PAUL BUCK, D.D.S., M.D. appears in the CMS NPPES registry as a Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery (D.M.D.) provider holding D.D.S., M.D. credentials at 550 COUNTY ROAD D W STE 12, NEW BRIGHTON, MN, 55112, with a listed phone of (612) 788-9246. NPI 1992063093 was issued on 04/26/2012. Because NPPES data is self-reported by the provider and refreshed monthly, the address, phone, and specialty reflect what BUCK 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 263 prescription claims written by this provider, covering 130 Medicare beneficiaries and totaling roughly $1K in drug spend, with an opioid prescribing rate of 26.2%. 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.

Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery (D.M.D.) is a narrow specialty nationwide, with 1,112 enrolled providers across 52 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.
