Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
The money is spread across several categories — food and beverage (58.5%), travel and lodging and education — rather than concentrated in one kind of arrangement. 21 manufacturers reported payments, led by Boston Scientific at 52.7% of the total. Reporting peaked in 2019 at $1,783 and has fallen 68.6% since, to $560 in 2025. That places this record below the midpoint for gastroenterology clinicians in AZ, where the typical reported total is $3,568.
Across 86 payments — averaging $40.53 each. Meals, travel, consulting and speaking fees, gifts and royalties reported by drug and device makers.

How this compares
$3,486 in reported general payments places this provider in the 45th percentile of 355 gastroenterology providers in Arizona.
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.
Most prescribed under Part D
| Drug | Claims | Cost to plans & patients |
|---|---|---|
| Pantoprazole Sodium | 30 | $546 |
| Gavilyte-GPeg3350/Sod Sulf,bicarb,cl/Kcl | 14 | $185 |
Paid to pharmacies, not to this prescriber.
