Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
Almost everything reported here is food and beverage — 100.0% of the total across 33 separate payments, which is the pattern of a clinician who attends manufacturer presentations rather than one with a consulting arrangement. 9 manufacturers reported payments, led by Boston Scientific at 36.0% of the total. Reporting peaked in 2021 at $480 and has fallen 96.2% since, to $18 in 2025. That places this record below the midpoint for obstetrics & gynecology clinicians in GA, where the typical reported total is $835.
Across 33 payments — averaging $28.91 each. Meals, travel, consulting and speaking fees, gifts and royalties reported by drug and device makers.

What the payments were tied to
Products named in the reported payments. Only payments of $100 or more are attributed here — the typical reported payment nationally is a meal worth about $16, and listing those product-by-product would be noise.
