Gastroenterology Physician Salary in New York (2026)
A Gastroenterology physician practicing in New York can expect a base salary inside the national Gastroenterology band of $440K to $660K, with the median tracking close to $510K. The New York variation on that number is driven mostly by anchor-employer comp structure in New York City, Buffalo, Rochester, Yonkers, Syracuse, Albany, Long Island and by shortage-area incentive stacking outside those metros — not by New York cost-of-living alone.

Where Gastroenterology offers land highest in New York
New York is one of the largest physician-recruitment markets in the country, anchored by NYC Health + Hospitals, Northwell Health, Mount Sinai, NYU Langone, NewYork-Presbyterian, Montefiore, Kaleida Health, URMC, and a deep upstate hospital network. For Gastroenterology, the highest-comp New York opportunities I see are typically not in the urban core of New York City — they sit in rural and HPSA-designated counties where the same Gastroenterology role carries a 10-25% base premium plus signing bonuses of $30K-$100K and loan repayment of $50K-$200K layered on top of base. That stacking can push an New York Gastroenterology offer comfortably above the $660K national ceiling in year-one total cash.
New York incentive programs that boost Gastroenterology take-home
The Doctors Across New York (DANY) program supports physicians serving in underserved areas of the state. The New York State Conrad State 30 J-1 waiver program is competitive and oversubscribed in most fiscal years. NHSC loan repayment is widely used at FQHCs across the South Bronx, central Brooklyn, and rural North Country and Southern Tier counties. For Gastroenterology specifically, these federal and state programs frequently add the equivalent of $30K-$60K per year of pre-tax value over the first three years of service.
How I benchmark a Gastroenterology offer in New York
When a Gastroenterology candidate sends me an New York offer, I check three things in order: (1) where the base lands inside the $440K–$660K band relative to MGMA regional percentiles, (2) the wRVU conversion factor and ramp/threshold structure, and (3) the call burden and stipend. New York's licensing pace also matters for ramp timing: The New York State Education Department Office of the Professions licenses physicians with a typical timeline of 90-180 days for US-trained physicians.
