Real Experiences from Private Practice Nephrology Physicians
“i would say this atypical of Nephrology. 250,000 of my salary comes from dialysis center directorshop. I did not include my share from JV with dialysis units, but that has significantly decreased because of cut reimbursements to dialysis. It took me 5 years to become partner and i think that's why people don't go into Nephrology. The old guys will not give you a share of dialysis JV or directorship easily. i made 300k for 5-6 years. graduated fellowship in 2016”
