Specialty board-certified rate — Nephrology Physician estimate
Board certification through an ABMS or AOA member board signals voluntary post-licensure examination plus Maintenance of Certification cycles. CMS does not publish a per-provider board-certification field; the figure shown is the specialty-level estimated rate from ABMS / AOA reference data.
The Merit-based Incentive Payment System (MIPS) scores providers 0–100 across four performance categories: Quality, Cost, Promoting Interoperability, and Improvement Activities, weighted under 42 CFR §414.1380. Reporting is voluntary for many small practices, so absence of a MIPS score is not a quality signal.
Board certification through an ABMS or AOA member board signals voluntary post-licensure examination plus continuous Maintenance of Certification cycles. Verify any individual provider's status through certificationmatters.org (ABMS) or osteopathic.org (AOA).
SANFORD REIKES, MD appears in the CMS NPPES registry as a Nephrology Physician provider holding MD credentials at 1 DIAMOND HILL RD, BERKELEY HEIGHTS, NJ, 07922, with a listed phone of (908) 277-8649. NPI 1467456384 was issued on 06/09/2005.

Medicare Part D records for calendar year 2023 show 1,268 prescription claims written by this provider, covering 256 Medicare beneficiaries and totaling roughly $117K in drug spend.

Nephrology Physician is a mid-sized specialty nationwide, with 10,534 enrolled providers across 55 states and an average of 1,454 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.
