CHESTER CHENG, M.D. appears in the CMS NPPES registry as a Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery Physician provider holding M.D. credentials at 4165 BLACKHAWK PLAZA CIR, DANVILLE, CA, 94506, with a listed phone of (925) 736-0401. NPI 1497892640 was issued on 01/30/2007. Because NPPES data is self-reported by the provider and refreshed monthly, the address, phone, and specialty reflect what CHENG 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 98 prescription claims written by this provider, covering 30 Medicare beneficiaries and totaling roughly $5K in drug spend, split 12% brand-name and 88% generic by claim count, with an opioid prescribing rate of 17.3%. 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.

Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery Physician is a narrow specialty nationwide, with 2,352 enrolled providers across 54 states and an average of 86 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.
