What lung doctors make
Median for the group
$265,930
Bottom tenth
$69,170
Top tenth
$452,360
There is no separate federal wage line for lung doctors, so the figures come from Physicians, All Other, a catch-all for specialties the survey does not name. In the 2025 federal wage survey that group's median is $265,930 a year, the bottom tenth earn $69,170 or less and the top tenth $452,360 or more. These figures describe the whole group, not this specialty alone, and they count only physicians paid a wage, so doctors who own their practice are largely missing.
