Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
This record is dominated by other: $460,265 of the $507,706 with a category attached, or 90.7%. Linvatec Corporation accounts for 93.2% of it on its own, with 17 other manufacturers making up the rest. Reporting peaked in 2022 at $410,572 and has fallen 98.8% since, to $4,902 in 2025. Among podiatrist clinicians in AZ 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.
Across 91 payments — averaging $5579.18 each. Meals, travel, consulting and speaking fees, gifts and royalties reported by drug and device makers.

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
$507,706 in reported general payments places this provider in the 95th percentile of 151 podiatrist providers in Arizona.
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.
