Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
The money is spread across several categories — consulting fees (38.0%), food and beverage and travel and lodging — rather than concentrated in one kind of arrangement. 17 manufacturers reported payments, led by Dutch Ophthalmic, USA at 57.4% of the total. Reporting peaked in 2022 at $5,189 and has fallen 95.0% since, to $261 in 2025. Among otolaryngology clinicians in TX 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 162 payments — averaging $97.52 each. Meals, travel, consulting and speaking fees, gifts and royalties reported by drug and device makers.

How this compares
$15,798 in reported general payments places this provider in the 90th percentile of 729 otolaryngology providers in Texas.
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.
