Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
The money is spread across several categories — food and beverage (52.9%), consulting fees and speaking fees — rather than concentrated in one kind of arrangement. 16 manufacturers reported payments, led by Bausch & Lomb Americas Inc. at 34.9% of the total. Reporting peaked in 2024 at $4,453 and has fallen 73.5% since, to $1,178 in 2025.
Across 123 payments — averaging $80.58 each. Meals, travel, consulting and speaking fees, gifts and royalties reported by drug and device makers.

General payments by program year
Who reported the general payments

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.

How this compares
$9,911 in reported general payments places this provider in the 85th percentile of 1,405 ophthalmology providers in Florida.
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.
Most prescribed under Part D
| Drug | Claims | Cost to plans & patients |
|---|---|---|
| Ketorolac Tromethamine | 27 | $468 |
| Brimonidine Tartrate | 13 | $189 |
| Hydrocodone-AcetaminophenHydrocodone/Acetaminophen | 19 | $117 |
Paid to pharmacies, not to this prescriber.
