Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
The money is spread across several categories — education (41.5%), travel and lodging and food and beverage — rather than concentrated in one kind of arrangement. Intuitive Surgical accounts for 76.5% of it on its own, with 31 other manufacturers making up the rest. Reporting peaked in 2022 at $3,791 and has fallen 94.5% since, to $209 in 2025. Among obstetrics & gynecology clinicians in OK 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 143 payments — averaging $69.05 each. Meals, travel, consulting and speaking fees, gifts and royalties reported by drug and device makers.

How this compares
$9,875 in reported general payments places this provider in the 90th percentile of 396 obstetrics & gynecology providers in Oklahoma.
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

| Estradiol (Once Weekly)Estradiol | 12 | $723 |
| Estradiol | 17 | $458 |
