Who their Medicare patients are

54 Original Medicare patients in 2024. Average age 74 · Women 59% · Also on Medicaid 24% · Health risk score 1.03. At or below the middle of the specialty; the typical plastic and reconstructive surgery clinician is at 1.21.

The office billed $225,645, Medicare allowed $32,890 and paid $25,580; for 198 services of 44 kinds.

Original Medicare patients only. A risk score of 1.0 is the average Medicare patient; higher means sicker. Any count under 11 is hidden.

Year by year

Original Medicare only. A service billed for fewer than 11 people in a year is hidden, so the lines can add up to less than the year's total.

This is pharmacy cost, not the office bill, and not what patients paid.

Opioids were 48% of their 25 Part D prescriptions in 2022. Too few prescriptions to judge: with under about 50 a year, a handful of patients can swing this share.

Part D prescriptions only. A drug prescribed to fewer than 11 people in a year is hidden.

Paid work is consulting, speaking, honoraria and royalties, as opposed to meals and travel.

A payment is not proof that care is biased.
