Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
The money is spread across several categories — consulting fees (54.7%), other and food and beverage — rather than concentrated in one kind of arrangement. 19 manufacturers reported payments, led by Stryker at 56.0% of the total. Reporting peaked in 2023 at $33,875 and has fallen 95.5% since, to $1,522 in 2025. Among diagnostic radiology clinicians in TX 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 142 payments — averaging $385.56 each. Meals, travel, consulting and speaking fees, gifts and royalties reported by drug and device makers.

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
$54,750 in reported general payments places this provider in the 95th percentile of 2,506 diagnostic radiology 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.
Most prescribed under Part D
| Drug | Claims | Cost to plans & patients |
|---|---|---|
| ClopidogrelClopidogrel Bisulfate | 16 | $157 |
Paid to pharmacies, not to this prescriber.
