Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows

Reporting peaked in 2022 at $35,613 and has fallen 74.8% since, to $8,964 in 2025. Among obstetrics & gynecology clinicians in CA with any reported payments, this total sits in the top 5% — high for the specialty, which is a reason to read the composition above rather than the number alone.
