It is spread thinly across 29 manufacturers, the largest accounting for just 20.3% — the pattern of someone who eats at a lot of different presentations.
Across 67 payments — averaging $20.35 each. Meals, travel, consulting and speaking fees, gifts and royalties reported by drug and device makers.

How this compares
$1,363 in reported general payments places this provider in the 60th percentile of 2,438 obstetrics & gynecology 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

| ProgesteroneProgesterone, Micronized | 37 | $1,550 |
| Estradiol (Twice Weekly)Estradiol | 14 | $1,231 |
