Opioids were 0% of their Part D prescriptions (0 of 408) in 2024. At or below the middle of the specialty; the typical gastroenterology clinician is at 0%.

356 generic and 52 brand-name prescriptions · $317,494 in drug cost · 23 antibiotic prescriptions to 18 people.

Part D prescriptions only. The opioid rate is opioid prescriptions as a share of all this clinician's Part D prescriptions; surgeons and pain specialists run higher than others, so it is shown against the same specialty.
