On average, pediatricians earn $180,000 and family practitioners earn $175,000 annually — substantially less than orthopedic surgeons, who make $519,000, or urologists, who make $400,000, according to Merritt Hawkins data.
Merritt Hawkins reported the disparity is partially due to differences in revenue. Primary care physicians brought in an average of $225,383 less in hospital revenue than specialists from 2002 to 2010.
