Went to the Walmart clinic in Picayune and saw Dr. Echols. She was very sweet and explained everything to me. I would highly recommend her.

I had a recent full eye exam with Dr. Echols in Picayune in the Walmart building. I found her excellent - highly professional and great patient manner. I would absolutely go to her in the future and highly recommend her.

I've seen a few Eye Doctors since the onset of diabetes about 3 years ago and I must say I am glad I found Southern Eye Care. The Doctors and other staff are friendly and helpful and do not mind explaining to a nervous and sometimes bewildered person what is going on, why it is happening, and what will be done about it. I truly got the impression that they were trying to help, not just making a paycheck and I can't stress this enough: They were happy to take the time to explain what was happening at any given time. :

Dr. Griffith is AMAZING! I was nervous when I walked through the door for my consultation, but the staff was very welcoming and comforting. After meeting with Dr. Griffith I knew that I was in great hands. My experience was sent over the top when Dr. Griffith offered to pray with me prior to beginning my LASIK procedure, this put me at ease. Thanks for the wonderful work!
