GARY DUFRESNE, DO appears in the CMS NPPES registry as a Emergency Medicine Physician provider holding DO credentials at 3851 ROGER BROOKE DR, FORT SAM HOUSTON, TX, 78234, with a listed phone of (210) 916-2460. NPI 1689664930 was issued on 10/27/2005. Because NPPES data is self-reported by the provider and refreshed monthly, the address, phone, and specialty reflect what DUFRESNE 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 414 prescription claims written by this provider, covering 218 Medicare beneficiaries and totaling roughly $6K in drug spend, with an opioid prescribing rate of 16.9%. 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.

Emergency Medicine Physician is a high-volume specialty nationwide, with 64,398 enrolled providers across 56 states and an average of 352 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.
