Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
This record is dominated by speaking fees: $136,948 of the $147,808 with a category attached, or 92.7%. Galderma Laboratories, L.p. accounts for 97.7% of it on its own, with 3 other manufacturers making up the rest. Reporting peaked in 2024 at $86,944 and has fallen 53.3% since, to $40,585 in 2025. Among family 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.
