Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
This record is dominated by speaking fees: $81,853 of the $97,597 with a category attached, or 83.9%. Galderma Laboratories, L.p. accounts for 88.5% of it on its own, with 1 other manufacturer making up the rest. Reporting peaked in 2024 at $42,706 and has fallen 70.6% since, to $12,567 in 2025. Among family clinicians in CA 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.

General payments by program year
Who reported the general payments
Companies are grouped under their corporate parent — a single manufacturer often files under several CMS reporting entities. Research and ownership payments are counted separately and are not in this table.
| Company | Payments | Total |
|---|---|---|
| Galderma Laboratories, L.p. | 194 | $86,340 |
| AbbVie(2 entities) | 88 | $11,256 |
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.
How this compares
$97,597 in reported general payments places this provider in the 95th percentile of 10,634 family providers in California.
