What the wage survey shows
Median
$236,000
Bottom tenth
$66,260
Where the survey stops
$239,200
The federal wage survey has no gastroenterology category. It files the specialty under Physicians, All Other, where the median is $236,000 a year and the bottom tenth sit near $66,260. There is no published top figure at all: once pay passes $239,200 a year the survey stops counting and reports everyone above that as one lump. So the high number here is a cut-off, not a ceiling.
