WILLIAM BUXTON, MD appears in the CMS NPPES registry as a Neuromuscular Medicine (Psychiatry & Neurology) Physician provider holding MD credentials at 1301 20TH ST STE 150, SANTA MONICA, CA, 90404, with a listed phone of (310) 582-7641. NPI 1669495149 was issued on 07/25/2006. Because NPPES data is self-reported by the provider and refreshed monthly, the address, phone, and specialty reflect what BUXTON 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 730 prescription claims written by this provider, covering 145 Medicare beneficiaries and totaling roughly $2.9 million in drug spend, split 25% brand-name and 75% generic by claim count, with an opioid prescribing rate of 1.8%. 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.

Neuromuscular Medicine (Psychiatry & Neurology) Physician is a narrow specialty nationwide, with 336 enrolled providers across 44 states and an average of 931 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.
