Has Susan Shondel received payments from drug or device companies?

No. Federal law requires drug and device makers to report almost every transfer of value to a physician, including a $14 sandwich at a lunch presentation. Consulting fees, research funding and royalties to device inventors are ordinary, legal parts of medicine. This site reports what was disclosed; it makes no allegation.

Payments from drug & device makers

What this record shows

The money is spread across several categories — speaking fees (58.9%), food and beverage and consulting fees — rather than concentrated in one kind of arrangement. 20 manufacturers reported payments, led by Organon at 58.2% of the total. Reporting peaked in 2022 at $3,819 and has fallen 88.1% since, to $456 in 2024. Among obstetrics & gynecology clinicians in OH 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.
