MCAT. STEPs. Match. ABIM. Each one was a milestone someone else designed. You hit them in order, on time, and the path kept going.
Once you can name three independent vascular surgery 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.

About this directory and the Virginia vascular surgery market
You finished vascular surgery. Now what?
Then PGY-Final arrives. Suddenly there is no syllabus, no advisor telling you which clause to push back on, no upperclassman who has done this before. There is only a contract and a clock.
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.
What other resources point to in Virginia
I built this directory by starting with the NPPES NPI Registry, the federal database where every medical practice in the country has to register. From there, I filtered Virginia's vascular surgery listings down to practices that are genuinely physician-owned. That means no hospital-employed roles, no academic faculty positions, no corporate-acquired clinics. What you're looking at is 129 independent vascular surgery practices across 28 cities in Virginia.
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 vascular surgery practices in Virginia. 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.
The Virginia vascular surgery market in detail
Virginia's physician-owned vascular surgery directory lists 73 practice locations across 28 cities. The largest groups include Commonwealth Vein Center (2 locations), Dr. R. Donald Doherty, Jr. (2 locations), and Carlos J. Torres-Medina, M.D. (2 locations).
None of the vascular surgery practices listed in Virginia carry a PE-Backed or Corporate-Acquired flag. All listings in this directory are physician-owned independent practices verified through NPPES.
Practices span 28 cities including Arlington, Blacksburg, Charlottesville, and Christiansburg.

Frequently asked questions about vascular surgery in Virginia
How many Vascular Surgery private practices are in Virginia?
There are 73 physician-owned vascular surgery private practices in Virginia, 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.
Vascular Lab Ownership for Private Practice Surgeons in Virginia
Virginia has 5 physician-owned vascular surgery practices across 4 cities. The larger groups include Virginia Heart - Vascular Surgery (Arlington), Virginia Cardiovascular Specialists - Vascular Surgery (Richmond), and Cardiology Consultants Ltd. of Hampton Roads - Vascular Surge...
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.
How does vascular lab ownership affect income for surgeons in private vascular practice in Virginia?
When a vascular surgery practice owns its vascular ultrasound equipment and employs its own vascular technologist, the practice bills and collects the technical component of duplex ultrasound studies (carotid, lower extremity arterial/venous, ABI, AAA) separately from the physician's interpretation. The technical component is typically 2-3x the interpretation fee. For a surgeon generating 10 studies per week, that adds substantial annual revenue over and above professional fee income. IAC accreditation (InterSocietal Accreditation Commission) is required by most payers for technical component billing of vascular ultrasound.

Key Terms in Physician Contracts
PC (Professional Corporation)
A state-chartered corporation formed by licensed professionals. Physicians use PCs to own and operate their practices with liability separation. Many states require medical practices to be structured as PCs rather than standard LLCs or general partnerships.
PLLC (Professional Limited Liability Company)
A hybrid entity combining LLC flexibility with professional licensing requirements. PLLCs are common for physician-owned practices in states that permit them. They offer pass-through taxation and personal liability protection for non-malpractice claims.
MSO (Management Services Organization)
A non-physician entity that provides administrative infrastructure (billing, coding, EHR support, payer contracting) to physician-owned practices. MSO arrangements let physicians retain clinical and practice ownership while outsourcing back-office operations. Private equity commonly uses MSO structures to influence practice operations without technically owning the medical entity.
NPI (National Provider Identifier)
A unique 10-digit number assigned to every U.S. healthcare provider and organization by CMS. Individual physicians receive a Type 1 NPI; practice entities receive a Type 2 NPI. The NPI is used across all payers for billing and credentialing.
Restrictive Covenant
Any contractual clause that limits a physician's professional activities after leaving an employer. Non-compete clauses are the most common restrictive covenant, but the category also includes non-solicitation clauses (prohibiting contact with former patients or staff) and non-disparagement clauses.
Vascular Ultrasound Technical Component
The portion of a duplex ultrasound billing code attributed to the equipment, technologist time, and overhead required to perform the scan. Billable separately from the physician's interpretation (professional component). When the physician practice owns the equipment and employs the technologist, the technical component revenue accrues to the practice.
Accreditation program for vascular testing laboratories that verifies staff credentials, equipment standards, and quality control. Most commercial payers and Medicare require IAC accreditation for full technical component reimbursement of vascular duplex ultrasound studies. Accreditation review typically takes 6-12 months.
