Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
This record is dominated by food and beverage: $2,843 of the $3,265 with a category attached, or 87.1%. It is spread thinly across 25 manufacturers, the largest accounting for just 17.3% — the pattern of someone who eats at a lot of different presentations. Reporting peaked in 2021 at $887 and has fallen 84.0% since, to $142 in 2024. That places this record below the midpoint for procedural dermatology clinicians in NY, where the typical reported total is $3,601.
Across 131 payments — averaging $24.92 each. Meals, travel, consulting and speaking fees, gifts and royalties reported by drug and device makers.

Products named in the reported payments. Only payments of $100 or more are attributed here — the typical reported payment nationally is a meal worth about $16, and listing those product-by-product would be noise.

How this compares
$3,265 in reported general payments places this provider in the 45th percentile of 69 procedural dermatology providers in New York.
Medicare billing
What this is not: this is the amount Original Medicare Part B allowed for services this provider billed in 2024. It is not their income. It excludes Medicare Advantage — now more than half of all Medicare enrollment — along with Medicaid and all commercial insurance, and it is gross practice revenue before staff, rent, supplies and malpractice premiums. CMS also suppresses any figure covering ten or fewer patients, so low-volume providers appear smaller than they are.
Most prescribed under Part D
| Drug | Claims | Cost to plans & patients |
|---|---|---|
| Dupixent PenDupilumab | 12 | $43,267 |
| Ketoconazole | 14 | $161 |
| Triamcinolone Acetonide | 11 | $114 |
| Hydrocortisone | 12 | $61 |
