Hey guys I'm actually a Partner in Pinnacle/USAP. Honestly any major metropolitan area in Texas is a 3 year partnership. When I was looking in Dallas, Houston , Galvaston, anywhere around these areas all have a 3 year partnership. Sorry it's just the way it is for the region and all groups charge that. Benefit is no state tax, great place to live and the major big groups have the best contract negotiation rates. I'm not going to tell you what I make but I will tell you as an associate in the 3 year track I made less than anyone else I graduated with. Now that I'm a partner I have done really well compared to others I graduated with. Partnership is not a for sure thing but honestly it shouldn't be. If you show up late , can't get along with surgeons , and I can't trust you in a room, I don't want partners that jeopardize the business and Patients. If someone is serious about wanting to join our group we are hiring currently, both partnership and non partnership. Non partnership you're looking at 300k with max 350k after 3 years. Just message me and we can talk.
