Darlene Carter, D.P.M. appears in the CMS NPPES registry as a Foot Surgery Podiatrist provider holding D.P.M. credentials at 5925 FOREST LN STE 121, Dallas, TX, 75230, with a listed phone of (972) 385-0002. NPI 1972959161 was issued on 05/06/2016. Because NPPES data is self-reported by the provider and refreshed monthly, the address, phone, and specialty reflect what Carter 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 42 prescription claims written by this provider, covering 17 Medicare beneficiaries and totaling roughly $2K in drug spend. 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.

Foot Surgery Podiatrist is a narrow specialty nationwide, with 1,519 enrolled providers across 53 states and an average of 342 Part D claims per prescriber, so the context for interpreting these metrics differs meaningfully from a primary-care baseline.
