Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
The money is spread across several categories — education (50.0%), food and beverage and consulting fees — rather than concentrated in one kind of arrangement. 18 manufacturers reported payments, led by Patterson Companies, Inc. at 39.3% of the total. Reporting peaked in 2022 at $2,193 and has fallen 82.3% since, to $387 in 2025. Among dentist clinicians in NY 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 91 payments — averaging $110.76 each. Meals, travel, consulting and speaking fees, gifts and royalties reported by drug and device makers.
