Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
Almost everything reported here is food and beverage — 92.5% of the total across 138 separate payments, which is the pattern of a clinician who attends manufacturer presentations rather than one with a consulting arrangement. 19 manufacturers reported payments, led by Novartis at 32.0% of the total. Reporting peaked in 2019 at $875 and has fallen 50.2% since, to $436 in 2025. That places this record below the midpoint for procedural dermatology clinicians in CA, where the typical reported total is $2,566.
Across 138 payments — averaging $18.99 each. Meals, travel, consulting and speaking fees, gifts and royalties reported by drug and device makers.
