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)

$67

Payments

3

Compared to peers

Small

Dr. Robert J. Spies received $67 across 3 payments in 2025. 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?”

What areas of care does Dr. Robert J. Spies cater to?
Dr. Spies specializes in both cosmetic and reconstructive plastic surgery. His expertise includes procedures like tummy tucks, mommy makeovers, breast implant revisions, and other body contouring procedures. He also performs injectables and skincare treatments. The practice offers aesthetic nursing services and medical aesthetic and laser treatments, including those provided by Staci Brooks, Medical Aesthetician & Certified Laser Specialist, and Carol Traw, RN, Aesthetic Nurse Specialist. Dr. Spies' practice emphasizes a comprehensive approach to pigmentation issues, noting that fading existing dark spots is only a partial solution. Many brightening products only address existing pigmentation without preventing new spots, leading to recurrence. The practice focuses on solutions that address both existing spots and prevention. For pigmentation, they highly recommend RETAXOME by Hydrinity, a product that uses biomimetic exosomes to deliver stabilized retinal deeper into the skin. It is noted for delivering real, visible results such as smoother texture, less redness, and a visible glow, while being gentle enough for sensitive skin. The practice offers Restylane treatments for various areas, including restoring volume in the cheeks, smoothing smile lines, and enhancing lips, providing options for patients looking to refresh different facial areas. The practice is committed to comprehensive patient care, including answering questions and supporting patients through every stage of recovery. For post-operative care, they frequently refer patients to the Lymphatic Healing Center, noting that lymphatic massage can significantly help in reducing swelling and discomfort after surgery.
