I have always been treated in a timely manner with no long waiting; everyone is friendly and knowledgeable about their part in my care, and I appreciate that they take the time to answer any questions I have and explain everything they are doing.
Dr. Jay Brown has gone the extra mile in restoring my eyesight, for which I am very thankful. He is not only very caring but also exceptionally talented. I will gladly recommend him to anyone in need of a retina specialist.
Being seen on such short notice, and having my emergency taken seriously, was greatly appreciated. Despite the extremely high tension, Dr. Propes and his staff were remarkably patient and understanding. His knowledge and precision in devising an aggressive treatment plan were highly respectable and favored by me.
Today's visit was just as pleasant and efficient as always. I want to extend my heartfelt thanks for the consistently professional care and kindness provided by the team at Mississippi Retina Associates. It is due to the expertise and dedication of the physicians, surgeons, and staff that I continue to have vision in each eye. I am forever grateful.
It was a very pleasant experience. I didn't have to wait long to be seen by both the staff and Dr. Brown. The staff were very friendly and took time to listen and respond to my questions.

School’s out. Screen time is up... and your child’s eyes might feel the strain. Too much time on phones, tablets, and games can lead to digital eye fatigue—even in young eyes. This summer, try the 20-20-20 rule: Every 20 minutes, look at something 20 feet away for 20 seconds. And don’t forget—summer is a great time to schedule that annual eye exam before the back-to-school rush. #HealthyVision #KidsEyeHealth #DigitalEyeStrain #SummerTips #OphthalmologyCare
