Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
Almost everything reported here is food and beverage — 100.0% of the total across 118 separate payments, which is the pattern of a clinician who attends manufacturer presentations rather than one with a consulting arrangement. 18 manufacturers reported payments, led by AbbVie at 48.8% of the total. 2025 is the largest year on record at $1,147, 8.1 times the $141 reported in 2021. That places this record below the midpoint for gastroenterology clinicians in LA, where the typical reported total is $3,631.
Across 118 payments — averaging $26.89 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.
