Honestly, if you bump that up to 6 patients an hour that's just $210/hour, even if the booked up 100% of the time. That doesn't seem like enough to run an entire practice.

If he doesn't have to deal with all the administrative work, the overhead will probably reduce drastically.

The insurance system in the US is so fucked up that it wouldn't surprise me if a big part of the doctor's fee are eaten by dealing with insurers.

Anyway, I am pretty sure the guy didn't choose 35$ blindly.

And let's not forget that it is only for a consultation. If he does other acts, he charges more.
