MARIA ALFARO COTO, DDS, MS appears in the CMS NPPES registry as a Prosthodontics provider holding DDS, MS credentials at 3302 GASTON AVE, DALLAS, TX, 75246, with a listed phone of (214) 828-8370. NPI 1891397154 was issued on 11/12/2020. Because NPPES data is self-reported by the provider and refreshed monthly, the address, phone, and specialty reflect what ALFARO COTO 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 367 prescription claims written by this provider, covering 107 Medicare beneficiaries and totaling roughly $14K in drug spend, with an opioid prescribing rate of 18.3%. 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.

Prosthodontics is a narrow specialty nationwide, with 3,510 enrolled providers across 51 states and an average of 85 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.
