Average annual compensation for US otolaryngologists reached $549,810 in Doximity’s 2026 Physician Compensation Report, providing an updated national benchmark for physicians working in ENT. US otolaryngologists recorded average annual compensation of $549,810, according to Doximity’s 2026 Physician Compensation Report. The latest figure provides ENT physicians with a specialty-specific benchmark when evaluating their compensation, employment opportunities and the financial expectations associated with their practice. Key findings Doximity reports average annual compensation of $549,810 for otolaryngologists (ENT physicians) in its 2026 Physician Compensation Report. For otolaryngologists, the figure provides a useful national reference point within a specialty combining outpatient care, diagnostic procedures and surgery for conditions affecting the ear, nose, throat and related structures of the head and neck. The national average should not be interpreted as the compensation every otolaryngologist will receive. Individual earnings can vary according to geography, experience, subspecialty, surgical and procedural workload, patient volume, call responsibilities, practice setting and employment structure. Otolaryngologist compensation reaches $549,810 The $549,810 average establishes a current national compensation benchmark for US otolaryngologists. ENT practice covers a broad spectrum of conditions, including hearing and balance disorders, chronic sinus disease, airway conditions, voice and swallowing disorders and diseases affecting the head and neck. Otolaryngologists may also develop expertise in areas such as head and neck oncology, rhinology, otology and neurotology, laryngology, facial plastic and reconstructive surgery or pediatric otolaryngology. The mix of consultations, office-based procedures and surgery can therefore differ considerably between individual ENT practices. For otolaryngologists reviewing their current compensation or considering a new position, the Doximity figure provides a useful specialty-specific reference against which an individual package can be assessed. What influences otolaryngologist compensation? Otolaryngology combines medical management with substantial procedural and surgical activity, meaning patient volume, procedure mix, surgical workload and subspecialty focus can all be important when evaluating individual compensation. An ENT physician undertaking complex head and neck surgery may have a different clinical workload from an otolaryngologist whose practice has a greater concentration of outpatient rhinology, otology or general ENT care. Call commitments and hospital responsibilities can also affect the demands of individual roles. Geography, experience and employment model may further influence compensation. Otolaryngologists can work within hospitals, health systems, academic medical centres, specialist groups and independent practices, with compensation structures potentially incorporating base pay, productivity incentives and other contractual components. These factors mean the $549,810 national average should be treated as a benchmark rather than an expected salary for every otolaryngologist. What the latest figure means for otolaryngologists For US otolaryngologists, $549,810 provides a contemporary national reference point when benchmarking existing compensation or assessing a prospective position. When evaluating an opportunity, ENT physicians should consider headline compensation alongside expected patient volumes, surgical and procedural responsibilities, call commitments, working hours and productivity requirements. Subspecialty is particularly relevant within otolaryngology. The clinical activity and workload associated with head and neck oncology, for example, can differ substantially from those of general ENT, rhinology, otology or another subspecialty. The latest Doximity figure therefore provides otolaryngologists with a useful starting point for evaluating compensation while recognising that individual earnings can differ substantially according to the clinical and contractual characteristics of a particular role. About the data The Doximity 2026 Physician Compensation Report provides compensation benchmarks across a wide range of US medical and surgical specialties. The specialty figures represent average compensation and should be treated as national benchmarks. An individual otolaryngologist’s compensation may differ according to geography, experience, subspecialty, procedural activity, surgical workload, call responsibilities, practice setting and other professional factors.

Average annual compensation for US anesthesiologists reached $557,131 in Doximity’s 2026 Physician Compensation Report, providing an updated national benchmark for physicians working in the specialty. US anesthesiologists recorded average annual compensation of $557,131, according to Doximity’s 2026 Physician Compensation Report. The latest figure provides anesthesiologists with a specialty-specific benchmark when evaluating their compensation, employment opportunities and the financial expectations associated with their practice. Key findings Doximity reports average annual compensation of $557,131 for anesthesiologists in its 2026 Physician Compensation Report. For anesthesiologists, the figure provides a useful national reference point within a specialty encompassing perioperative care, anesthesia delivery, patient monitoring and the management of patients before, during and after procedures. The national average should not be interpreted as the compensation every anesthesiologist will receive. Individual earnings can vary according to geography, experience, workload, call responsibilities, clinical focus, practice setting and employment structure. Anesthesiologist compensation reaches $557,131 The $557,131 average establishes a current national compensation benchmark for US anesthesiologists. Anesthesiology encompasses care across the perioperative pathway, including preoperative assessment, delivery and management of anesthesia, intraoperative monitoring and postoperative care. Individual anesthesiologists may work across general surgery, orthopaedics, obstetrics, cardiac surgery, neurosurgery and other procedural areas. Some physicians also develop additional expertise in fields such as critical care, pain medicine, cardiac anesthesia or pediatric anesthesia. These differences can produce substantially different clinical workloads and working arrangements within the specialty. For anesthesiologists reviewing their current compensation or considering a new position, the Doximity figure provides a specialty-specific reference against which an individual package can be assessed. What influences anesthesiologist compensation? Anesthesiology is closely linked to surgical and procedural activity, meaning clinical workload, case mix, working hours and call commitments can all be important when evaluating individual compensation. The complexity of cases and the clinical environment can also influence the demands of a role. An anesthesiologist supporting complex cardiac or neurosurgical procedures, for example, may have a substantially different practice profile from one working primarily within an ambulatory surgical setting. Out-of-hours coverage can be another important consideration. Hospitals providing emergency surgery, trauma services, obstetric care and other continuous services may require anesthesiologists to participate in overnight and weekend call schedules. Geography, experience and employment structure can further influence compensation, with anesthesiologists working across hospitals, health systems, academic medical centres, anesthesia groups and other practice models. These factors mean the $557,131 national average should be treated as a benchmark rather than an expected salary for every anesthesiologist. What the latest figure means for anesthesiologists For US anesthesiologists, $557,131 provides a contemporary national reference point when benchmarking current compensation or evaluating a prospective position. When assessing an employment opportunity, anesthesiologists should consider the headline compensation alongside expected clinical hours, procedure volumes, case complexity, call frequency, weekend coverage and productivity requirements. The structure of the anesthesia service is also important. Two roles carrying the same specialty title can involve very different schedules, clinical responsibilities and contractual arrangements. The latest Doximity figure therefore provides anesthesiologists with a useful starting point for evaluating compensation while recognising that individual earnings can differ substantially according to the workload and structure of a particular position.

Urologist compensation reaches $566,740 The $566,740 average establishes a current national compensation benchmark for US urologists. Urology encompasses the diagnosis and treatment of conditions affecting the urinary tract and male reproductive system. Depending on their practice, urologists may manage prostate disease, urinary tract disorders, kidney stones, urinary incontinence, male infertility and urological cancers. Clinical activity can range from outpatient consultations and diagnostic procedures to minimally invasive interventions and complex surgery. Individual urologists may also develop expertise in areas such as urologic oncology, female pelvic medicine and reconstructive surgery, male reproductive medicine, stone disease or robotic surgery, creating considerable variation in practice profiles. For urologists reviewing their current compensation or considering a new position, the Doximity figure provides a useful specialty-specific reference against which an individual package can be assessed. What influences urologist compensation? Urology combines outpatient care with substantial procedural and surgical activity, meaning patient volume, procedure mix, surgical workload and subspecialty focus can all be important when evaluating individual compensation. A urologist with a significant operative or procedural workload may have a different compensation structure from a physician whose practice contains a greater proportion of outpatient management and follow-up care. Call responsibilities can also influence the demands associated with individual positions, particularly for urologists providing emergency hospital coverage. Geography, experience and employment model may further affect compensation. Urologists can work within hospitals, health systems, academic medical centres, single-specialty groups and other practice structures, with compensation potentially incorporating base salary, productivity incentives and other contractual components. These factors mean the $566,740 national average should be treated as a benchmark rather than an expected salary for every urologist. What the latest figure means for urologists For US urologists, $566,740 provides a contemporary national reference point when benchmarking existing compensation or assessing a prospective position.

Key findings Doximity reports average annual compensation of $600,520 for vascular surgeons in its 2026 Physician Compensation Report. For vascular surgeons, the figure provides a useful national reference point within a specialty combining the diagnosis and long-term management of vascular disease with open surgical and endovascular interventions. The national average should not be interpreted as the compensation every vascular surgeon will receive. Individual earnings can vary according to geography, experience, procedural workload, case complexity, call responsibilities, practice setting and employment structure. Vascular surgeon compensation reaches $600,520 The $600,520 average establishes a current national compensation benchmark for US vascular surgeons. Vascular surgery encompasses the management of diseases affecting the arteries, veins and lymphatic system. Clinical practice can include the treatment of peripheral arterial disease, aortic aneurysms, carotid artery disease, venous disease and other vascular conditions. The specialty also combines traditional open surgery with minimally invasive endovascular procedures, meaning the clinical and procedural profile of individual vascular surgeons can differ substantially. For vascular surgeons reviewing their current compensation or considering a new position, the Doximity figure provides a useful specialty-specific reference against which an individual package can be assessed. What influences vascular surgeon compensation? Vascular surgery is a highly procedural specialty, meaning procedure volume, case complexity and the balance between open and endovascular interventions can be important when evaluating individual compensation. Emergency and on-call responsibilities can also form a significant part of some vascular surgery positions, particularly for physicians providing hospital-based coverage for acute vascular conditions. Individual compensation may additionally reflect experience, geographic market, productivity arrangements and the structure of the employing organisation. Vascular surgeons may work within hospitals, health systems, academic medical centres, multidisciplinary cardiovascular programmes or specialist surgical groups. Clinical leadership, teaching, research and administrative responsibilities may further influence the overall structure of an individual role. These factors mean the $600,520 national average should be treated as a benchmark rather than an expected salary for every vascular surgeon. What the latest figure means for vascular surgeons For US vascular surgeons, $600,520 provides a contemporary national reference point when benchmarking existing compensation or assessing a prospective position. When reviewing an employment opportunity, vascular surgeons should consider the headline figure alongside expected surgical and endovascular volumes, case complexity, call frequency, working hours and productivity requirements.

Individual earnings can vary according to geography, experience, subspecialty, procedural workload, call responsibilities, practice setting and employment structure. Cardiologist compensation reaches $604,635 The $604,635 average establishes a current national compensation benchmark for US cardiologists. Cardiology encompasses a broad range of clinical activity, from outpatient assessment and long-term management of cardiovascular disease to diagnostic testing and specialist procedures. Individual practice profiles can differ considerably. Cardiologists may focus on general or non-invasive cardiology or develop expertise in areas such as interventional cardiology, electrophysiology, heart failure or cardiovascular imaging. These differences in clinical activity mean the workload and compensation arrangements of individual cardiologists can vary substantially even within the same specialty. For cardiologists reviewing their current compensation or considering a new opportunity, the Doximity figure provides a useful specialty-specific reference against which an individual package can be assessed. What influences cardiologist compensation? Cardiology combines longitudinal patient management with significant diagnostic and procedural activity, meaning subspecialty, procedure volume, patient workload and practice structure can all be important when evaluating compensation. A cardiologist whose practice is predominantly outpatient and non-invasive may have a substantially different clinical profile from one performing catheter-based interventions or managing complex electrophysiology procedures. Call responsibilities can also affect the demands associated with individual positions, particularly where cardiologists provide emergency or inpatient cardiovascular services. Geography, experience and employment model can further influence compensation. Cardiologists may work within hospitals, health systems, academic medical centres, cardiovascular groups or other practice structures, with different organisations using different salary, productivity and incentive arrangements.

Average annual compensation for US oncologists reached $519,715 in Doximity’s 2026 Physician Compensation Report, providing an updated national benchmark for physicians working in oncology. US oncologists recorded average annual compensation of $519,715, according to Doximity’s 2026 Physician Compensation Report. The latest figure provides oncologists with a specialty-specific benchmark when evaluating their compensation, employment opportunities and the financial expectations associated with their practice. Key findings Doximity reports average annual compensation of $519,715 for oncologists in its 2026 Physician Compensation Report. For oncologists, the figure provides a useful national reference point within a specialty centred on the diagnosis, systemic treatment and long-term management of patients with cancer. The national average should not be interpreted as the compensation every oncologist will receive. Individual earnings can vary according to geography, experience, patient volume, disease focus, clinical responsibilities, practice setting and employment structure. Oncologist compensation reaches $519,715 The $519,715 average establishes a current national compensation benchmark for US oncologists. Oncology involves the management of patients across the cancer pathway, including diagnosis, treatment selection, systemic anticancer therapy, monitoring, survivorship and care for advanced disease. Individual oncologists may develop expertise in particular tumour types, such as breast, lung, gastrointestinal, genitourinary or other cancers. The growing use of targeted therapies, immunotherapies and biomarker-led treatment has also increased the complexity of treatment decision-making across many areas of oncology. As a result, patient populations and clinical workloads can differ considerably between individual oncology practices. For oncologists reviewing their current compensation or considering a new position, the Doximity figure provides a useful specialty-specific reference against which an individual package can be assessed. What influences oncologist compensation? Oncology combines longitudinal patient management with increasingly complex treatment decisions, meaning patient volume, disease focus, treatment responsibilities and practice structure can all be important when evaluating individual compensation. The nature of an oncologist's patient population may affect workload. Physicians managing patients receiving systemic anticancer therapies can have substantial responsibilities for treatment selection, monitoring, toxicity management and ongoing assessment of treatment response. Oncology is also highly multidisciplinary. Physicians routinely work alongside surgeons, radiation oncologists, pathologists, radiologists and other healthcare professionals when determining and delivering cancer treatment. Geography, experience and employment model can further influence compensation. Oncologists may work within hospitals, academic medical centres, comprehensive cancer centres, health systems or specialist oncology practices, with different organisations using different salary, productivity and incentive arrangements. These factors mean the $519,715 national average should be treated as a benchmark rather than an expected salary for every oncologist. What the latest figure means for oncologists For US oncologists, $519,715 provides a contemporary national reference point when benchmarking existing compensation or assessing a prospective position. When reviewing an employment opportunity, oncologists should consider headline compensation alongside expected patient volumes, disease focus, treatment responsibilities, working hours, call commitments and productivity requirements. The clinical environment is particularly important within oncology. Access to multidisciplinary teams, infusion services, diagnostic testing, molecular pathology, clinical trials and specialist support can materially affect the scope and demands of an individual position. An oncologist's precise area of practice can also be relevant. Physicians concentrating on a particular tumour type or working within a highly specialised cancer centre may have different clinical and professional responsibilities from those working within broader community oncology practices.

Individual earnings can vary according to geography, experience, patient volume, procedure mix, subspecialty focus, practice setting and employment structure. Dermatologist compensation reaches $497,509 The $497,509 average establishes a current national compensation benchmark for US dermatologists. Dermatology encompasses the diagnosis and treatment of a broad range of conditions affecting the skin, hair and nails, including inflammatory skin diseases, skin cancers and other acute and chronic dermatological conditions. Clinical practice can combine outpatient consultations and long-term disease management with procedures such as biopsies, excisions and other dermatologic surgery. Individual dermatologists may also develop particular expertise in areas such as medical dermatology, dermatologic oncology, pediatric dermatology or procedural and surgical dermatology, creating considerable variation between individual practices. For dermatologists reviewing their current compensation or considering a new position, the Doximity figure provides a useful specialty-specific reference against which an individual package can be assessed. What influences dermatologist compensation? Dermatology combines high-volume outpatient care with diagnostic and procedural activity, meaning patient volume, procedure mix, subspecialty focus and practice structure can all be important when evaluating individual compensation. A dermatologist whose practice focuses heavily on complex medical dermatology may have a substantially different clinical profile from one undertaking greater volumes of dermatologic procedures or surgery. Practice setting can also influence compensation. Dermatologists may work within hospitals, academic medical centres, health systems, specialist dermatology groups or independent practices, with different organisations using different salary, productivity and incentive arrangements. Geography, experience, working patterns and additional clinical, academic or leadership responsibilities may further influence an individual dermatologist's compensation. These factors mean the $497,509 national average should be treated as a benchmark rather than an expected salary for every dermatologist. What the latest figure means for dermatologists For US dermatologists, $497,509 provides a contemporary national reference point when benchmarking existing compensation or assessing a prospective position. When reviewing an employment opportunity, dermatologists should consider headline compensation alongside expected patient volumes, procedure mix, working hours, productivity requirements and the overall structure of the practice. The composition of the patient population is also important. Dermatologists managing substantial numbers of patients with chronic inflammatory diseases may have different clinical demands from those whose practices contain a greater proportion of procedural or surgical dermatology. The latest Doximity figure therefore provides dermatologists with a useful starting point for evaluating compensation while recognising that individual earnings can differ substantially according to the clinical and contractual characteristics of a particular role. About the data The Doximity 2026 Physician Compensation Report provides compensation benchmarks across a wide range of US medical and surgical specialties. The specialty figures represent average compensation and should be treated as national benchmarks. An individual dermatologist’s compensation may differ according to geography, experience, patient volume, procedure mix, subspecialty, practice setting and other professional factors.

Radiologist compensation reaches $609,684 The $609,684 average establishes a current national compensation benchmark for US radiologists. Radiology encompasses the interpretation of imaging across modalities including X-ray, computed tomography (CT), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), ultrasound and other diagnostic technologies. Individual radiologists may also develop specialist expertise in areas such as neuroradiology, musculoskeletal imaging, breast imaging, cardiothoracic imaging, abdominal imaging or pediatric radiology. These different practice profiles can result in substantially different workloads and employment arrangements. For radiologists reviewing their current compensation or considering a new opportunity, the Doximity figure provides a useful specialty-specific reference against which an individual package can be assessed. What influences radiologist compensation? Radiology is heavily influenced by imaging volume, case complexity, subspecialty expertise and working arrangements. The number and type of studies interpreted can have a significant bearing on a radiologist's workload. Emergency and overnight coverage can also be an important component of some roles, particularly where practices provide continuous imaging services to hospitals and emergency departments. Practice setting can further influence compensation. Radiologists may work within private radiology groups, hospitals, academic medical centres, health systems or remote and teleradiology services, each potentially using different compensation and productivity structures. Experience, geography, call commitments, leadership responsibilities and academic or teaching duties may also affect individual compensation. These factors mean the $609,684 national average should be treated as a benchmark rather than an expected salary for every radiologist. What the latest figure means for radiologists For US radiologists, $609,684 provides a contemporary national reference point when benchmarking current compensation or assessing a prospective position. When reviewing an opportunity, radiologists should consider headline compensation alongside expected imaging volumes, modality and subspecialty mix, call requirements, working hours and productivity expectations. Working arrangements are particularly important within radiology. The expansion of remote image interpretation and teleradiology means physicians may encounter substantially different schedules and employment models even when performing similar diagnostic work.
