Doctors who received the most from drug & device makers
Ranked by total general payments reported under the Sunshine Act across all published program years.
How to read this list. Large totals at the top of this list are usually royalties paid to physicians who invented a device, or consulting for companies whose products they helped develop. That is legal, disclosed, and often the reason the device exists. A high rank here is not an accusation.
