Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
This record is dominated by food and beverage: $1,803 of the $2,090 with a category attached, or 86.2%. It is spread thinly across 19 manufacturers, the largest accounting for just 13.5% — the pattern of someone who eats at a lot of different presentations. Reporting peaked in 2019 at $623 and has fallen 57.0% since, to $268 in 2025. That places this record below the midpoint for gastroenterology clinicians in NY, where the typical reported total is $1,827.
Across 97 payments — averaging $21.55 each. Meals, travel, consulting and speaking fees, gifts and royalties reported by drug and device makers.
