About

Dr. Sheldon Cober is a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon practicing in Portland, Oregon. He specializes in cosmetic and reconstructive surgery, along with injectables and skincare services. For breast augmentation, Dr. Cober's practice offers a full range of options, including choices in implant type, incision location, and implant placement, allowing for complete customization of each procedure.

Dr. Cober also provides lip augmentation and dermal fillers, using products like Juvederm Volbella® XC to add volume to lips and smooth vertical lines, aiming for fuller, pillowy, natural-looking results that can last up to a year.

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)

$161

Payments

7

Compared to peers

Small

Dr. Sheldon Cober received $161 across 7 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 Mentor Worldwide LLC.

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?”
