What this record establishes

The authenticated AAHKS directory lists this surgeon as a member, and CMS published hip or knee replacement services under this surgeon's NPI.

What still needs verification: years in practice, board certification and current all-payer annual volume. An unmet criterion is never a finding against a surgeon: CMS publishes only the Medicare half of a practice, and a credential nobody has documented is unknown, not absent.

Years in practice

Years in independent practice have not been resolved from a reviewed source.

Joint replacement volume

34 primary hip and knee replacements were published under this NPI in 2024 Original Medicare fee-for-service claims (13 hip, 21 knee). That is a lower bound: cash and commercially insured cases are published nowhere, for anyone. Below 100, the file proves nothing about total volume, because the rest of a practice is not in it.

Medicare participation: may accept Medicare assignment

The CMS Doctors & Clinicians file says this clinician may accept Medicare assignment. Confirm participation and assignment for the planned service.
