NEUROSURGERY COMPENSATION SURVEY

Note: these numbers are averages. They do not reflect the high end or low end of each region. Starting compensation ranges from as low as $350,000 to as high as $750,000. Factors contributing to highs and lows are community need (oversupply or undersupply of specialists), sense of urgency, managed care penetration / level of reimbursements, and/or liability costs. 

2005 MedHIRE Survey
Neurosurgeons: Average starting compensation ranges from $400,000 to $800,000
Please note that this is starting compensation, thus it does not indicate the earning potential at a practice.

2003-2004 AMA Survey
The AMA Survey is not a statistically accurate sample, since it is based purely on which neurosurgeons respond to their questionnaire. However, at least it gives a sense of compensation.
