Reading this record
6 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 2024, putting it among the 9 of 60 Scranton--Wilkes-Barre records updated in 2024 or later, so the contact details are more likely to be current than most of this metro.
For local context: Wilkes Barre holds 10 registered eye care practices in this snapshot, 9 of them optometry and 1 ophthalmology, in ZIP codes including 18711. No other practice in the city took its NPI earlier than this one, which makes it the longest-registered address here. The closest is Charles Whitling Inc in Wilkes Barre, 2.1 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 Pennsylvania 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The NPI registry holds no prices, so nothing here is a quote from Geisinger Clinic, and independent optometry practices do not publish fee schedules.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 Geisinger Clinic 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 60 practices on the Scranton--Wilkes-Barre page give you the full local field to call around.
