If I could give Southern Eye 10 stars for their high quality care and patient-centered approach, I…read morewould do so. For over10 years I have seen Drs. Heitman, Hack and Williams for complex eye problems. And in every case, at every visit, I have been struck by their kindness, compassion and their extraordinary professionalism. All the staff have treated me with that same consideration. I have friends who have gone there for years--and all say the same about their doctors and their experience. During my last visit, I mentioned to Dr Williams that I had recently told a friend that if I ever need us spirit lift, all I'd have to do is stop in Southern Eye! Note: I wrote this second review because Yelp had said the first one wasn't posted for some technical reason.

Nothing was good about my experience with Dr Cole and Southern Eye Associates…read more Waited over 1.5 hours to have the assistant get upset with my service dog in training- which they knew about when I made the appt. She walked out after 3 minutes. 10 minutes later Dr Cole came in to tell me, he was cancelling the appt and I could reschedule when someone can watch my dog. I said, I am not coming back. They tried charging me. I called my insurance to tell them not to pay, Dr Cole cancelled the appt after he slept in. I went to the front desk several times during the hour and half and none of them could tell me why I was still waiting. Went to Jervey Eye Group and had the greatest experience.

I've only had experiences with traditional eye exams. There's nothing extraordinary about this…read moreplace compared to other vision offices. You get what you expect from a traditional vision office: no fluff or frills, but decent service. What I will say, is that whenever I need an eye exam in a pinch, they are the only office to squeeze in an opening. The optometrist, Dr. Collins, takes time to explain eye health and answers any questions regarding eye health as it relates to family medical history. They're located conveniently off Woodruff Rd with multiple ways to get there. They accept most vision insurance plans. They are a hard working team.

Raise your hand if you scheduled your annual contact lens prescription exam and was seen by a…read moredifferent optometrist after being advised that your optometrist was "unavailable," and instead of a contact lens exam, this optometrist briefly checked your eyes, said she was "checking for dryness," as if it were clinically indicated, and proceeded to instill fluorescein sodium dye (yellow dye) in the form of liquid eyedrops described as dye only, without disclosing the anesthetic benoxinate hydrochloride that eliminated your ability to feel pain. Raise your hand if an undisclosed procedure was then performed where the doctor used four fingers to press up along the socket of your lower lids and down along the socket of your upper lids with enough force to make the globe of your eyes protrude forward while you were rendered incapable of registering pain or understanding that the technique and force were clinically damaging. Raise your hand if the provider later denied using fluorescein drops, and falsely claimed that she used fluorescein strips and you later learned that this claim was made not only hide the use of an undisclosed and unauthorized anesthetic, but to hide the dilation that occurred despite your refusal. Raise your hand if the same specialist examined your eyes with white, prolonged green, and blue lights, and immediately after the visit you developed severe light sensitivity, followed by worsening dry, achy, gritty eyes with blurred vision, tearing, contact‑lens intolerance, discomfort, eye fatigue, and delayed accommodative and motion‑tracking response, and when you called the practice, you were told the physician said the dye was "mostly water" and not causal--omitting the procedures she performed that are now retrospectively being labeled as routine. Raise your hand if you later learned the green light was used to examine the back of your eyes--something you'd declined, opting specifically for a limited scope exam--yet it was placed near‑last to conceal exam scope and added ocular harm. Raise your hand if your original optometrist said a nondilated retinal exam was "really, really super tough," then reversed course to praise the specialist once records showed she viewed your retina, as if you were unable to grasp the inconsistency. Raise your hand if you now live with chronic dry, achy eyes; light and weather sensitivity; eye fatigue; limited contact‑lens tolerance; blurred vision despite correction; and difficulty tracking motion--symptoms that have significantly disrupted your quality of life, work, and nursing program. Raise your hand if your medical record was falsified immediately after the exam to frame symptoms that occurred thereafter as pre‑existing, and McGregor and Associates colluded with another practice to reframe your medical history and diagnosis, blocking timely, relevant treatment by other providers, and instead scheduling their own follow-up to begin a pathway to treatment with them for symptoms that they themselves deliberately caused. Raise your hand if McGregor and Associates refused to release audit trails that would prove record tampering, and violated HIPAA by failing to provide a lawful amendment response to requests made almost a year ago. Raise your hand if you're still fighting for full accountability. On October 21, 2025, I entered McGregor and Associates with healthy eyes and left with damaged eyes and Meibomian Gland Dysfunction, an irreversible and progressive ocular disease--harm that was done deliberately with undisclosed anesthesia and undisclosed procedures performed outside of the standard of care. The full scale of harm is ongoing. McGregor and Associates are callous, complicit, and unscrupulous wastes of white coats, and a disgrace and danger to the profession of optometry. I refuse to address them as doctors, and I'm going to do my best to ensure they don't ever harm another patient again, and to ensure that those audit trails and my experience are both seen and heard.

I have been going to Dr Nigh since 2009 with brief breaks when I moved out of state. When I say…read morethat I can't recommend this office enough, I mean it more than I can possibly express. Everyone there is friendly and helpful, and Dr Nigh himself is the best eye doctor I've ever dealt with. I am extremely near sighted and have recently experienced a retinal detachment and they have always gone out of their way to do everything they absolutely can to fit me in for appointments, get me trial contacts, refer me to retina specialists, etc. Highly, highly recommend.

I left their office after she treated me with better vision because of the problem she caught; I feel truly blessed that I visited the Nigh Eye Group on Tuesday, May 7th, 2025, and I highly recommend them to everyone in the upstate to give them a look. Great group of doctors and a very good staff assisting them.
