Kimbo Chia, M. D., F . A . C. S. appears in the CMS NPPES registry as a Surgery Physician provider holding M. D., F . A . C. S. credentials at 564 NIAGARA ST, Buffalo, NY, 14201, with a listed phone of (716) 332-0678. NPI 1326159237 was issued on 08/31/2006. Because NPPES data is self-reported by the provider and refreshed monthly, the address, phone, and specialty reflect what Chia 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 490 prescription claims written by this provider, covering 59 Medicare beneficiaries and totaling roughly $47K in drug spend, split 5% brand-name and 95% generic by claim count, with an opioid prescribing rate of 14.7%. 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 Physician is a mid-sized specialty nationwide, with 36,191 enrolled providers across 56 states and an average of 169 Part D claims per prescriber, so the context for interpreting these metrics differs meaningfully from a primary-care baseline.
