MCAT. STEPs. Match. ABIM. Each one was a milestone someone else designed. You hit them in order, on time, and the path kept going.
A physician who can see that there are 40 physician-owned plastic & reconstructive surg 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.

About this directory and the Tennessee plastic & reconstructive surg market
For 15 years you had a map. Then the map ran out.
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. 105 plastic & reconstructive surg groups in Tennessee, physician-owned, cross-referenced against the NPPES NPI Registry. Start here.
What other resources point to in Tennessee
You're looking at 70 physician-owned plastic & reconstructive surg practices in Tennessee. 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 18 cities statewide.
Most physicians looking for plastic & reconstructive surg opportunities in Tennessee 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 70 practices you can contact directly, without a middleman deciding what you're allowed to see.

Frequently asked questions about plastic & reconstructive surg in Tennessee
How many Plastic & Reconstructive Surg private practices are in Tennessee?
There are 70 physician-owned plastic & reconstructive surg private practices in Tennessee, verified against the NPPES NPI Registry. All are independently operated. Hospital-employed, government, corporate, and academic positions are excluded.
What does physician-owned mean?
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.
What does the Corporate-Acquired or MSO-Affiliated flag mean?
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.
In-Office Surgical Suite Ownership in Tennessee Plastic Surgery
Tennessee has 6 physician-owned plastic & reconstructive surg practices across 6 cities. The larger groups include Maxwell Aesthetics (Nashville), Memphis Plastic Surgery (Memphis), and Knoxville Plastic Surgery (Knoxville).
What is an NPPES-verified practice?
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.
Do plastic surgeons in Tennessee need a licensed ASC to perform cosmetic procedures in an in-office suite?
It depends on the procedures and state regulations. In Tennessee, in-office surgical suites performing procedures under general anesthesia or deep sedation typically require state licensure as an office-based surgical facility. Procedures under local anesthesia only (with or without oral sedation) may have lighter oversight requirements. CMS certification is required only if the facility bills Medicare, cash-pay cosmetic practices may not need Medicare certification. Confirm Tennessee-specific office-based surgery facility requirements with a healthcare attorney before opening a surgical suite.

Key Terms in Physician Contracts
Fair Market Value
The price at which a willing buyer and willing seller would agree to transact, with both parties having reasonable knowledge of the relevant facts. Physician compensation must meet fair market value to comply with federal anti-kickback and Stark Law requirements. Independent valuations are used for buy-in pricing, compensation benchmarking, and practice sales.
Collections-Based Compensation
A pay model in which a physician's income is tied directly to the revenue collected from their patient encounters. The physician typically receives a percentage of collections (40 to 55 percent is common) after overhead. This model rewards high-volume, high-acuity work but creates income variability.
Malpractice Insurance
Professional liability coverage that protects physicians against claims of medical negligence. Two main types exist: claims-made (covers claims only if both the incident and filing occur during the active policy) and occurrence-based (covers any incident during the policy period, regardless of when the claim is filed). Premium costs vary dramatically by specialty and state.
Ancillary Revenue
Income generated by a medical practice from services beyond physician office visits. Common sources include in-office imaging, laboratory testing, physical therapy, infusion services, and dispensing. Ancillary revenue can account for 20 to 40 percent of total practice revenue in procedure-heavy specialties.
NPPES (National Plan and Provider Enumeration System)
The federal registry maintained by CMS that assigns and tracks NPIs for all U.S. healthcare providers. NPPES data is publicly searchable and includes provider name, practice address, taxonomy codes, and enumeration date.
In-Office Surgical Suite
A procedure room or fully equipped operating room within a physician's office building used to perform surgeries under local or general anesthesia. Subject to state office-based surgery regulations and accreditation requirements (AAAHC, AAASF, or JCAHO). May not require CMS certification if exclusively serving cash-pay patients.
Cosmetic vs. Reconstructive Surgery
Cosmetic surgery is performed to improve appearance in a patient without a medical condition and is not covered by insurance, patients pay directly. Reconstructive surgery corrects defects caused by trauma, disease, or birth defect and is covered by insurance. The mix of cosmetic vs. reconstructive work in a practice determines its cash-pay revenue fraction.
