Has Jeffrey Sonson received payments from drug or device companies?

Does a payment mean Jeffrey Sonson did something wrong?

No. Federal law requires drug and device makers to report almost every transfer of value to a physician, including a $14 sandwich at a lunch presentation. Consulting fees, research funding and royalties to device inventors are ordinary, legal parts of medicine. This site reports what was disclosed; it makes no allegation.

Payments from drug & device makers

What this record shows

The money is spread across several categories — gifts (33.0%), food and beverage and travel and lodging — rather than concentrated in one kind of arrangement. 17 manufacturers reported payments, led by A-dec, Inc. at 35.6% of the total. Reporting peaked in 2022 at $3,197 and has fallen 70.2% since, to $951 in 2025. Among general practice clinicians in HI 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.
