VIKAS PATEL, D.O. appears in the CMS NPPES registry as a Sports Medicine (Family Medicine) Physician provider holding D.O. credentials at 5800 COOPER FOSTER PARK RD W, LORAIN, OH, 44053, with a listed phone of (440) 204-7800. NPI 1306187455 was issued on 03/13/2013. Because NPPES data is self-reported by the provider and refreshed monthly, the address, phone, and specialty reflect what PATEL 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 234 prescription claims written by this provider, covering 142 Medicare beneficiaries and totaling roughly $1K in drug spend, with an opioid prescribing rate of 23.9%. 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.

Sports Medicine (Family Medicine) Physician is a narrow specialty nationwide, with 2,087 enrolled providers across 52 states and an average of 1,242 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.
