Your earning potential at Doctors Medical Center Modesto is exceptional, driven by a combination of high RVU productivity, strong pay rates, and one of the most lucrative call structures available in California. This is a place where your clinical effort directly translates into financial opportunity, supported by a system that understands the realities of urology and values the work required to meet community demand.
You will begin with a guaranteed salary tied to Fair Market Value and supported by RVU expectations in the 6,000 to 7,000 range. Physicians coming into this role often exceed those benchmarks well before the end of their guarantee period, and many transition to pure productivity within six months. The RVU rate is highly competitive, centered around the mid-60-dollar range, with the potential for increased rates depending on performance and FMV review. With referral volume overflowing and clinic schedules filling instantly, the path to strong productivity is already in place.
Call compensation adds a powerful second earnings stream. Each 24-hour call shift at Doctors Medical Center pays $3,000, and you have the option to add another $3,000 by covering a nearby partner hospital simultaneously. This structure rewards physicians who want to take on additional responsibility without forcing it upon those who prefer a more balanced lifestyle. For many urologists here, call pay alone forms a significant portion of their annual income.
The benefits that accompany the role reinforce both stability and long-term security. As a W2 employed physician, you receive comprehensive malpractice coverage with tail included, full medical benefits, CME funds, and relocation assistance. While a 1099 arrangement is possible, most physicians choose the W2 model for its protection and overall value. As you grow your practice and RVU output, you will see your earnings scale rapidly, with many urologists at DMC historically reaching high six-figure incomes driven by both productivity and call.
This structure empowers you to shape your financial trajectory, whether your goal is work-life balance, top-tier earnings, or a blend of both. The combination of system support, unmatched demand, and generous call pay creates a compensation model difficult to match anywhere in the state.
