Reading this record
Beyond the primary code the record carries Ophthalmology, Glaucoma Specialist, Ophthalmology, Retina Specialist and Ophthalmology, Uveitis and Ocular Inflammatory Disease, which is the registry's own signal that the practice covers more than routine work. CMS records this location as a subpart of Southwestern Eye Center Ltd, meaning it bills under its own NPI but belongs to a larger organization. 5 locations nationally are registered under the same name, so pricing and policies are likely to be set at group level rather than at this office. The entry was refreshed in June 2024, putting it among the 185 of 607 Phoenix-Mesa-Chandler records updated in 2024 or later, so the contact details are more likely to be current than most of this metro.
For local context: Phoenix holds 158 registered eye care practices in this snapshot, 116 of them optometry and 42 ophthalmology, in ZIP codes including 85035. 145 of them took an NPI before this practice did. The closest is Nationwide Vision in Phoenix, 0.4 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 ophthalmology practice like this
The NPI registry holds no prices, so nothing here is a quote from Southwestern Eye Center, Ltd. Based on this site's own price research, an ophthalmology practice typically charges $150 to $300 or more for an exam without insurance, against a national average of about $136 and roughly $25 once a vision plan pays its share.
Ophthalmology visits are usually medical rather than routine, which changes who pays: medical insurance and Medicare Part B cover a medically necessary exam, while a routine refraction for glasses is normally not covered. Ask whether the visit will be billed as medical or routine before you book, and compare with the 489 optometry practices on the Phoenix-Mesa-Chandler page if you only need a prescription.
