Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
Almost everything reported here is food and beverage — 92.5% of the total across 165 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 29 manufacturers, the largest accounting for just 11.2% — the pattern of someone who eats at a lot of different presentations. Reporting peaked in 2021 at $955 and has fallen 70.4% since, to $282 in 2025. That places this record below the midpoint for dermatology clinicians in TX, where the typical reported total is $4,085.
Across 165 payments — averaging $20.53 each. Meals, travel, consulting and speaking fees, gifts and royalties reported by drug and device makers.
