Practice Description

Radiology Imaging Associates is a private, exclusively physician-owned practice in Central Florida with divisions in Ocala and Daytona. We have recruited 5 rads so far for on-site in 2025 and more than 30 rads for remote positions. With over 100+ radiologists total, we are the optimal size for strength with agility. We have our own internal nighthawk coverage of employed radiologists so you can rest well and offer numerous internal moonlighting opportunities so you can earn extra income if you choose. We own 30+ imaging centers, generating real-estate appreciation and technical fees - distinguishing us from hospital-based, professional-fee only practices.

In Ocala, we are the only large radiology group in the county, providing us leverage when negotiating with insurance companies. We serve multiple hospitals, ensuring our stability. We also own a private practice in the U.S. Virgin Islands, which includes access to a timeshare at the Ritz-Carlton in St. Thomas. Additionally, we offer a rental townhome on the Big Island of Hawaii, equipped with a workstation, where radiologists can rotate and work remotely. Last year, our associates and partners worked ~185 shifts/days, averaging close to only one weekday call and one weekend per month. With more than 14 weeks of vacation, live comfortably and travel wherever you desire.

Our diverse income streams, minimal debt load, and non-hierarchical, non-tiered partnership structure ensure our autonomy. Partners in executive roles across the age-distribution ensure our longevity. Our group is one of the few remaining true private practices. We intend to capitalize on the dissatisfaction with corporatized/private equity radiology. We have had numerous consecutive years of double-digit growth and are looking to hire sincere, hard-working radiologists to help us to expand further.

Partners and pre-partners are treated equally, we have a blinded lottery for picking vacation time, equal vacation, equal call, equal pay for moonlighting, and equal distribution of multispecialty and tumor board conferences. Unsurprisingly, we do not have a high turnover of pre-partners. We have a nominal required buy-in and do not have partnership tiers, unlike almost all other Florida groups. We strongly value workplace culture and do not support hierarchies, unequal work distribution/productivity, or cherry-picking. Vested cash balance plans and 401k profit sharing plans are provided. We offer uniform, well-compensated, 3-year partnership track positions. Other groups with shorter tracks usually have partnership tiers and are professional-fee only. Our partner compensation is boosted by owning the scanners and buildings and is significantly higher than the corporate-owned practices that litter Florida. Educational opportunities are available via University of Central Florida and Nova Southeastern University affiliations.

We currently use Fuji Synapse PACS, Agfa PACS, Powerscribe 360, and Clario smartlist manager that allows for chat messaging and case collaboration. We use RadAI to automatically generate report impressions. We have our own 24/7 in-house IT and clinical support staff utilizing physician extenders to minimize phone calls and non-clinical tasks. We have a software development team to create software in-house and possibly license outside in the future.
