Reading this record
The practice bills under the legal name Ruckman Eyecare PC and registered Eastern Sierra Eyecare as its trading name, so an insurance statement may show a name that does not match the sign on the door. Beyond the primary code the record carries Optometrist, Corneal and Contact Management, Optometrist, Low Vision Rehabilitation and Optometrist, Sports Vision, which is the registry's own signal that the practice covers more than routine work. The entry was refreshed in January 2024, putting it among the 4 of 16 Carson City records updated in 2024 or later, so the contact details are more likely to be current than most of this metro.
For local context: Carson City holds 16 registered eye care practices in this snapshot, 13 of them optometry and 3 ophthalmology, in ZIP codes including 89703. 8 of them took an NPI before this practice did. The closest is Gary W. Abel O.D., LLC in Carson City, 0.8 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 Nevada 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 Eastern Sierra Eyecare. 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 16 practices on the Carson City page give you the full local field to call around.
