About

Dr. Paul T. Stallman, MD is a board-certified ophthalmologist specializing in oculoplastic and aesthetic facial surgery in Pismo Beach, California. He focuses on improving the appearance of the eyes and face, addressing concerns related to aging and wrinkles. Dr. Stallman emphasizes achieving natural-appearing improvements for his patients. He considers Fractional Laser resurfacing the gold standard for skin rejuvenation, noting its significant improvements in skin texture, pigmentation, and common tightening effect. For lower eyelids, he finds lower lid blepharoplasty highly effective in reducing under-eye puffiness and shadows, often performing it through hidden incisions to maintain a natural look. He also treats festoons, which are chronic fluid retention, with multiple sessions of microneedling with radiofrequency combined with fractional laser resurfacing, as they do not respond to typical lower lid blepharoplasty. Combining hidden incision endoscopic brow contouring with blepharoplasty creates a natural yet significant enhancement, and eyelid surgery with brow lifting and ptosis repair can soften a heavy, shadowed look.

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)

$610

Payments

14

Compared to peers

Modest

Dr. Paul T. Stallman received $610 across 14 payments in 2024. That is higher than about 56% of the physicians here who received any industry payment. Most of it was categorised as compensation for services other than consulting, including serving as faculty or as a speaker at a venue other than a continuing education program, and the largest single payer was ABBVIE 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?”
