How much money do neurologists make?

It all depends on their subspecialty. A neurologist who does EMG's or sleep studies makes more than someone who does cognitive or behavioural neurology, for instance. As a rule the more procedures one does, the more money one makes. It also varies quite a bit by location but just to give you an idea, a neurologist in a busy private practice can probably make 200-300 K per annum. In academic practice they make about 100 K less than that. These figures are for initial salaries.

First of all, neurologists are not surgeons. Neurosurgeons operate. Neurologists order tests, perform examinations and prescribe treatments. There are SO many variables that it is impossible to say. What area of the country? Academic or private practice? Solo or group? How many hours worked? In general, surgical specialists make more than medical ones. They take more risks and work longer hours, which = more money.
