DEAN KOSTAKOS, D.P.M. appears in the CMS NPPES registry as a Podiatrist provider holding D.P.M. credentials at 1380 UPPER HEMBREE RD, ROSWELL, GA, 30076, with a listed phone of (770) 346-7500. NPI 1417056847 was issued on 09/22/2006. Because NPPES data is self-reported by the provider and refreshed monthly, the address, phone, and specialty reflect what KOSTAKOS 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 466 prescription claims written by this provider, covering 241 Medicare beneficiaries and totaling roughly $9K in drug spend, split 3% brand-name and 97% generic by claim count, with an opioid prescribing rate of 9.2%. 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. On the CMS Merit-based Incentive Payment System, this provider earned a Final Score of 0/100 for the 2023 performance year (Quality 0), compared with the national average of 83.1.

Podiatrist is a mid-sized specialty nationwide, with 10,498 enrolled providers across 54 states and an average of 304 Part D claims per prescriber, so the context for interpreting these metrics differs meaningfully from a primary-care baseline.
