Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
Almost everything reported here is food and beverage — 100.0% of the total across 48 separate payments, which is the pattern of a clinician who attends manufacturer presentations rather than one with a consulting arrangement. It is spread thinly across 22 manufacturers, the largest accounting for just 20.2% — the pattern of someone who eats at a lot of different presentations. Reporting peaked in 2024 at $313 and has fallen 93.4% since, to $21 in 2025. That places this record below the midpoint for orthopaedic surgery clinicians in TX, where the typical reported total is $4,671.
Across 48 payments — averaging $24.58 each. Meals, travel, consulting and speaking fees, gifts and royalties reported by drug and device makers.
