Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
The money is spread across several categories — consulting fees (44.8%), travel and lodging and speaking fees — rather than concentrated in one kind of arrangement. Alcon accounts for 87.1% of it on its own, with 9 other manufacturers making up the rest. Reporting peaked in 2019 at $47,921 and has fallen 97.0% since, to $1,417 in 2025. Among optometrist clinicians in NJ 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 350 payments — averaging $282.53 each. Meals, travel, consulting and speaking fees, gifts and royalties reported by drug and device makers.

How this compares
$98,886 in reported general payments places this provider in the 95th percentile of 1,357 optometrist providers in New Jersey.
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.
