Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
The money is spread across several categories — food and beverage (57.7%), education and travel and lodging — rather than concentrated in one kind of arrangement. 26 manufacturers reported payments, led by Stryker at 47.8% of the total. Reporting peaked in 2019 at $4,057 and has fallen 79.5% since, to $833 in 2025.
Across 139 payments — averaging $61.65 each. Meals, travel, consulting and speaking fees, gifts and royalties reported by drug and device makers.

How this compares
$8,569 in reported general payments places this provider in the 75th percentile of 92 foot & ankle surgery providers in Louisiana.
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.

| Ciclopirox | 15 | $260 |
