My Practice Experience Updateby 3rd year out (no login)Hello All. I am finishing up my 3rd year in solo private practice. Here are my numbers. Gross income 2002: 153,000 Net Income 2002: 72,000 I performed 5 bunionectomies in 2002, 2 neuroma excision and 13 arthrodesis of toes, 2 EPF, no rearfoot. I am in a small city 150,000 population with 9 other practicing podiatrists. I am the most well trained of the bunch, but it doesn't translate into cash. It seems the referal patterns are set in stone, lord knows I've tried to suck up!!! LOL. I haven't been in the OR for 14 weeks, I wonder if I remember which end of the knife to hold!!! LOL. A senior podiatrist in my town just gave me a nursing home that he was tired of, I really hate nursing homes and swore I would not start going to them, but I need the money. Nursing homes suck big time. I graduated top 5% of my class, 3.8 gpa... you know the rest. Keep my ears open, mouth shut, easy going, personable. Maybe I should get out of Florida and go to Colorado.... Maybe... from IP address 198.70.211.95 Goto Forum Home |
