A doctor has become an influential and now earns more money on social media than her doctor’s salary of $ 300K – sharing educational videos online.
Dr. Fran Haydanek, 37, graduated from Lake Erie College of Osteopath Medicine in 2017 and began working as an obstetrician-gynecologist-Ob/Gyn-enterns 300K per year.
In 2021, Dr. Fran began posting videos on Tiktok to combat misinformation about reproductive health – such as menopause training, pregnancy and birth control.
Initially, she did not make money from social media until 2023 when she began earning through the Tiktok creator fund and she began to earn more than her salary.
So far in 2025, Dr. Fran has already earned her $ 300K salary from social media, and she says additional income has allowed her to start paying her student loan and save for retirement.
The doctor, from Rochester, New York, said: “I have three young children and a man who also works as a doctor we have played in our lives.
“Extra income has allowed us to have an emergency fund and start save for our pension.
“It’s also allowed me to take two extra days from one month to talk more time with my kids.
“We’re a little more financially, we’re working to pay our student loans.”
Dr. Fran became a fully qualified OB/Gyn in 2017, after spending 10 years – becoming qualified – raising about $ 300K.
She said: “I have always been interested in medicine and science.
“This is an area that allowed me to help people while working in science every day.
“I would say we are lucky with the salary we receive compared to our counterparts in other countries.”
In 2021, Dr. Fran was moving through social media when she encountered
She started posting educational videos on Tiktok to fight some of the misinformation she saw – including videos about medical recommendations.
Dr. Fran said: “I was spending a lot of time moving, I kept seeing the topic of work, birth and pregnancy to come out.
“I saw that there was a lot of inaccurate information there, and I feel like someone has to address the misinformation.
“I began by correcting or giving more knowledge of those misinformation posts.”
In 2023, Dr. Fran began to win a “little money” on social media, which she tripled in 2024.
So far this year, Dr. Fran has already exceeded her $ 300K salary with her posts on social media – in a few years.
Dr Fran said: “At this point in 2024, I have already done what I will do in my entire year of being a doctor.
“As a doctor, I’m already privileged with my finances.
“Extra income has made me feel safer, because even if I couldn’t do my job, I have a way to make money.
“I’m always in the opinion that social media is temporary – to me, it’s a beautiful way to strengthen my income.
“This is a nice way to advance financially when I’ve been playing with money my whole life.”
Despite her financial success with social media, Dr. Fran insists she would never leave her daily work.
Dr. Fran said her patients will remove her by seeing her posts on social media
She also wants to encourage other doctors to be agile with their abilities and earn extra income.
Dr. Fran said: “I feel very much about the work I do, and I feel a real responsibility to be there for my patients.
“I’ve worked hard to get here, and I like the work I do.
“My passion is social media, but I love my patients.
“The reason I started TIK is because I want other doctors to know that there is another way there.
“I want to encourage other doctors that they can do this, and be agile.”
