Specialty board-certified rate — Surgical Oncology Physician estimate
Board certification through an ABMS or AOA member board signals voluntary post-licensure examination plus Maintenance of Certification cycles. CMS does not publish a per-provider board-certification field; the figure shown is the specialty-level estimated rate from ABMS / AOA reference data.
The Merit-based Incentive Payment System (MIPS) scores providers 0–100 across four performance categories: Quality, Cost, Promoting Interoperability, and Improvement Activities, weighted under 42 CFR §414.1380. Reporting is voluntary for many small practices, so absence of a MIPS score is not a quality signal.
Board certification through an ABMS or AOA member board signals voluntary post-licensure examination plus continuous Maintenance of Certification cycles. Verify any individual provider's status through certificationmatters.org (ABMS) or osteopathic.org (AOA).
CARLOS SUAREZ, M.D. is a Surgical Oncology Physician provider practicing in SOUTH MIAMI, Florida, according to the CMS National Plan and Provider Enumeration System (NPPES). Credentials: M.D..

CARLOS SUAREZ, M.D. appears in the CMS NPPES registry as a Surgical Oncology Physician provider holding M.D. credentials at 7000 SW 62ND AVE, SOUTH MIAMI, FL, 33143, with a listed phone of (305) 662-1630. NPI 1821030701 was issued on 06/12/2006.

Medicare Part D records for calendar year 2023 show 91 prescription claims written by this provider, covering N/A Medicare beneficiaries and totaling roughly $11K in drug spend, split 35% brand-name and 65% generic by claim count.

Surgical Oncology Physician is a narrow specialty nationwide, with 1,410 enrolled providers across 50 states and an average of 97 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.
