re: dentists - the resurgence of wealthy

I know 3 personally. One started a few years ago in Shreveport at a big practice and made 200k in his first year (very rare I would assume)

Then I met two while shadowing one made 160k with 600 per day or 33% production and the other made around 120k with 500 a day or 35% production I think?

Of course the two places I shadowed at aren't overly saturated. I would think a beginner associate in louisiana in a non oversaturated area could make 120k+ pretty easily.

I think the norm for associates is around 500 a day now but i could be off.


Eta: just saw where you said new dentists were starting at 350 a year? The seems really low to me but maybe it's just the area I'm in or I'm just not as informed as I thought
