$1M is very rare for doctors

I'd say the top of the field is probably orthopedic and spine/neuro surgeons, who are more realistically in the $700k range. If you own a large practice, or have significant ownership in a lucrative surgery center, or have other avenues of passive income, and are also in a highly lucrative field, sure, maybe $1M. Also, I guess, a very lucrative cash only practice like high end cosmetic surgery. But I would not say that it's in the realistic range for 90% of physicians


I agree. It is the top of the range.

Only a very small number of docs could be making that much. And most would have some other income stream besides their professional service.
