Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
Almost everything reported here is food and beverage — 100.0% of the total across 87 separate payments, which is the pattern of a clinician who attends manufacturer presentations rather than one with a consulting arrangement. 18 manufacturers reported payments, led by Medtronic at 26.0% of the total. Reporting peaked in 2023 at $2,329 and has fallen 66.3% since, to $784 in 2025. Among plastic surgery within the head & neck clinicians in AZ 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 87 payments — averaging $75.62 each. Meals, travel, consulting and speaking fees, gifts and royalties reported by drug and device makers.

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.
Most prescribed under Part D
| Drug | Claims | Cost to plans & patients |
|---|---|---|
| Ipratropium Bromide | 45 | $1,197 |
| Fluticasone Propionate | 39 | $485 |
| Montelukast Sodium | 26 | $295 |
| Amoxicillin-Clavulanate PotassAmoxicillin/Potassium Clav | 20 | $237 |
