Medicare Part D records for calendar year 2023 show 96 prescription claims written by this provider, covering 72 Medicare beneficiaries and totaling roughly $657 in drug spend, with an opioid prescribing rate of 70.8%.

On the CMS Merit-based Incentive Payment System, this provider earned a Final Score of 54.9749/100 for the 2023 performance year (Quality 36.7145, Cost 31.535), compared with the national average of 83.1.

Surgery of the Hand (Plastic Surgery) Physician is a narrow specialty nationwide, with 370 enrolled providers across 43 states and an average of 106 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.
