There seems to be a huge dichotomy of acceptable salaries on SDN and avg salaries on BLS for example. From as far as I can tell the avg DPM in NY state makes $140K or GA $123K. Maybe these employers are referring to BLS like the average person would? I mean, who really knows the salary of a pod?

After reading this site, it’s sad to say but I PRAY (literally pray) that my base is AT LEAST $130K after I graduate from residency next year. Sure my outgoing 3rd year got a hospital job created for $200K base but its located in the middle of nowhere. I know that for me personally, I will have to accept an employed position in a metropolitan area.

$150K or $160K? And I don’t have to beg for the basic benefits that are offered to a full-time employee in any other profession doing any other job? Sounds GOOD too me.

All your prayers will be answered ONLY if you don't work as an associate for another Podiatrist. I will say no more.

Two things:

1) I've said it before and I'll say it again. Avoid the northeast. Its a hard life for DPMs up there. DPM/ortho relationship is crap. Lots of trash talking goes on. Scammy jobs galore.

2) 150k without bonus structure is low. But assuming they are real in that partnership is available that is the real cash cow buying into a successful business. Could be very lucrative in the future. Or a giant scam. Who knows its the north east. Probably a scam.

Which areas would you say are better for DPMs?
 
Avoid the northeast. Its a hard life for DPMs up there.

The north east has the highest concentration of pods in the country, must be that way for a reason ... life is good up here we get 4 seasons lol

but not to worry i will post jobs that i have had sent to me from all over the county recently there was one from OKC that I cant find and it wasnt that great either ... lets keep the posting going
 
Those look like decent jobs . I would take any of those than private practice. That’s just me. Some people like PP.

For this one

Podiatrist With Surgical Experience Needed

Seeking a board certified / board eligible Podiatrist with Surgical Experience to join a well-established multi-specialty group.

My friend has interviewed here and knows all the details. I can’t post it all here but the general thought is yes it’s a good salary and benefits, better than most PP jobs but the group itself seemed to be poorly managed internally. The office and owner/ doctors’ online reviews are mostly bad. The owner seems to have staff make accounts to write fake good reviews to offset the bad ones. The office also currently does not seem to follow lots of cdc protocols which is kind of disturbing in this pandemic.

I found this to be an interesting take on A MSG job. The salary and benefits are very important but will a pod be willing to risk their reputation to have this job. you can do everything right for your patients when you are in the room with them but what if the staff - from the front desk to the MA which you can’t control as much in a MSG doesn’t hold up to your standards.

A lot of hospital based or independent MSGs can be susceptible to poor staffing/ organization. That can certainly be a problem. It’s very easy to get burnt out not so much by the volume of work but by the constant frustration of dealing with poorly trained/ poorly organized staff which makes the patient experience poor. Your reputation gets roped into that as well. Patients might love you but they hate going through your office. They will seek care else where.

Wow!! We never talk about this but this is so true !! A solid eff. staff will make a day filled with 30 pts feel like 10 and a caring attentive well spoken staff makes pts feel at ease respected and cared for ... its a whole package and experience when a patient come to an office .. poor staff will deter them away ... many poor reviews involve rude staff etc despite the doc being great

I believe this is why the end goal is to own your private practice or become an equal partner. You decide who to hire and who to fire. You build your own team! The only advantage of working with PP is the staff is well trained and top notch. Bad staffs get fired easily in PP. The owner/partners of PP have a reputation to protect. Big hospital groups don't really care about that, their marketing team is so strong that they will always bring new patients in.

Honestly, it would be great if APMA/state organizations put more effort into creating more hospital-based/MSG jobs out there. What we need is more awareness of how lucrative/needed podiatry is needed for these medical/multispeciality groups and hospital systems, rather than opening up another school that's pouring out more graduates fighting for 60k-80k associate jobs working under another/other podiatrist(s).

There is a good MSG job listed in northern MN that will pay well over $200k. If you play hockey, enjoy ice fishing, snowmobiling, or cross country skiing, you won’t mind the winters so much.

Are midwestern PP salaries just as crappy as the coasts?
 
Which parts of the South, if you don't mind me asking?
Louisianna comes to mind. South Carolina so ive heard is pretty unfriendly towards the DPM degree. Florida is over saturated with DPMs.

I was shocked to see a place that offered me 17% has already lost the person they had hired. Shocked I tell you!

Random - a patient the other day showed me the website for a place @dtrack22 -used- to work asking if they should go there for diabetic nerve pain surgery. I looked today and what should I see but a new associate there.

Diabetic nerve pain surgery........

Where on the podiometric scale does repeat nerve biopsies in a diabetic "to find out if their nerves are getting better" fall? Cause I saw that on an interview awhile back. Guy had amazing collections doing this and billing calluses as benign lesion excisions.

This ranks high on the podiometric scale.

Just as high as the Instagram all stars who brag about doing MIS bunion and hammertoe correction with no fixation in clinic. Extra points for taking an XR or clinical picture while holding the toe in the corrected position and comparing it to the weight bearing pre op image. Very convincing work podiatrist.....

Pretty sure this the leading barometer
 
Is 150k really low for recent pod grads? If you look at the BLS website the average was much lower than that.....
 
Taxes, insurance, loan repayment, mortgage/rent.

Factor those in, you're left not holding much.

Not including offspring.

I've met an awful lot of people who are double-income/no kids and retiring in their late 40s.

Actually, for anyone reading who has young kids and are starting to think about their college future, there is a TON of academic scholarship money out there, versus the elusive full ride sports scholarship that everyone seems to want but barely anyone gets. Tell your kids to put the ball down and study more.
 
So how much are recent POD grads making then?

This has been discussed on multiple threads, use "search" function top right corner. Work hard during school, harder during residency, have a good personality and you'll come out stronger.

I'm interested in buying a practice across town. The current pod is retiring and has averaged 600k/year collections over the past 3 years. I was curious as to your guys' thoughts on this proposal.

I would plan to hire an associate to work solely at that office and pretty much have his or her own office.

My plan would be to structure the contract something like this:

90k for the first 300k collections

33% for 300k-500k

35% 500k-700k

40% over 700k

I think with a little marketing 700-800k collections isn't unobtainable.

I feel like this could expand my current practice. I would purchase the current office building as well and have the "rent" essentially pay the mortgage. I don't think I'd make that much in "profit" but think that I could essentially pay of a building in like 15 years and have an asset that I didn't previously have with income that I didn't previously have.

Has anyone had success with something like this?
