Don't just take our word for it, hear what medicine is saying about us

John B.

MD Family Medicine

Great idea and long overdue. We need to start putting our minds together and stop letting so many people get lowballed.

Andrei M.

DO Nocturnist

You can easily get lapped by your peers if you don't have the right info available - this makes it so much easier to stay informed.

John C.

MD Psychiatrist

How do I donate money to help support this project? This is incredible, and the fact it's crowdsourced and solely for actual providers is amazing

Kelly B.

MD Family Medicine

When I was an employed physician straight out of fellowship, I found out I was making 65% of my peers. I wish I had Marit then, and I'm glad it's here now.

Kira K.

MD Hospitalist

Anonymous peers helping peers level up - I don't know if it gets better than that. Thanks to everyone who's shared and paid it forward.

Jeremy C.

CRNA

Finally, we can see salaries that aren't just meaningless, high-level averages!

Thomas B.

MD Anesthesiology

FREE? You have to be kidding me! This information has always been completely locked behind a paywall.

Terrence P.

MD Family Medicine

FINALLY! I’ve been looking for something exactly like this!!

Anthony B.

MD Plastic Surgery

This is an incredibly valuable resource for physicians navigating the opaque and confusing process of compensation & contract negotiations.

Maggie A.

NP Internal Medicine

As a woman renegotiating my base pay and not able to afford gatekeeping databases, this resource is so helpful.
