JAAFAR AL-DAHWI, MD appears in the CMS NPPES registry as a Hospitalist Physician provider holding MD credentials at 3880 MURPHY CANYON RD STE 120, SAN DIEGO, CA, 92123, with a listed phone of (858) 268-1111. NPI 1639551435 was issued on 06/29/2015. Because NPPES data is self-reported by the provider and refreshed monthly, the address, phone, and specialty reflect what AL-DAHWI 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 2,731 prescription claims written by this provider, covering 326 Medicare beneficiaries and totaling roughly $358K in drug spend, split 12% brand-name and 88% generic by claim count, with an opioid prescribing rate of 2.8%. 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.

Hospitalist Physician is a mid-sized specialty nationwide, with 16,825 enrolled providers across 54 states and an average of 888 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.
