Dr. Knight is the standard bearer for excellent eye care on the Mississippi Gulf Coast. He's a veteran eye doctor and a major retina and macula specialist. He also performs a lot of very successful cataract surgeries. I've been a patient for years and nobody can touch his ability at other clinics.
They made the extra effort to make sure every question and concern I had was addressed. Everyone in my community knows that they are the absolute best in the field. Their advanced and sophisticated equipment was like none I've ever seen before. I was very impressed with how high tech everything in their office was. They really go above and beyond to make me feel special. I've never been anywhere that seems to care more about their clients than here. They keep the restrooms well-stocked here, and not just with the basics. There is mouthwash, lotion and other amenities. You can tell they want their clients to be as comfortable as possible.
