Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
This record is dominated by speaking fees: $387,150 of the $422,636 with a category attached, or 91.6%. AbbVie accounts for 99.8% of it on its own, with 10 other manufacturers making up the rest. Reporting peaked in 2023 at $144,489 and has fallen 54.3% since, to $66,076 in 2025. Among dermatology clinicians in NY 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 402 payments — averaging $1051.33 each. Meals, travel, consulting and speaking fees, gifts and royalties reported by drug and device makers.

- KYBELLA$1,950
How this compares
$422,636 in reported general payments places this provider in the 95th percentile of 1,151 dermatology providers in New York.
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 |
|---|---|---|
| Ketoconazole | 32 | $324 |
| Minoxidil | 13 | $223 |
| Triamcinolone Acetonide | 11 | $78 |
