I think you are wrong. I make about 130,000 before taxes. I billed 425,000. I see alot of patients. We had to borrow money to make pay roll for the first time in 30 years this month. Our overhead has gone from 54% ten years ago to 73% over all.
Are you a primary care physician or a specialist? Where do you practice? I have friends and relatives who are doctors. While I don’t grill them on how much they make exactly, they sure do live a more affluent lifestyle than I do. My cousin the anestesiologist could sure afford to paint and carpet his office (though, I think his is taken care of by the hospital). My own primary care doctor just moved into a brand new office suite. I don’t think he’s hurting either.
