What this record shows
This record is dominated by consulting fees: $87,175 of the $120,605 with a category attached, or 72.3%. Stryker accounts for 82.7% of it on its own, with 24 other manufacturers making up the rest. Among orthopaedic surgery clinicians in GA with any reported payments, this total sits in the top 10% — high for the specialty, which is a reason to read the composition above rather than the number alone.

How this compares
$120,605 in reported general payments places this provider in the 90th percentile of 654 orthopaedic surgery providers in Georgia.
Medicare billing
What this is not: this is the amount Original Medicare Part B allowed for services this provider billed in 2024. It is not their income. It excludes Medicare Advantage — now more than half of all Medicare enrollment — along with Medicaid and all commercial insurance, and it is gross practice revenue before staff, rent, supplies and malpractice premiums. CMS also suppresses any figure covering ten or fewer patients, so low-volume providers appear smaller than they are.
