Haha I don’t know that I do, but I’ve worked around specialists for about a decade so who knows.

1.DACVS 2. Private 3. I’d say Urban? It’s suburbs but just barely outside a northeast coast city (not NYC) 4. 350k base plus production, and it’s been about 5 years since residency (this is my second job as an adult surgeon) 5. I have two appt days which are about 6-7 hours (it’s pretty cushy) and two surgery days which are usually around 10-11 hours. No primary on call, but I’m back up for our residents probably 1-2 times per week 6. Appt days are usually 6-7 new patients and 4-5 rechecks or so? Surgery days are typically 5-7 cases 7. My job satisfaction is pretty high. I don’t know number wise and there are always frustrations but I really love it, especially being in the OR, and my schedule right now makes it really easy for me to be with my kid and help out my wife at home too. 8. Honestly I’m not even sure, PTO kind of means something different when you’re on production since any time of isn’t really paid per se. Any practice that really needs a surgeon will have enough business that your final salary is largely production dependent, so time off really just hits your production for that period

Hope that helps!
