Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
The money is spread across several categories — gifts (42.3%), food and beverage and speaking fees — rather than concentrated in one kind of arrangement. Straumann USA LLC accounts for 85.9% of it on its own, with 10 other manufacturers making up the rest. Reporting peaked in 2021 at $8,397 and has fallen 93.1% since, to $579 in 2025. Among oral and maxillofacial surgery clinicians in LA 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 179 payments — averaging $102.65 each. Meals, travel, consulting and speaking fees, gifts and royalties reported by drug and device makers.
