A Radiology doctor of Osteopathy that specializes in Body Imaging.

Reading the sole-proprietor share

For this specialty, 258 active records, or 10.1%, are flagged as sole proprietors in NPPES. This is a self-reported NPPES field and an imperfect proxy for private practice because it does not by itself establish ownership, employment arrangement, or independent practice. Use it as an indicator of registration status, not as a direct count of private-practice physicians.
