Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
The money is spread across several categories — travel and lodging (45.8%), consulting fees and speaking fees — rather than concentrated in one kind of arrangement. 13 manufacturers reported payments, led by Intuitive Surgical at 36.8% of the total. 2025 is the largest year on record at $19,086, more than ten times the $167 reported in 2019. Among colon & rectal surgery clinicians in NY 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 91 payments — averaging $456.07 each. Meals, travel, consulting and speaking fees, gifts and royalties reported by drug and device makers.

How this compares
$41,502 in reported general payments places this provider in the 95th percentile of 177 colon & rectal surgery providers in New York.
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.
