I'll start this review by saying that I visited this office several weeks ago. I didn't want to…read moreleave a review until I was able to visit another office for a second opinion, which I did today. So much about my appointment at eye examiners was strange, that I'll have to just give you the high points. After my exam was completed, the doctor discussed my prescription with his assistant in front of me, and changed his mind about it several times, saying things like "actually I think I'll try this". This was very confusing to me, as I know that a vision exam always yields a conclusive result. He then told me that my vision had spontaneously improved and my astigmatism had gone away. I did question him about this, because I was under the impression that vision did not simply "spontaneously improve" at my age unless there was a greater issue at play affecting the eyes (diabetes, cataracts, etc). The doctor replied that he "tries to decrease patients prescriptions whenever he can". The doctor also told me that I failed my field test (a test I've never had done before), which meant I had a one in ten chance of having an eye disease which he never named. I was then told they did not have my prescription of contacts in stock, so they would give me something better than what I already had at home until my new prescription came in. I put in that pair and went to the desk to pay. They then called me back to the sink and told me to take the right contact out because they had once again decided they wanted to "try something different with that eye". I knew immediately upon putting in those contacts that something was not right, but I did not question it, because I do not like to be difficult, and I wanted to believe the doctor knew what he was doing. So I waited hours hoping they would eventually become clearer. They never did. I could not see five feet in front of me in those contacts. It's a miracle I made it home. Today I saw a different eye doctor, who confirmed that my experience was strange, and my vision had not spontaneously improved, my astigmatism had not gone away, but actually worsened, and I showed no signs of having any eye health issues. This was so validating to hear. All that said, I would not recommend this establishment to anyone in my life. Go anywhere else and you'll be better off.

Staff is great! The girls are always happy and smiling. Clinic atmosphere is good, you will wait a…read morelittle while unless you get the first appointment in the morning or right after lunch but clinics get busy and I get that. BUT what I didn't like is how the doctor talks to his staff. I understand wanting your clinic to run smoothly but there is no reason to make these sweet girls cry. They are obviously trying their best and he was belittling them in front of patients and it's not cool. They are probably struggling to make ends meet and coming to work everyday where someone treats them poorly is a horrible life to live. I hope he takes a little bit of gratitude that they continue show up and continue to do their best for him, being nice will get you a lot further than being mean. It's obviously a very Christian place since he is giving out bibles but God does not want you to use your authority to be mean to the people who work for you. Please treat them better I feel so bad for that girl who was crying :(

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 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 .
