How much can ODs expect to get paid when working in a priv practice with a ophthalmologist?

1/3 of what the ophthalmologist is making. So about $80,000 seeing 30+ patients per day.
The ODs that work for ophthalmology practice average salary in the NorthEast is 90-115,000.
I would say that the starting salary of most OMDs working for another OMD in the northeast is about the same or only slightly more (and the slightly higher salary is more than made up for by the having to take all of the hospital call and most of the practice call for the older ophthalmologist).
I don't think the main underlying issue here is an OMD vs OD issue. It's more about owning your own business.
I know about 10 ODs who work for MDs and while a few of them are in that range, once their bonus is added in, most of them are in the 90-100K range for salary.
