Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
The money is spread across several categories — consulting fees (39.7%), speaking fees and travel and lodging — rather than concentrated in one kind of arrangement. 10 manufacturers reported payments, led by Galderma Laboratories, L.p. at 51.1% of the total. Reporting peaked in 2022 at $106,035 and has fallen 58.4% since, to $44,138 in 2025. Among otolaryngology clinicians in CA 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 783 payments — averaging $444.68 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.
