Reading this record
The practice bills under the legal name Christopher Doan, OD, PLLC and registered Aldine Eye Center as its trading name, so an insurance statement may show a name that does not match the sign on the door. The entry was last refreshed in September 2023. That is neither fresh nor ancient by the standards of this metro, where 210 of 1,115 records were updated in 2024 or later and 624 predate 2020.
For local context: Houston holds 489 registered eye care practices in this snapshot, 400 of them optometry and 89 ophthalmology, in ZIP codes including 77093. 459 of them took an NPI before this practice did. The closest is Sylvia R. Morales OD PLLC in Houston, 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 Texas 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 Aldine Eye Center. 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 1,115 practices on the Houston-Pasadena-The Woodlands page give you the full local field to call around.
