Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
This record is dominated by speaking fees: $64,536 of the $98,313 with a category attached, or 65.6%. AbbVie accounts for 79.0% of it on its own, with 10 other manufacturers making up the rest. Reporting peaked in 2023 at $28,176 and has fallen 81.6% since, to $5,171 in 2025. Among plastic and reconstructive surgery 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 245 payments — averaging $401.28 each. Meals, travel, consulting and speaking fees, gifts and royalties reported by drug and device makers.
