DAWN CATER, NPP appears in the CMS NPPES registry as a Obesity Medicine (Family Medicine) Physician provider holding NPP credentials at 1139 MAIN AVE, WARWICK, RI, 02886, with a listed phone of (401) 739-6600. NPI 1073555645 was issued on 06/11/2006. Because NPPES data is self-reported by the provider and refreshed monthly, the address, phone, and specialty reflect what CATER 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 1,165 prescription claims written by this provider, covering 68 Medicare beneficiaries and totaling roughly $52K in drug spend, split 14% brand-name and 86% generic by claim count, with an opioid prescribing rate of 4.1%. 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.

Obesity Medicine (Family Medicine) Physician is a narrow specialty nationwide, with 149 enrolled providers across 39 states and an average of 1,239 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.
