SUSAN KAWESKI, M.D., F.A.C.S. appears in the CMS NPPES registry as a Ph.D. Medical Genetics provider holding M.D., F.A.C.S. credentials at 8415 GRANT AVE, LA MESA, CA, 91941, with a listed phone of (619) 464-9876. NPI 1629076856 was issued on 07/12/2005. Because NPPES data is self-reported by the provider and refreshed monthly, the address, phone, and specialty reflect what KAWESKI 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 199 prescription claims written by this provider, covering 80 Medicare beneficiaries and totaling roughly $1K in drug spend, split 6% brand-name and 94% generic by claim count, with an opioid prescribing rate of 39.7%. 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.

Ph.D. Medical Genetics is a narrow specialty nationwide, with 357 enrolled providers across 46 states and an average of 984 Part D claims per prescriber, so the context for interpreting these metrics differs meaningfully from a primary-care baseline.

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.
