Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
The money is spread across several categories — speaking fees (50.3%), consulting fees and travel and lodging — rather than concentrated in one kind of arrangement. Clinician's Choice Dental Products Inc. accounts for 63.0% of it on its own, with 14 other manufacturers making up the rest. Reporting peaked in 2020 at $102,421 and has fallen 86.2% since, to $14,090 in 2025. Among general practice clinicians in IA 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 101 payments — averaging $3632.58 each. Meals, travel, consulting and speaking fees, gifts and royalties reported by drug and device makers.
