Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
This record is dominated by food and beverage: $2,776 of the $3,233 with a category attached, or 85.9%. It is spread thinly across 22 manufacturers, the largest accounting for just 14.5% — the pattern of someone who eats at a lot of different presentations. Reporting peaked in 2019 at $1,391 and has fallen 60.9% since, to $544 in 2025. That places this record below the midpoint for foot & ankle surgery clinicians in MI, where the typical reported total is $3,214.
Across 92 payments — averaging $35.15 each. Meals, travel, consulting and speaking fees, gifts and royalties reported by drug and device makers.

How this compares
$3,233 in reported general payments places this provider in the 50th percentile of 384 foot & ankle surgery providers in Michigan.
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.
