Top salaries of $250,000 or more are not uncommon in this profession. Although these are not figures specifically for geriatricians, they are comparable to what these specialists earn. Earnings are also affected by what area of the country a physician works in, type of employer, size of the practice, and even his or her reputation.

Benefits depend on the employer, but usually include standard items such as vacation time and health insurance.
