About this directory and the West Virginia general surgery market
Every other milestone came with a checklist. This one did not.
Then you hit your last year of training and the structure ends. Someone wires you a stipend to come look at a hospital. Someone else sends an MSA with a non-compete you do not have time to read.
Nobody is telling you what other general surgery practices exist in West Virginia, what the contract really says, or which lawyer to call. The senior people in your program signed without reading because they had no guide either. This directory is the first page of the map.
What other resources point to in West Virginia
Here's what this page is: 78 general surgery practices in West Virginia that are physician-owned. Not hospital jobs. Not corporate medical groups. Not locum postings.

The practices span 11 cities across the state.
I made this because the information doesn't exist in one place anywhere else.

This page does that work for you. 54 practices, 11 cities, all verified through the NPPES NPI Registry. Contact them directly.

Frequently asked questions about general surgery in West Virginia
How many General Surgery private practices are in West Virginia?
There are 54 physician-owned general surgery private practices in West 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.
Call Schedule Norms in West Virginia General Surgery Private Practice
West Virginia doesn't have physician-owned independent general surgery practices in this directory. General surgery care here runs through hospital systems like Vandalia Health, and CAMC General Hospital Level I trauma surgery, and Marshall Health Network.
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 call schedule compare between private practice and hospital employment for surgeons in West Virginia?
Private general surgery groups in West Virginia typically share call equally among partners. With 4-6 partners, that often means 1 in 4 to 1 in 6 nights. Hospital-employed surgeons may have heavier call obligations with less schedule flexibility. The key variables are group size, whether NP/PA providers take first call, how emergency cases are compensated, and whether weekend trauma call is distributed separately from weeknight call.

Key Terms in Physician Contracts
Compensation Formula
The contractual method used to calculate physician pay. Common models include guaranteed salary, eat-what-you-kill (collections-based), salary plus production bonus (RVU or collections above a threshold), and equal-share partnership distributions. The formula directly affects income stability, upside potential, and alignment with practice goals.
Partnership Buy-In
The purchase of an ownership stake in a physician practice entity, typically offered after an associate track of 2 to 5 years. The buy-in price is calculated using business valuation, a multiple of earnings, or a formula tied to practice receivables. True equity buy-ins include voting rights and profit distributions.
Without-Cause Termination
A contract clause that allows either party to end the employment agreement without stating a reason, typically with 60 to 120 days written notice. The notice period, post-termination obligations (non-compete activation, tail insurance responsibility), and severance terms are negotiable. Shorter notice periods favor the employer.
Call Coverage
The obligation to provide after-hours or weekend coverage for patient emergencies. Contracts should specify call frequency (1 in 4, 1 in 6, etc.), whether call is compensated separately, and whether the physician takes call from home or in-house. Unrestricted call obligations are a common source of physician burnout.
Credentialing
The process by which hospitals and insurance companies verify a physician's education, training, board certification, licensure, and malpractice history before granting privileges or network participation. Credentialing typically takes 60 to 120 days and must be completed before a physician can bill patients under a new practice or facility.
Call Coverage
The obligation to be available by phone and/or in person to handle emergencies and urgent consultations outside of scheduled clinic or OR hours. Call frequency is typically expressed as a ratio (1 in 4 = one night or weekend in four). Call structure and compensation vary significantly between private practice and hospital-employed positions.
First Call / Second Call
A hierarchical call system where a midlevel provider (NP/PA) takes first call, handling initial assessments and triaging cases, and the attending physician is on second call, available for cases the first-call provider cannot manage independently. Reduces overnight burden on physician partners.
