Nassim Lashkari, M.D., PHARM.D. appears in the CMS NPPES registry as a Pharmacist provider holding M.D., PHARM.D. credentials at 525 E 68TH ST, New York, NY, 10065, with a listed phone of (212) 746-5454. NPI 1265885677 was issued on 07/20/2016. Because NPPES data is self-reported by the provider and refreshed monthly, the address, phone, and specialty reflect what Lashkari 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 22 prescription claims written by this provider, covering 16 Medicare beneficiaries and totaling roughly $343 in drug spend, with an opioid prescribing rate of 59.1%. 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.

Pharmacist is a high-volume specialty nationwide, with 290,447 enrolled providers across 56 states and an average of 135 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.
