Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
This record is dominated by consulting fees: $16,349 of the $24,233 with a category attached, or 67.5%. AbbVie accounts for 64.1% of it on its own, with 22 other manufacturers making up the rest. Reporting peaked in 2024 at $10,326 and has fallen 89.3% since, to $1,103 in 2025. Among plastic surgery clinicians in CA 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 119 payments — averaging $203.64 each. Meals, travel, consulting and speaking fees, gifts and royalties reported by drug and device makers.
