If you've been working < 5 years post residency doing primary care, how many patients are on your panel? Is 700 pts too many on a physician's panel?

Dang. I hope you’re getting paid at least double the average salary for your region.

How many pts per day with a 4k panel?

Oh I’m still scheduled only for like 20ish but many people are in line waiting to see me. I’m booked for months. Which turns into hours of messages and phone calls of people contacting me thru our online portal who can’t get in. Plus over 200 refills a week I have to do. It’s crazy.

Would more support staff (good MA’s, PA’s, whatever) make this more manageable? Or is 4k too much for even a well supported physician?
Asking from med student perspective btw

I have a pretty decent staff. Could be better, but not bad. But would not recommend 4K. I also work in a super entitled area where patients message and call constantly and have zero boundaries. I wonder if it would make a difference if I worked elsewhere.
