CAREN GOLDSTEIN, APN appears in the CMS NPPES registry as a Child & Adolescent Psychiatric/Mental Health Clinical Nurse Specialist provider holding APN credentials at 215 W END AVE, RARITAN, NJ, 08869, with a listed phone of (908) 333-4008. NPI 1942635297 was issued on 09/05/2013. Because NPPES data is self-reported by the provider and refreshed monthly, the address, phone, and specialty reflect what GOLDSTEIN 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 55 prescription claims written by this provider, covering N/A Medicare beneficiaries and totaling roughly $12K in drug spend, split 44% brand-name and 56% generic by claim count. 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.

Child & Adolescent Psychiatric/Mental Health Clinical Nurse Specialist is a narrow specialty nationwide, with 232 enrolled providers across 44 states and an average of 722 Part D claims per prescriber, so the context for interpreting these metrics differs meaningfully from a primary-care baseline. Important: PlainDoctor is a directory of publicly available government data, not medical advice, a malpractice database, or a quality rating. 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.
