About

Dr. John W. Zinsser, MD is a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon practicing in Richmond, Virginia. He is also a Fellow of the American College of Surgeons (F.A.C.S.). Dr. Zinsser specializes in facial rejuvenation, breast surgery—including augmentation, reduction, lift, and reconstruction—and body contouring procedures like tummy tucks, body lifts, liposuction, and gluteal augmentation.

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 (2024)

$413

Payments

10

Compared to peers

Small

Dr. John W. Zinsser received $413 across 10 payments in 2024. That is in the lower half for physicians here — totals this size are typically meals at sponsored talks. Most of it was categorised as food and beverage, and the largest single payer was Galderma Laboratories, L.P..

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?”
