Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
This record is dominated by consulting fees: $1,389,186 of the $1,401,946 with a category attached, or 99.1%. Pfizer accounts for 68.5% of it on its own, with 1 other manufacturer making up the rest. Reporting peaked in 2020 at $511,272 and has fallen 80.0% since, to $102,383 in 2025. Among rheumatology clinicians in NJ 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 128 payments — averaging $10,953 each. Meals, travel, consulting and speaking fees, gifts and royalties reported by drug and device makers.

| Janssen Research & Development, LLC | 17 | $441,468 |
What the payments were tied to
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.
- Tremfya$441,468
