Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
This record is dominated by consulting fees: $58,940 of the $59,666 with a category attached, or 98.8%. Alcresta Therapeutics, Inc. accounts for 94.7% of it on its own, with 2 other manufacturers making up the rest. Reporting peaked in 2021 at $53,250 and has fallen 99.8% since, to $102 in 2025. Among pediatric surgery clinicians in MA 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.
