Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
The money is spread across several categories — food and beverage (53.9%), consulting fees and travel and lodging — rather than concentrated in one kind of arrangement. 12 manufacturers reported payments, led by AbbVie at 51.6% of the total. Reporting peaked in 2021 at $5,637 and has fallen 89.3% since, to $602 in 2025. Among surgery clinicians in SC with any reported payments, this total sits in the top 10% — high for the specialty, which is a reason to read the composition above rather than the number alone.
Across 171 payments — averaging $83.21 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.
How this compares
$14,229 in reported general payments places this provider in the 90th percentile of 553 surgery providers in South Carolina.
