Mesa, AZ — Median Google reviews is the lowest of 6 Arizona markets we measure
We measured 58 eye care practices in Mesa serving 507,478 residents, and 3 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: 71
That is the lowest 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 71% of Mesa eye care practices for this.
Open past 6pm on a weekday: 18%
That is 7 points below the 26% 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 7 of 38. We could check 66% of Mesa eye care practices for this.
Half of all eye care practices sit in 3 of 11 ZIP codes
17 of them are in 85206 alone, out of the 58 we could place.
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.
