NPI 1275943334 was issued on 04/29/2014.

Medicare Part D records for calendar year 2023 show 690 prescription claims written by this provider, covering 351 Medicare beneficiaries and totaling roughly $7K in drug spend, with an opioid prescribing rate of 21.7%. 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.

Orthopaedic Surgery Physician is a mid-sized specialty nationwide, with 25,781 enrolled providers across 56 states and an average of 324 Part D claims per prescriber, so the context for interpreting these metrics differs meaningfully from a primary-care baseline.
