Super fast...was in and out in about 30 min for my initial appointment. Dr Ford was very nice

Great glasses prescription which had to be revised from another doctors prescription. I could then see perfect perfectly! read more

Honestly, one of the worst experiences with a doctor's office. I went in for an exam and contact lenses and when I arrived the front desk assistant Dorra, I believe, was extremely rude and unhelpful. While in office, the doctor was yelling at a young woman in scrubs and she was in tears. Absolutely unprofessional and abrasive. It took so long for me to even be checked in and seen that I had to go elsewhere. I felt uncomfortable and terrible for the other patients waiting. Do NOT recommend this "business", please save yourself the headache, time, and drama! read more

so I decided to get contacts and finally renew my eye prescription. So its 1:00 pm and I call and get an appointment for 2:00. I arrive at 2:00 fill out the paperwork and within 10 minutes am having my intial eye exam. ten minutes later the Dr. comes in and tells me that I am going to require a specialist and luckily for me he is visiting from Ocean Spring. Dr. makes a appt for next day and tells me, "I am not going to charge you for looking at your eye. Also go next door and tell them I sent you and get those glasses fixed." I go next door get the nose pad replaced FREE of charge. Dr. Barker was very nice, professional and explained to me my eye problem better than the Dr. who first diagnosed me. If I didn't require a specialist I would definitely be making this place my eye care place. read more

Dr. Barker did an eye exam for me a few years ago when I first moved down. He was nice and friendly, professional and my prescription was spot on. Fast forward a few years and I needed another prescription, but out of convenience I went elsewhere. What a mistake. Two visits and this other doctor still couldn't get my prescription right. I bit the bullet and decided to go back to Dr. Barker and man am I glad that I did! Told him what was going on and he set about with the exam. Exam was done and just as I had expected the other doctor was wrong even after two trips! Dr. Barker wrote me the right prescription I needed, thank goodness! I told him about the headaches I was having and he fully explained that they were not visual and went on to explain why. Was having some eye discomfort, he gave me some complimentary drops and sent me on my way. Thanks Dr. Barker! You rock! read more

In 63 years, this is the first BAD REVIEW I have written. I do so for conscience sake, feeling it my duty to warn others that might be led down the same path that my wife and I were. We spent much of our time and money for bad prescriptions. Mine did not contain any correction for my astigmatism, and my wife's prescription was so off that she literally could not wear her new high end glasses when they arrived. When I returned to question him about my prescription, he became very agitated and quite frankly very rude. Rather than make a scene, I decided to go to another optometrist. My wife is also having to go to another doctor for a new fitting. We will NEVER use this man again. If you decide to, know that you have been warned and that you are doing so at your own risk. GOOD LUCK ! read more

The front desk staff are difficult to deal with, very unprofessional with poor customer service skills. If I could give 0 stars I would. My husband and 2 daughters have been going here since we moved about 3 years ago. Almost 2 years ago one of the women at the desk who doesn't wear a name badge or offer her name, demanded my daughters social security number before they would see her. I told her that I don't give my childrens social security numbers out and she said I had to or they couldn't bill the insurance or see her. We have Spectara, they don't need her social security number. It was a total power and control thing for her. She was argumentive and rude. When I called my husband, he called and told her she didn't need the social security number, after calling the insurance, they finally saw her but the staff was rude the rest of the visit. When we walked next door to get her glasses I was still upset. They woman who filled the prescription asked what was wrong and I told her and she said she is very rude and they get a lot of complaints about her. I said then the doctor should fire her and hire someone who knows how to talk to customers and deal with the public. This is one of the closest providers our insurance covers or we would have gone somewhere else a long time ago. Today, my husband got a call that my daughters temporary contacts were in for pick up. I ran by after picking the girls up after school and was told that they couldn't see her because she needed an appointment and they were closing. I got very upset. They could have explained that on the phone. I work full time, go to school full time and my husband works 2 jobs. They should give good information to customers in order to help meet customers needs and schedules. After some exchange they told me it was going to be a while to be seen and I had no choice since I don't have any availability for a while. I brought up the horrible customer reviews to make a point that this is an ongoing problem at this office. After the visit the same woman who argued with me about the social security card said that the poor reviews I brought up were not them, it was a whole new staff. I couldn't believe it, she looked me in the eye and lied. Maybe she doesn't remember the social security card incident or the fact that the eyeglass company next door has staff who discuss how rude she is. Honestly, the customer service is too big an issue and they lying is the last straw. After this visit and contacts, we will find a new provider. I am the customer, eye doctors are a dime a dozen and I do not need to be treated this way. A simple, I'm sorry about that, let me see how I can help you with this would have gone a long way. Or I apologize, let me check with the doctor. I work, I get to decide where to spend my money. It won't be here anymore. read more

If I could give 1/2 star that it all they would get. Dr. Barker is great. However, waiting 5 weeks for contacts to come in is completely unacceptable. After multiple calls and no answers I am at the point of cancelling and ordering them myself from 1-800 contacts. At least that way I get them in less than a week and no BS. read more

horrible - rude receptionists, completely knowledgeable about insurance or eye exams. Charges almost double for a contact exam (really, who does that??) read more
