PANKAJ THAKKER, DMD, MD appears in the CMS NPPES registry as a Dentist provider holding DMD, MD credentials at 211 MOUNT AUBURN AVE, AUBURN, ME, 04210, with a listed phone of (207) 514-7171. NPI 1740438464 was issued on 09/06/2008. Because NPPES data is self-reported by the provider and refreshed monthly, the address, phone, and specialty reflect what THAKKER 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 90 prescription claims written by this provider, covering 62 Medicare beneficiaries and totaling roughly $440 in drug spend, with an opioid prescribing rate of 56.7%. 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.

Dentist is a high-volume specialty nationwide, with 93,789 enrolled providers across 56 states and an average of 87 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.
