Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
This record is dominated by food and beverage: $3,782 of the $4,835 with a category attached, or 78.2%. It is spread thinly across 25 manufacturers, the largest accounting for just 23.8% — the pattern of someone who eats at a lot of different presentations. Reporting peaked in 2022 at $2,002 and has fallen 71.7% since, to $567 in 2025. Among obstetrics & gynecology clinicians in PA 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 238 payments — averaging $20.31 each. Meals, travel, consulting and speaking fees, gifts and royalties reported by drug and device makers.

How this compares
$4,835 in reported general payments places this provider in the 90th percentile of 1,711 obstetrics & gynecology providers in Pennsylvania.
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.

| Spironolactone | 33 | $842 |
