Industry Payments

Federal law (the Physician Payments Sunshine Act) requires drug and medical-device companies to report anything of value they give to a physician — consulting and speaking fees, research funding, travel, royalties, and even meals. Medicare publishes all of it in a public database called Open Payments. We show it here so you don't have to go looking for it.

Total received (2025)

$5,097

Payments

9

Compared to peers

Above average

Dr. David Alessi received $5,097 across 9 payments in 2025. That is higher than about 89% of the physicians here who received any industry payment. Most of it was categorised as debt forgiveness, and the largest single payer was Olympus America Inc..

What this means for your care

  • A disclosed payment is a business relationship, not evidence of wrongdoing, and it says nothing on its own about the quality of your care.
  • Most payments are small. Across the physicians listed on NavMDs, the single most common category is food and beverage at industry-sponsored talks.
  • Larger consulting, speaking or royalty payments mean an ongoing financial relationship with a company whose products your doctor may use or recommend. That is worth knowing about, and it is reasonable to ask about.
  • A fair question to ask: “Do you have a financial relationship with the maker of the implant, filler or device you're recommending — and what alternatives did you consider?”

Dr. Alessi specializes in facial plastic surgery. Based on the procedures listed, his areas of care likely include facial rejuvenation, wrinkle reduction, skin tightening, and non-surgical facial contouring. The Alessi Institute integrates advanced technology, surgical expertise, and personalized care. Every treatment plan is tailored to the individual's unique features and goals. A primary goal is to achieve natural-looking results. Patient confidence is a primary focus. Dr. Alessi performs transformations with precision. His neck rejuvenation technique is described as meticulous and artistic. For facelifts and neck lifts, Dr. Alessi emphasizes addressing both the skin and the deeper structures. His technique focuses on restoring support beneath the surface, unlike older methods that simply pull the skin tighter. Dr. Alessi believes a successful facelift should restore a more youthful, refreshed version of the patient, rather than changing their identity. His refined facelift technique also focuses on achieving facial balance, prioritizing preserving each patient’s unique features. This approach helps restore definition to the jawline and improve skin laxity. For rhinoplasty, Dr. Alessi aims to create a more balanced profile without changing the patient's overall character, resulting in a refined, masculine, and completely natural look. Stem cell treatments are offered to help restore a softer, more refreshed appearance with natural-looking volume. Morpheus8 is a minimally invasive treatment that targets skin laxity by delivering radiofrequency energy beneath the surface of the skin. This stimulates the body’s natural collagen-building process, leading to firmer, smoother skin over time. It is ideal for areas affected by weight loss or pregnancy.
