Private office : Internal Medicine/Addiction Medicine with consultations on chronic pain/addiction Suboxone prescriber. Office is across street from hospital with easy ability to see patients in hospital. I have been past president of California Society of Addiction Medicine. I am 73 y/o. I will be practicing for several more years but am interested in bringing another internist/addictionist into the community and in a couple of years tapering my practice. The community often asks me for consultations regarding patients with chronic pain because of the difficulty determining addiction vs chronic pain vs mood disorder. I would like to discuss what you need as a guarantee for income as you get your practice going. I expect that it would be at least $180,000.00 in the first year assuming working 50 weeks per year.
