CAROLYN CHONG, D.D.S., M.S. appears in the CMS NPPES registry as a Endodontics provider holding D.D.S., M.S. credentials at 2850 TELEGRAPH AVE, BERKELEY, CA, 94705, with a listed phone of (510) 841-6357. NPI 1255438172 was issued on 09/20/2006. Because NPPES data is self-reported by the provider and refreshed monthly, the address, phone, and specialty reflect what CHONG 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 92 prescription claims written by this provider, covering 63 Medicare beneficiaries and totaling roughly $651 in drug spend, with an opioid prescribing rate of 21.7%. 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.

Endodontics is a mid-sized specialty nationwide, with 5,856 enrolled providers across 53 states and an average of 116 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.
