Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
This record is dominated by food and beverage: $3,595 of the $4,780 with a category attached, or 75.2%. It is spread thinly across 22 manufacturers, the largest accounting for just 23.6% — the pattern of someone who eats at a lot of different presentations. Reporting peaked in 2020 at $1,815 and has fallen 99.2% since, to $14 in 2023. That places this record below the midpoint for vascular surgery clinicians in GA, where the typical reported total is $5,638.
Across 81 payments — averaging $59.01 each. Meals, travel, consulting and speaking fees, gifts and royalties reported by drug and device makers.
