Reading this record
CMS records this location as a subpart of Brian L. Farquhar OD, PC, meaning it bills under its own NPI but belongs to a larger organization. The entry was last refreshed in October 2022. That is neither fresh nor ancient by the standards of this metro, where 185 of 607 records were updated in 2024 or later and 291 predate 2020.
For local context: Phoenix holds 158 registered eye care practices in this snapshot, 116 of them optometry and 42 ophthalmology, in ZIP codes including 85016. 74 of them took an NPI before this practice did. The closest is Nationwide Optometry P.C. in Phoenix, 0.0 miles away.
None of this is a licensing check. CMS issues an NPI so a provider can be identified in billing transactions, and states plainly that issuance does not ensure or validate that the holder is licensed or credentialed. The Arizona boards hold the licensing record, and the practice itself is the only source for what it charges today.

What to expect to pay at an optometry practice like this
The NPI registry holds no prices, so nothing here is a quote from Brian L. Farquhar O.D., P.C.. Based on this site's own price research, an independent optometry practice typically charges $120 to $200 for an exam without insurance, against a national average of about $136 and roughly $25 once a vision plan pays its share.
Ask two things when you call: whether the quoted fee includes the refraction, and what a contact lens fitting adds if you wear lenses, since that takes a visit to $150 to $370. A comprehensive exam is $100 to $250. If price is the deciding factor, the 607 practices on the Phoenix-Mesa-Chandler page give you the full local field to call around.
