Here are five numbers scaring gastroenterologists:
1. 3% pay decline
According to Medscape’s Gastroenterologist Compensation Report 2025, gastroenterologists saw their average annual salary drop from $512,000 in 2023 to $495,000 in 2024, a 3% decline.
2. Only 37% feel fairly compensated
Despite their high earnings, only 37% of gastroenterologists feel they are fairly compensated. This dissatisfaction is compounded by mounting pressures from payer reimbursement cuts, increased administrative burdens, and a growing trend of private equity influence in GI practices.
