Reading this record
CMS records this location as a subpart of Regents of the University of California at Berkeley, meaning it bills under its own NPI but belongs to a larger organization. The entry was refreshed in June 2026, putting it among the 95 of 545 San Francisco-Oakland-Fremont records updated in 2024 or later, so the contact details are more likely to be current than most of this metro.
For local context: Emeryville holds 3 registered eye care practices in this snapshot, 2 of them optometry and 1 ophthalmology, in ZIP codes including 94608. 2 of them took an NPI before this practice did. The closest is Bay Bridge Optometry in Emeryville, 0.9 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 California 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holds no prices, so nothing here is a quote from Uc Berkeley Emeryville Eye Center, and independent optometry practices do not publish fee schedules. Customers report paying $120 to $200 at this kind of practice without insurance, which is a reported band rather than a published price. The nearest published figure is $95, the median starting fee across the 1,280 US retail optical stores that print one (30 September 2026), and Medicare pays $149.64 for a comprehensive new-patient exam (CPT 92004). Ask Uc Berkeley Emeryville Eye Center for its self-pay price.
Ask two things when you call: whether the quoted fee includes the refraction, and what a contact lens fitting adds if you wear lenses (the median published contact-lens fee is $129). A comprehensive exam is $80 to $120 at the middle half of stores that print a price. If price is the deciding factor, the 545 practices on the San Francisco-Oakland-Fremont page give you the full local field to call around.
