DAVID PICKETT, DMD appears in the CMS NPPES registry as a Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery (D.M.D.) provider holding DMD credentials at 248 N PETERS RD, KNOXVILLE, TN, 37923, with a listed phone of (865) 691-0918. NPI 1164664140 was issued on 04/06/2009. Because NPPES data is self-reported by the provider and refreshed monthly, the address, phone, and specialty reflect what PICKETT 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 867 prescription claims written by this provider, covering 284 Medicare beneficiaries and totaling roughly $4K in drug spend, with an opioid prescribing rate of 26.9%. 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.

Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery (D.M.D.) is a narrow specialty nationwide, with 1,112 enrolled providers across 52 states and an average of 324 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.
