POOJA DARA, DMD appears in the CMS NPPES registry as a Public Health Dentistry provider holding DMD credentials at 5701 DELMAR BLVD, SAINT LOUIS, MO, 63112, with a listed phone of (314) 477-1891. NPI 1285202531 was issued on 06/14/2021. Because NPPES data is self-reported by the provider and refreshed monthly, the address, phone, and specialty reflect what DARA 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 120 prescription claims written by this provider, covering 49 Medicare beneficiaries and totaling roughly $528 in drug spend. 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.

Public Health Dentistry is a narrow specialty nationwide, with 1,104 enrolled providers across 54 states and an average of 84 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.
