in Wisconsin with more than 20 physicians each.

Now, there is 1 truly private radiology group in WI with more than 20 physicians.

You drop in one PE group and it's like a bomb goes off--everyone scrambles to choose a team.

Combination of hospital consolidation driving group consolidation, fear of losing out, belief that you can't compete with huge corporations, continued increased regulatory burdens, and decreased reimbursement. Add in hospital systems taking over groups and academic medical centers owning "community groups" to siphon off money for their academic practices.

As has been discussed on the board recently--private practice is evaporating. It may not want to go on the cart and it may feel happy, but it's getting clubbed over the head.
