Payments from drug & device makers

What this record shows

This record is dominated by consulting fees: $111,818 of the $151,984 with a category attached, or 73.6%. Sonendo Inc accounts for 99.9% of it on its own, with 2 other manufacturers making up the rest. 2025 is the largest year on record at $42,201, more than ten times the $404 reported in 2019. Among endodontics 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.
