Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
This record is dominated by consulting fees: $36,746 of the $41,382 with a category attached, or 88.8%. Sanofi US Services Inc. accounts for 63.9% of it on its own, with 15 other manufacturers making up the rest. 2025 is the largest year on record at $39,194, more than ten times the $926 reported in 2019. Among pediatrics 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 109 payments — averaging $379.65 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.
