Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
Almost everything reported here is food and beverage — 99.6% of the total across 84 separate payments, which is the pattern of a clinician who attends manufacturer presentations rather than one with a consulting arrangement. 31 manufacturers reported payments, led by Integra Lifesciences Corporation at 36.4% of the total. Reporting peaked in 2024 at $518 and has fallen 79.2% since, to $108 in 2025. That places this record below the midpoint for neurological surgery clinicians in NJ, where the typical reported total is $3,509.
Across 84 payments — averaging $25.10 each. Meals, travel, consulting and speaking fees, gifts and royalties reported by drug and device makers.
