Reading this record
Beyond the primary code the record carries Optometrist, which is the registry's own signal that the practice covers more than routine work. 2 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 September 2025, putting it among the 94 of 655 Detroit-Warren-Dearborn records updated in 2024 or later, so the contact details are more likely to be current than most of this metro.
For local context: Detroit holds 39 registered eye care practices in this snapshot, 29 of them optometry and 10 ophthalmology, in ZIP codes including 48201. 2 of them took an NPI before this practice did. The closest is Wayne State University Physician Group in Detroit, 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 Michigan boards hold the licensing record, and the practice itself is the only source for what it charges today.
Also registered at this address
2 other organizations hold an NPI at the same street address. Shared suites and multi-specialty buildings are common, and it is worth knowing which entity you are actually booking with.

What to expect to pay at an ophthalmology practice like this
The NPI registry holds no prices, so nothing here is a quote from University Eye Physicians. 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 467 optometry practices on the Detroit-Warren-Dearborn page if you only need a prescription.
