Hi, I have a few questions about oral maxillofacial surgery.
1) What is a typical patient volume for a practicing surgeon in a fairly large city five years out. I know location and competition will play a large role, but if an OMFS has say two offices and works 6 days a week alternating locations would it be possible to do upwards of 20 to 30 extractions/sedations every week?
Also, what type of volume do you think OMFS can expect in the future for other bread and butter procedures such as implants in a fairly large city.
2) How does malpractice insurance pair up with similar specialties in dental?
3) Do you see any turf wars or varying factors that would put a strain on any of the typical B&B procedures done by OMFS in the future?
I am leaning toward OMFS, and I am having a hard time finding faculty to guide me on some of the specifics. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
