First, the doctor who performed my mother's cataract surgery did an excellent job. Kiper Nelson is…read morefirst rate. My complaint is about office procedures. This facility books more patients for surgery than they have the space to comfortably handle. Their post-op room accommodates only two patients. Yet, they book patients one after the other. To resolve this problem, Southern Eye Center has the following choices: 1. They could rearrange their use of space to accommodate more post-op patients. . 2. They could book fewer patients. 3. They could rent a larger office building. They did none of that. Instead, I was told that I could not leave the office building because they have had a hard time getting someone back on time and then they have trouble handling the post-op patients. In other words, they thought it was okay to restrict my freedom of movement *without prior notice* in order to help THEM make more money. Of course, this restriction hindered MY ability to make money. If they had told me before, I would have brought something to do. But they did not tell me before. Heaven forbid that they should show some consideration for the people who are helping THEM make money by driving their patients to the office. I had to sit in a waiting room with NO magazines, no TV, no nothing. I think it is lousy that this facility expected me to help them make more money without there being anything in it for me. I was, in effect, working for free. Also, when your freedom of movement is being restricted without financial compensation, you are in jail. When people are being paid thousands of dollars to treat a patient, it is *their* obligation to manage their patient load well. The responsibility should not be mine--someone who is not being paid one red cent. I need cataract surgery soon I will not choose a practice that had so little regard for me, my time, and my money.

I can't even think of a negative comment, everyone at this place treated me like I was family. Cameron Griffith was my doctor, he explained the procedure and answered every question I asked like I was the only person in the clinic. I am writing this review 10 days after procedure and I'm very satisfied, feel like God has given me new eyes. I would recommend this place and procedure for anyone with doubts about where to go and getting it done. Can't say enough good about this place and the staff . I give them a 10+, keep up the good work.

I have never felt compelled to write a review about an eye doctor before... or any physician for…read morethat matter .I really felt that I needed to this time. I have just returned from the office of Hattiesburg eye clinic on hospital Drive and really felt I needed to share this experience. I had an appointment originally scheduled for July 14. I went to that scheduled appointment and had been waiting for about an hour and a half. I still had not called in to the back office where I knew I would continue to wait. I had another physician appointment And so I felt I needed to reschedule my original ophthalmology appointment. I rescheduled for August 14 at 2:40. I called them at 8:30 this morning to verify that I indeed had an appointment as I had not received an email. I found that very unusual because I had received a reminder email for the July 14 appointment. When verifying my email, they told me they did not have my email correctly the computer and they would correct that. I was told that I did indeed have an appointment for August 14 at 2:40. When I arrived to the front desk to check in... They could not find my appointment. They found an appointment for me but it was on August 20. I knew I had not made an appointment for August 20 because I will be out of town. The person at the front desk was very kind. She went to the back to discuss this appointment with "someone"She came back and said that I did not have an appointment, but that they would "fit me inafter waiting for so long on July 14... I knew what being "fit in" would look like. I knew I would be waiting for quite some time. I have made another appointment with a different doctor for September. I'm so very disappointed. This office has come so highly recommended to me. I am extremely concerned that their patients are not their first priority at this point. A word of caution to anyone who is attempting to see an eye doctor at Hattiesburg eye clinic... Double check, and triple check your appointment and be prepared to wait no matter what .

One of her teachers thought it might be a vision problem and suggested Belle Vue. We took her for a diagnosis and sure enough, she had an issue with her vision that impacted learning. We noticed progress after the first (of 12) therapy sessions. Our 5 year old went from only being able to remember 2 letters of the alphabet to being able to remember all of them and spelling 5 and 6 letter words...in a matter of weeks! By the time she finished her course of treatment she went from being the worst of 18 students to being #2. This kind of therapy didn't exist when I was a kid and at first it kind of seemed like voodoo or something. But the therapy works, and the diagnosis made sense. On top of all that, the staff is incredibly caring and puts their heart and soul into their patients. We were genuinely sad when our daughter's therapy came to an end. I hope other families out there will be able to experience the same turnaround that we did.
