Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
This record is dominated by travel and lodging: $53,495 of the $83,637 with a category attached, or 64.0%. Trimed, Inc. accounts for 85.7% of it on its own, with 19 other manufacturers making up the rest. 2025 is the largest year on record at $58,255, more than ten times the $3,203 reported in 2022. Among foot and ankle surgery 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.
Across 136 payments — averaging $614.98 each. Meals, travel, consulting and speaking fees, gifts and royalties reported by drug and device makers.

How this compares
$83,637 in reported general payments places this provider in the 95th percentile of 1,126 foot and ankle surgery providers in California.
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 |
|---|---|---|
| Oxycodone Hcl | 60 | $256 |
| Ondansetron OdtOndansetron | 49 | $256 |
| Gabapentin | 58 | $128 |
| Meloxicam | 37 | $57 |
