Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
This record is dominated by consulting fees: $65,856 of the $98,059 with a category attached, or 67.2%. Stryker accounts for 80.2% of it on its own, with 10 other manufacturers making up the rest. Reporting peaked in 2019 at $59,485 and has fallen 98.5% since, to $921 in 2025. Among oral and maxillofacial surgery clinicians in NC 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 156 payments — averaging $628.58 each. Meals, travel, consulting and speaking fees, gifts and royalties reported by drug and device makers.
