Survey Methodology A 10% trimmed mean was used. That is, the top and bottom 5% of responses were eliminated to locate the mean.
The 95th percentile and the 5th percentile are based on the entire sample. The "Range of Certainty" applies to the mean only.
This was about 2% for most fees and 5% for most wages shown.

Doctor, are you getting a raise this year? Understandably, your staff people want bigger pay checks every year. But if your expenses have been rising faster than your revenues, you are between a rock and a hard place. You can attend an endless number of seminars, read countless articles, and still not get action on your bottom line. That is where we can help— because there is no substitute for experienced, hands-on management... and hype is not a substitute for the real results private management consulting can provide for you. Call Advanced Practice Management today 952-921-3360. It’s time you got that raise!
