Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
Almost everything reported here is food and beverage — 100.0% of the total across 20 separate payments, which is the pattern of a clinician who attends manufacturer presentations rather than one with a consulting arrangement. 8 manufacturers reported payments, led by Boston Scientific at 48.8% of the total. Reporting peaked in 2019 at $85 and has fallen 65.1% since, to $30 in 2025. That places this record below the midpoint for neurological surgery clinicians in OH, where the typical reported total is $2,744.
Across 20 payments — averaging $17.71 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

| Company | Payments | Total |
|---|---|---|
| Boston Scientific | 11 | $173 |
| Zimmer Biomet | 2 | $59 |
| GE HealthCare | 1 | $30 |
| Lilly USA, LLC | 2 | $24 |

How this compares
$354 in reported general payments places this provider in the 20th percentile of 301 neurological surgery providers in Ohio.
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 |
|---|---|---|
| Gabapentin | 56 | $480 |
| Pregabalin | 21 | $380 |
| Oxycodone-AcetaminophenOxycodone Hcl/Acetaminophen | 24 | $143 |
| Hydrocodone-AcetaminophenHydrocodone/Acetaminophen | 12 | $97 |
