Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
This record is dominated by consulting fees: $58,530 of the $85,872 with a category attached, or 68.2%. 19 manufacturers reported payments, led by Arthrex at 45.3% of the total. Reporting peaked in 2024 at $28,648 and has fallen 63.8% since, to $10,371 in 2025. Among surgery clinicians in FL 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.

How this compares
$85,872 in reported general payments places this provider in the 95th percentile of 1,569 surgery providers in Florida.
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 |
|---|---|---|
| Tramadol Hcl | 33 | $68 |
Paid to pharmacies, not to this prescriber.
