There are 15 physician-owned gastroenterology practices in West Virginia, vetted against the NPPES NPI Registry. Hospital-employed, government, and academic positions are excluded.
32 gastroenterology groups in West Virginia 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.
A physician who can see that there are 40 physician-owned gastroenterology 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.
Hospital-employed, government-operated, and academic positions are excluded. These are not independent private practices:

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.
What this directory does is hand you the page you were missing. Every physician-owned gastroenterology group in West Virginia, in one place, so the first contract you sign is not the only contract you ever saw.
What you'll find here is a complete list of 15 physician-owned gastroenterology practices in West Virginia, 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 32 practices across 6 cities where physicians own the entity and control the clinical direction.
Most physicians looking for gastroenterology opportunities in West Virginia 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 15 practices you can contact directly, without a middleman deciding what you're allowed to see.
West Virginia's physician-owned gastroenterology directory lists 15 practice locations across 6 cities. The largest group is Ahmed Sherif, MD (2 locations).
None of the gastroenterology practices listed in West Virginia carry a PE-Backed or Corporate-Acquired flag. All listings in this directory are physician-owned independent practices verified through NPPES.

Daniel Aragón, MD, MBAThere are 15 physician-owned gastroenterology private practices in West Virginia, 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.
West Virginia doesn't have physician-owned independent gastroenterology practices in this directory. Gastroenterology care here runs through hospital systems like Vandalia Health, and Mon Health Gastroenterology Morgantown, and Marshall Health Network.
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.
Many do, but not all. Physician-owned endoscopy centers represent the primary financial advantage of GI private practice over hospital employment. In West Virginia, groups with ASC or endoscopy center ownership generate significantly higher per-physician revenue from facility fees (roughly $800-$3,000 per colonoscopy under commercial payers). Always ask about ownership structure and buy-in terms during any practice interview, this single variable often predicts a $100,000-$250,000 income difference annually.
