Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
Almost everything reported here is food and beverage — 100.0% of the total across 135 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 23 manufacturers, the largest accounting for just 23.4% — the pattern of someone who eats at a lot of different presentations. Reporting peaked in 2023 at $1,460 and has fallen 83.3% since, to $244 in 2025. That places this record below the midpoint for dermatology clinicians in GA, where the typical reported total is $3,907.
Across 135 payments — averaging $26.34 each. Meals, travel, consulting and speaking fees, gifts and royalties reported by drug and device makers.

What the payments were tied to
Products named in the reported payments. Only payments of $100 or more are attributed here — the typical reported payment nationally is a meal worth about $16, and listing those product-by-product would be noise.
