Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
The money is spread across several categories — speaking fees (58.2%), food and beverage and travel and lodging — rather than concentrated in one kind of arrangement. AbbVie accounts for 78.4% of it on its own, with 17 other manufacturers making up the rest. Reporting peaked in 2022 at $14,048 and has fallen 78.3% since, to $3,044 in 2025. Among plastic surgery clinicians in TX 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.
Across 157 payments — averaging $173.86 each. Meals, travel, consulting and speaking fees, gifts and royalties reported by drug and device makers.
