Reading this record
The practice bills under the legal name Daniel Durante Jr PLLC and registered Choice Optics as its trading name, so an insurance statement may show a name that does not match the sign on the door. The entry was refreshed in February 2025, putting it among the 17 of 61 Port St. Lucie records updated in 2024 or later, so the contact details are more likely to be current than most of this metro.
For local context: Port Saint Lucie holds 8 registered eye care practices in this snapshot, 7 of them optometry and 1 ophthalmology, in ZIP codes including 34952. 4 of them took an NPI before this practice did. The closest is Colean Services, Inc. in Port St Lucie, 0.3 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 Florida 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The NPI registry holds no prices, so nothing here is a quote from Choice Optics, and independent optometry practices do not publish fee schedules.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 Choice Optics 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 61 practices on the Port St. Lucie page give you the full local field to call around.
