Reviews for TORREY PINES EYE CARE
5 out of 5 stars - Review by Jennifer ***** on February 26, 2026
I find Dr Bainter to be exceptionally informative and caring of me as a unique person. She treats me holistically, and has suggested diet/ supplements to assist with positive changes that help my eyes function. She uses my family history to potentially detect genetic concerns and/or rule them out. Her exams are thorough and accompany charts, diagrams or viewing her computer. Office staff is great
NPI NPI Number Validation
How NPI Validation Works
The NPI validation process uses the ISO-standard Luhn algorithm, a mathematical "handshake", to ensure that a provider's 10-digit ID is authentic and free of common typing errors.
To verify the NPI 1588236491, we treat the final digit (1) as the Check Digit—the target answer we need to reach. The process begins by taking the first nine digits and adding a constant value of 24, which accounts for the "80840" prefix required for all U.S. health identifiers. We then double every other digit starting from the right and sum the individual digits of those results together. For this specific NPI, that total comes to 69. The final step is to find the difference between that total and the next multiple of ten (70 - 69 = 1).
Digit-by-digit view
Use the first nine digits for the calculation. Starting from the right, double every other digit. The last digit is the check digit and is not part of the calculation.
Step 1: Double every other digit from the right
Starting with the rightmost digit of the first nine digits, double every other value. If doubling creates a two-digit number, add those digits together.
Step 2: Add all digits plus the NPI constant
Add the transformed values, the unchanged digits, and the constant 24.
Step 3: Find the amount needed to reach the next multiple of 10
The next multiple of ten after 69 is 70. The difference is the calculated check digit.
