To be able to tell a patient that a family member has a chance at a new life or to rid someone or cure someone of a disability, it’s a very rewarding experience.” The median pay for general surgeons amounts to $260,000 while the top pay is at $412,000. “It’s a lot of training, but I think it’s worth it,” the surgeon adds.
