Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
The money is spread across several categories — education (47.0%), travel and lodging and food and beverage — rather than concentrated in one kind of arrangement. Intuitive Surgical accounts for 80.6% of it on its own, with 16 other manufacturers making up the rest. Reporting peaked in 2023 at $11,110 and has fallen 93.3% since, to $740 in 2025. Among colon & rectal surgery clinicians in NY 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 57 payments — averaging $317.40 each. Meals, travel, consulting and speaking fees, gifts and royalties reported by drug and device makers.

How this compares
$18,092 in reported general payments places this provider in the 90th percentile of 177 colon & rectal surgery providers in New York.
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.
