DWAYNE STEELE, M.D. appears in the CMS NPPES registry as a General Practice Physician provider holding M.D. credentials at 4525 FULTON INDUSTRIAL BLVD SW, ATLANTA, GA, 30336, with a listed phone of (404) 691-4999. NPI 1518294016 was issued on 11/04/2009. Because NPPES data is self-reported by the provider and refreshed monthly, the address, phone, and specialty reflect what STEELE 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 1,611 prescription claims written by this provider, covering 167 Medicare beneficiaries and totaling roughly $238K in drug spend, split 13% brand-name and 87% generic by claim count, with an opioid prescribing rate of 2.0%. 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 79.517/100 for the 2023 performance year (Quality 74.4554, Cost 58.1013), compared with the national average of 83.1.

General Practice Physician is a mid-sized specialty nationwide, with 16,677 enrolled providers across 56 states and an average of 2,872 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.
