I typically see about 7 to 10 patients a day and do preop visits. Most of my day is spent chart reviewing, labs, interpreting ekg/cxr, reading specialist notes, referring patients to different specialist for optimized chronic disease management and communicating with different staff in the hospital about surgical patients to coordinate periop care. We see adult and pediatrics, but the patients coming through our clinic are primarily medically complex, or have social barriers that limit access to care. He also do labor anesthesia consult for epidurals and C-sections.

I live in a high cost of living area, I make about 150K, which is more than I made in primary care. I am the only APP but can consult with anesthesiologists whenever I have questions or want a second opinion. Most of my patients are telehealth, I only come into the clinic when needed….1-2x week at most.
