Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
This record is dominated by royalties or licence payments: $2,770,776 of the $2,773,866 with a category attached, or 99.9%. Stryker accounts for 79.5% of it on its own, with 6 other manufacturers making up the rest. Reporting peaked in 2019 at $630,100 and has fallen 85.2% since, to $92,960 in 2025. Among neurological surgery clinicians in GA 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 62 payments — averaging $44,740 each. Meals, travel, consulting and speaking fees, gifts and royalties reported by drug and device makers.
