Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
This record is dominated by speaking fees: $537,933 of the $612,367 with a category attached, or 87.8%. AbbVie accounts for 100.0% of it on its own, with 1 other manufacturer making up the rest. 2025 is the largest year on record at $243,083, more than ten times the $223 reported in 2021. Among surgical clinicians in WA 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 885 payments — averaging $691.94 each. Meals, travel, consulting and speaking fees, gifts and royalties reported by drug and device makers.

General payments by program year
Who reported the general payments
Companies are grouped under their corporate parent — a single manufacturer often files under several CMS reporting entities. Research and ownership payments are counted separately and are not in this table.
| Company | Payments | Total |
|---|---|---|
| AbbVie(2 entities) | 884 | $612,228 |
| Galderma Laboratories, L.p. | 1 | $139 |
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.
How this compares
$612,367 in reported general payments places this provider in the 95th percentile of 404 surgical providers in Washington.
