Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
Almost everything reported here is food and beverage — 97.5% of the total across 64 separate payments, which is the pattern of a clinician who attends manufacturer presentations rather than one with a consulting arrangement. It is spread thinly across 25 manufacturers, the largest accounting for just 20.6% — the pattern of someone who eats at a lot of different presentations. Reporting peaked in 2019 at $1,108 and has fallen 84.4% since, to $172 in 2025. That places this record below the midpoint for neurology clinicians in OK, where the typical reported total is $1,439.
Across 64 payments — averaging $22.49 each. Meals, travel, consulting and speaking fees, gifts and royalties reported by drug and device makers.
