We measured 35 eye care practices in Gilbert serving 271,118 residents, and 5 findings stood out against the other markets we measure.
What we set out to measure
Who can examine your eyes here, and who can operate on them?
Every eye care practice below comes from the federal provider registry, counted whether or not it appears in this site’s directory. The findings are what the numbers came back with, not a view we formed first and then looked for support for.
Median Google reviews: 200
That is the highest of the 6 Arizona markets we measure.
The middle number of Google reviews among eye care practices that have any. A low median usually means a market of smaller or newer eye care practices. We could check 83% of Gilbert eye care practices for this.
Eye care practices with a website: 80%
That is the highest of the 8 Arizona markets we measure.
Share of eye care practices with a working website on record, out of the eye care practices whose contact details we have checked. Measured over 28 of 35.
Open past 6pm on a weekday: 30%
That is 9 points above the 20% typical of the 4 other Arizona markets we measure.
Share of eye care practices whose published hours run past 6pm on at least one weekday, out of the eye care practices whose hours we have on record. Measured over 8 of 27. We could check 77% of Gilbert eye care practices for this.
Half of all eye care practices sit in 2 of 6 ZIP codes
13 of them are in 85295 alone, out of the 35 we could place.
Optometrist (OD): 89%
That is the share of Gilbert eye care practices we could classify.
Practices registered under each provider type in the federal registry. Optometrists handle exams, glasses, and contacts; ophthalmologists are physicians who also perform eye surgery.
What this does not tell you
- Provider type comes from the federal registry rather than from what a practice advertises, so a clinic employing both optometrists and ophthalmologists is counted once.
- Nothing here says whether a practice is accepting new patients, how long the wait is, or which vision plans it takes.
- A surgical practice and a single optical shop each count as one.
