AKBAR DAWOOD, D.M.D. appears in the CMS NPPES registry as a Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery (Dentist) provider holding D.M.D. credentials at 6201 GREENBELT RD, BERWYN HEIGHTS, MD, 20740, with a listed phone of (301) 345-7007. NPI 1841498771 was issued on 07/03/2007. Because NPPES data is self-reported by the provider and refreshed monthly, the address, phone, and specialty reflect what DAWOOD most recently submitted to CMS rather than a vetted directory listing, which is why patients should always confirm the practice is still at this location before scheduling.

Medicare Part D records for calendar year 2023 show 215 prescription claims written by this provider, covering 72 Medicare beneficiaries and totaling roughly $761 in drug spend, with an opioid prescribing rate of 20.9%. These figures capture only Medicare Part D — commercial insurance, Medicaid, and cash-pay prescriptions are not included, and any drug-beneficiary cell under 11 is suppressed by CMS for patient privacy.

Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery (Dentist) is a mid-sized specialty nationwide, with 7,631 enrolled providers across 52 states and an average of 378 Part D claims per prescriber, so the context for interpreting these metrics differs meaningfully from a primary-care baseline.

Inclusion here does not imply a recommendation, and absence of complaints or sanctions on this page does not mean none exist — always verify credentials through the NPPES NPI Registry, your state medical board, and the ABMS or AOA before making healthcare decisions.
