Orthopedic spine surgeon compensation and salary statistics
1. The median salary of an orthopedic spine surgeon is $736,710, according to MGMA’s 2015 Provider Compensation and Production Survey Report.
Overall Ms. Meier does a nice job on these articles, so I was surprised to see a couple of errors in the article regarding 55 facts spine surgeons should know.
In the section listing the Top 5 spine companies, Synthes is included – but Synthes merged with Depuy over a year ago and is no longer an industry player.
Also, the rankings of the top hospitals for neurology/ neurosurgery are incorrect – Mass General is # 2, not Columbia.
Frank,
Thanks for your feedback, it’s always appreciated! I did not write this particular article, however, the contributors over at Becker’s Spine Review did. I’m sure that they would love to hear your comments and make revisions where necessary though. Here is a link to the full article:
