I called the Optical department at Sam's Club to see if they did eye exams, and they referred me to Dr. Robert Lee whose office is just outside their entrance. I had called 3 other optometrists in the Jackson area today, and 2 of them were more expensive, and 1 did not call me back speedily. Dr. Lee returned my call immediately and had the best rate so I decided to give him a shot.
I think this was possibly among my favorite visits to a health care practicioner of any kind! He really heard my concerns and preferences about my glasses prescription (most optometrists end up with a prescription that is too strong for me and gives me a headache) and took so much time to explain and answer random questions.
Maybe people in the south are just friendlier! I am told they are, as I live in California. In any case, I am referring my best friend who lives locally in Jackson and went on Yelp especially to start a new page for his business - as Yelp does not seem to be heavily used in Jackson, MS so far as I have noticed thus far in a week of living here for work.
Dr. Lee is TOP NOTCH. :) read more
