DEBORAH FRIEDMAN, M.D. appears in the CMS NPPES registry as a Neuro-ophthalmology Physician provider holding M.D. credentials at 12740 HILLCREST RD STE 269, DALLAS, TX, 75230, with a listed phone of (972) 773-9003. NPI 1023036340 was issued on 07/17/2006. Because NPPES data is self-reported by the provider and refreshed monthly, the address, phone, and specialty reflect what FRIEDMAN 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 128 prescription claims written by this provider, covering 45 Medicare beneficiaries and totaling roughly $83K in drug spend, split 43% brand-name and 57% generic by claim count. 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.

Neuro-ophthalmology Physician is a narrow specialty nationwide, with 128 enrolled providers across 34 states and an average of 419 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.
