At a glance
- In the NPI registry since
- 2005
Licensed in Illinois since 1997, according to the Illinois Department of Financial and Professional Regulation. We show license dates only for the states that publish them in bulk; see which states do. For other states, check the state medical board.
The NPI date is when this clinician registered for a National Provider Identifier, the billing number used on health claims. It is not a license, graduation or board-certification date. NPIs were first issued in May 2005 and became required on claims in 2007–2008, so an early date usually means the clinician was already in practice before then. What an NPI is
Education and training
- 2005Registered with an NPI (national billing number; not a license date) — NPIs began in 2005, so practice likely started earlier
Medicare’s Care Compare data doesn’t list this clinician’s medical school. Undergraduate school, residency, fellowship, licensing exams and board certification aren’t in public federal data. Board certification can be confirmed with the certifying board (ABMS member boards for MDs, AOA boards for DOs).
