Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
This record is dominated by consulting fees: $76,800 of the $83,776 with a category attached, or 91.7%. Endologix LLC accounts for 95.9% of it on its own, with 27 other manufacturers making up the rest. Reporting peaked in 2021 at $39,878 and has fallen 99.3% since, to $277 in 2025. Among vascular surgery clinicians in SC 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.

What the payments were tied to
Products named in the reported payments. Only payments of $100 or more are attributed here — the typical reported payment nationally is a meal worth about $16, and listing those product-by-product would be noise.

How this compares
$83,776 in reported general payments places this provider in the 90th percentile of 99 vascular surgery providers in South Carolina.
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.

| Tobramycin Sulfate | 23 | $43,450 |
