Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
The money is spread across several categories — consulting fees (45.4%), speaking fees and travel and lodging — rather than concentrated in one kind of arrangement. Smith+Nephew accounts for 94.4% of it on its own, with 12 other manufacturers making up the rest. Reporting peaked in 2024 at $25,966 and has fallen 76.7% since, to $6,057 in 2025. Among gerontology clinicians in NJ 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 147 payments — averaging $222.49 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.
