Reading this record
The practice bills under the legal name Kim Hien Nguyen, OD PC and registered Dr. Kim Nguyen & Associates as its trading name, so an insurance statement may show a name that does not match the sign on the door. CMS records this location as a subpart of Kim Hien Nguyen, OD PC, meaning it bills under its own NPI but belongs to a larger organization. The entry was refreshed in April 2024, putting it among the 139 of 457 Washington-Arlington-Alexandria records updated in 2024 or later, so the contact details are more likely to be current than most of this metro.
For local context: Springfield holds 15 registered eye care practices in this snapshot, 13 of them optometry and 2 ophthalmology, in ZIP codes including 22150. 12 of them took an NPI before this practice did. The closest is Visual Health Doctors of Optometry in Springfield, 0.1 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 Virginia 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 Dr. Kim Nguyen & Associates, and independent optometry practices do not publish fee schedules.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 Dr. Kim Nguyen & Associates 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 457 practices on the Washington-Arlington-Alexandria page give you the full local field to call around.
