Moncton radiologist is N.B.'s highest paid doctor

A doctor in Moncton is the highest-paid doctor in New Brunswick.

Dr. Martin Finnegan, a diagnostic radiologist at the Dr. Georges-L.-Dumont University Hospital Centre in Moncton, was paid between $1.9 million and $1.95 million,according to the office of the comptroller in itsannual report on physician compensation.

The report is for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2020, and only lists doctors' compensation as a range, not a specific number.

Finnegan is no stranger to the list, having last topped it back in 2018 with between $1.65 million and $1.7 million.

As a diagnostic radiologist, Finnegan would diagnose diseases and injuries using medical imaging equipment like X- rays, CT scans and MRI scans.

Other top earners

Last year's highest paid doctor is now just below Finnegan as the second-highest paid.

Dr. Sunita MacMullin, a family physician in Sussex, made between $1.85 million and $1.9 million

MacMullin made news back in 2018 when she moved her thriving practice from Fredericton to Sussex after she said colleagues in the city wouldn't provide on-call support.

Rounding out the top three is Robert Javidi, an ophthalmologist with a practice in Bathurst, who made $1.65 million to $1.7 million.
