RUSSELL FAUST, M.D. appears in the CMS NPPES registry as a Pediatric Surgery Physician provider holding M.D. credentials at 1200 N TELEGRAPH RD, PONTIAC, MI, 48341, with a listed phone of (248) 858-1276. NPI 1356429658 was issued on 11/02/2006. Because NPPES data is self-reported by the provider and refreshed monthly, the address, phone, and specialty reflect what FAUST 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 74 prescription claims written by this provider, covering 25 Medicare beneficiaries and totaling roughly $59K in drug spend, split 35% brand-name and 65% generic by claim count. 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.

Pediatric Surgery Physician is a narrow specialty nationwide, with 1,132 enrolled providers across 52 states and an average of 272 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.
