBAThere are 26 physician-owned nephrology private practices in Oregon, 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.
Oregon has 7 physician-owned nephrology practices across 5 cities. The larger groups include The Oregon Clinic - Nephrology (Portland), Northwest Renal Clinic (Portland), and Oregon Kidney Care (Eugene). Summit Health Oregon (Bend Memorial Clinic) - Nephrology (CityMD with Walgre...
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.
Yes, but it is increasingly difficult. Roughly 80% of U.S. dialysis facilities are controlled by DaVita or Fresenius. Independent or joint-venture physician ownership still exists in Oregon in some markets, particularly smaller communities where the national dialysis organizations have less penetration. CMS certification, ESRD Network participation, and CON requirements (if applicable in Oregon) must all be navigated. Physician-owned dialysis revenue historically represented 30-50% of total nephrologist income in practice settings that had it.
