Some have the luxury of having a group (family maybe) to join. Most will have to lease or buy suitable office space; furnish & maintain it; And the big one, buy hi-tech med. equip. (x-ray, drill, sterilizers etc.)

Most will be financing this while having 8yrs. (6yr. min.) of stugent loans to pay off . You’ll work every day (inc. Sat.). BTW, notice all items on this list are for office & employees, Nothing for yourself.

Now, once you build your patient list, you’ll make HUGE $. mostly billing Ins. Co. if they’re willing to work.

Anesth. on the other hand, (I overheard this from 2 Docs. at a recent ER visit) can hook up w/a Hosp., They’ll work three 24hr. shifts

per week. They nap or watch TV in the Drs. lounge until they are needed. While the dentist has greater earnings potential, these guy will make $150K+
