Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
This record is dominated by education: $49,000 of the $57,429 with a category attached, or 85.3%. Intuitive Surgical accounts for 95.5% of it on its own, with 15 other manufacturers making up the rest. Reporting peaked in 2021 at $47,871 and has fallen 98.9% since, to $533 in 2025. Among surgery clinicians in FL 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.
