Vincent’s Answer

As an ophthalmologist, I typically see 35-45 patients in a given clinic day. I operate (cataracts, lasik, etc.) typically 1-2 days a week. The good thing about my specialty is that there is an excellent mix between clinic and surgical care.

Valerie’s Answer

Hi Alicia,
Physicians are extremely busy; although certain specialties are busier than others. However, once you have your own practice you are able to see as many patients as you want. If you work for anyone else, they will likely want to you see as many patients as possible, because this means they are getting paid more. From experience, I have seen in a small practice a physician doubles the amount of patients that the Physician-assistant had. Therefore, something like this might be a better option :)
Best of luck
