Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
This record is dominated by consulting fees: $27,500 of the $28,329 with a category attached, or 97.1%. Citieffe, Inc. accounts for 97.1% of it on its own, with 11 other manufacturers making up the rest. Reporting peaked in 2023 at $14,124 and has fallen 99.7% since, to $46 in 2025. Among orthopedic surgery clinicians in FL with any reported payments, this total sits in the top 10% — high for the specialty, which is a reason to read the composition above rather than the number alone.
Across 25 payments — averaging $1133.15 each. Meals, travel, consulting and speaking fees, gifts and royalties reported by drug and device makers.

How this compares
$28,329 in reported general payments places this provider in the 90th percentile of 37 orthopedic surgery providers in Florida.
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.
