Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
The money is spread across several categories — travel and lodging (44.3%), consulting fees and speaking fees — rather than concentrated in one kind of arrangement. Nobel Biocare USA accounts for 68.3% of it on its own, with 6 other manufacturers making up the rest. Reporting peaked in 2022 at $205,381 and has fallen 66.9% since, to $68,033 in 2025. Among general practice clinicians in TX 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 240 payments — averaging $2120.05 each. Meals, travel, consulting and speaking fees, gifts and royalties reported by drug and device makers.

What the payments were tied to
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.
