DONALD BUCK, MD appears in the CMS NPPES registry as a Surgery of the Hand (Surgery) Physician provider holding MD credentials at 10004 KENNERLY RD STE 365B, SAINT LOUIS, MO, 63128, with a listed phone of (636) 525-6080. NPI 1750547352 was issued on 08/03/2008. Because NPPES data is self-reported by the provider and refreshed monthly, the address, phone, and specialty reflect what BUCK 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 81 prescription claims written by this provider, covering 34 Medicare beneficiaries and totaling roughly $841 in drug spend, with an opioid prescribing rate of 59.3%. 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.

Surgery of the Hand (Surgery) Physician is a narrow specialty nationwide, with 394 enrolled providers across 44 states and an average of 175 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.
