California Medi-Cal dental provider listing
Matched to a register
The California Department of Health Care Services' Medi-Cal fee-for-service provider file (refreshed 2026-09-28) lists ABADI, BEHZAD, DMD (NPI 1588879100) at 10735 LAKEWOOD BLVD, DOWNEY, CA 90241; its dentist-classified record gives the specialty as General Practioner (Dentists Only).
Exact normalized full practitioner name, full street address, city, and ZIP5 matched to one distinct NPI (1588879100) in the DHCS provider file refreshed 2026-09-28. This dataset is a Medi-Cal fee-for-service provider listing, not a dental license register; it does not establish current license standing, current appointment availability, clinical quality, or outcomes.
Matched using exact practitioner-name tokens and full public address, city, and ZIP5. The DHCS file has one distinct NPI for this identity/location. Use the dated listing as a source-specific participation signal, not as a substitute for checking the California Dental Board or confirming current participation with the provider.

NPPES organizational identifier and taxonomy
Matched to a register
As of September 27, 2026, the CMS NPPES V.2 release and weekly updates list 1 active Type 2 organizational NPI record matching this directory business name and practice location by exact normalized legal or officially reported DBA name plus full practice street, unit when listed, city and state: 1942697628. Reported taxonomy codes: Dentist (122300000X).
The dated CMS NPPES V.2 bulk snapshot through September 27, 2026. A match requires an exact normalized organization legal name or officially reported DBA, exact full practice street and city/state, and an active Type 2 NPI record in the latest available release. NPPES data are provider-reported; NPI assignment and taxonomy do not establish state licensure, credentialing, quality, insurance participation, or that a location is currently operating.
Matched against the September 14, 2026 CMS NPPES V.2 full replacement file and weekly incremental updates through September 27, 2026. Exact identity required the directory name to match the NPPES legal organization name or an officially reported Type 2 other name, and the full practice street, unit when provided, city, and state to match an NPPES primary or additional practice location. Deactivations in the monthly and weekly files were applied before matching. CMS cautions that NPI issuance does not validate licensure or credentialing.
