[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]with shrinking reimbursements and escalating rent, utilities, insurance, etc, most pediatricians (who take insurance) in DC are lucky to clear 100K/year.  Internists do slightly better in this area but the large majority of them make under 150K.

i really find this hard to believe.[/quote]

this is completely, entirely true.  I have medical school friends at many of the local practices.  Ever wonder why 9/10 pediatricians and internists in DC don't take insurance?  
Reimbursements across states are generally very similar but the costs of doing business here (staff salaries, rents, etc) are much higher than they would be in much of America.

Absolutely not true. Several doctors in my family including 2 pediatricians. Lowest earner makes $200,000 a year.[/quote]

No, PP, I'm sorry, but it IS true.  I have several doctors in MY family who live in other cities and considered moving here, but would have had to take huge paycuts.  My sister, 10 years ago, straight out of residency was making $120K in the south, but would have had to cut her pay in HALF to join a practice in the DC area.  Also, there is more managed care in the DC area than elsewhere, which means that doctors are being reimbursed less.[/quote]
