There are 12 physician-owned urology practices in South Dakota, vetted against the NPPES NPI Registry. Hospital-employed, government, and academic positions are excluded.
13 urology groups in South Dakota that physicians still own. No hospital systems, no private equity, no academic posts. Just the map nobody else built.
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.
Once you can name three independent urology groups in your target city, every clause in your hospital contract becomes negotiable in a way it was not five minutes ago. The same non-compete, the same productivity formula, the same partnership track suddenly have something to be measured against. 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.
The senior residents signed their first contracts without reading every clause. Not because they did not care, but because nobody had handed them a map of what else existed. So they took the first offer. This directory exists so you do not have to.

Daniel Aragón, MD, MBAThere are 12 physician-owned urology private practices in South Dakota, 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.
South Dakota's physician-owned urology practices include Urology Specialists (Sioux Falls, 9 physicians) and Yankton Medical Clinic - Urology (Yankton).
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.
Physician ownership of radiation therapy facilities is permitted under certain Stark Law exceptions, but it is a heavily scrutinized area. The in-office ancillary services exception may apply if the therapy is provided at the same location where the urologist sees patients and directly supervises the service. Joint ownership with radiation oncologists raises additional anti-kickback concerns. Always obtain an independent healthcare attorney review of any radiation facility ownership structure before investing.
