I am very active in the New Jersey surgery center community and am often called by head hunters for positions in the tri-state area. For a three-room facility with around 4,500 cases a year, I see most places offering $120-140k as a base salary based on experience. In addition, I have known of centers that give the administrator a bonus from 0.5-2 percent of owner distributions or net profit. I also know of centers that the administrator is able to buy a percent of over a certain period of time. I know several administrators in New Jersey whose year end compensation was between $150-250k.
