Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
The money is spread across several categories — speaking fees (39.4%), consulting fees and education — rather than concentrated in one kind of arrangement. Baxter Healthcare accounts for 79.3% of it on its own, with 38 other manufacturers making up the rest. Reporting peaked in 2020 at $49,573 and has fallen 65.9% since, to $16,907 in 2025. Among gynecology clinicians in GA 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 218 payments — averaging $721.98 each. Meals, travel, consulting and speaking fees, gifts and royalties reported by drug and device makers.

Paid to pharmacies, not to this prescriber.
Companies that both paid and supply prescribed drugs
These companies both reported payments to this provider and make drugs the provider prescribed under Medicare Part D in 2024. For most specialties this overlap is expected — a cardiologist who is paid by a cardiology drugmaker also treats heart disease. It is shown so the reader can see it, not because it implies anything on its own.
| Company | Paid to this provider | Part D cost of their drugs |
|---|---|---|
| AbbVieSynthroid | $433 | $14,679140 claims |
| Astellas Pharma US IncMyrbetriq | $67 | $14,44711 claims |
| PfizerPremarin | $15,983 | $14,26126 claims |
Reading this fairly. The Part D column is what drug plans and patients paid pharmacies — this provider received none of it, and it reflects how many patients they treat and what those drugs cost. Against peers, this provider's reported payments sit in the 95th percentile of 119 gynecology providers in Georgia.
