What is the highest paying doctor/surgeon?

Highest paying? What is the physician paying for?

Are you attempting to ask which physicians tend to earn the most, on average?

Neurosurgeons and Cadiac Surgeons typically earn the most money. Cardiac surgeons, however, have been under increased FDA scrutiny due to some dishonest billing practices that led to the high salaries.

In general, the longer the residency/fellowship, the more the physician will earn.

Plastics can also do very well, depending on reimbursements and patient base. Orthopedic Surgeons do well, very well, but not usually on par with neurosurgery or cardiac.

The other thing to remember is that it's all situational. I know podiatrist surgeons who make &500,000-$1,000,000 and others who make $75k. An anesthesiologist in an area substrates with CRNAs might make $150k and in an area that uses mostly MDs, $350k.

Interventional cardiology and orthopedics are among the highest. Salaries vary depending on geography and on contractual arrangements, so there will be considerable overlap between different specialties.
