$665,000 seems low for a surgeon? What ‘specialty’ would he do that low at 50? Aren’t most specialized surgeons in the $1 mil plus range?

Eh. Probably above average for most specialities not ortho/nsgy spine, cardiothoracic. I think people overestimate what "surgeons" make.

Of course those that have a bunch of ancillary services(imaging centers, surgery centers, real estate/med offices etc) bring in a higher annual income vs those who just paid on productivity/services they provide.
