  Beware their billing practices... Went for an annual checkup on 2/6/26 at 7:45am. All went as normal with the exam (eye test, dilation, eye pressure, etc). Dr. told me that she was impressed that my vision had not changed in two years and that coming in once/year for checkup was perfect. When I went to leave, the lady at front desk charged me $234. I thought this was very high since annual eye exams had been a simple co-pay. The young lady told me that was the amount that my insurance said I had to pay. I paid it with my debit card and figured something had changed with insurance (that I was unaware of). I was given no paperwork and had to ask to get a receipt for my debit card payment. After getting home, I checked my insurance and sure enough, my annual eye exam should have been a $10 copay. I contacted the office at 10:45am (same day) to have this corrected. I was told that, since "I'd received a medical diagnosis", the visit had been filed under my health insurance. That they could not bill both insurances. Then I was told that my $10 copay was actually included in what I'd paid. I told the person that I'd received no "medical diagnosis", had received zero paperwork, and actually had to specifically ask for even a receipt for payment. Nope, they wouldn't budge. On 2/7/26 at 8PM, I got an automated text message asking if I was satisfied with my visit. When I responded 'no', I got a response that someone would be in touch with me within 24-48 hours to address my concerns... Yeah, today is 2/15/26 and I've received no call, text, or other communication. The $234 charge posted to my bank account on 2/9/26. But, since the automated text message did ask for a Google review, I thought that this is the least I could do. I will not be back. I'm now digging into which regulatory bodies I can report this to. It's not right to improperly bill insurance (and patients) this way.

  Absolutely Love Dr Bahader. She is an excellent doctor. Her staff is responsive and they give you explicit instructions for your eye procedure. I have referred several patients and they have been very pleased as well

  The eye doctor is very good, but the scheduling not so much. I waited 2 months for an appointment, my appointment time was 9:00 am. So far I have been waiting almost 25 minutes. It's funny how when the patient is late they want to charge you a late fee but if they overbook the appointments they don't care. I took off work for this appointment and figured I would be in and out. That was my first mistake.

  These wonderful (and I mean it!) eye doctors work in both Ocean Springs and at their Biloxi clinic, so I'm very familiar with their work and quick (soothing) results. I also got LASIK from Dr. Bahadur and have 2020 vision now. My family goes to them and we all are so pleased. I agree - the best on the coast! (They also have a Gulfport clinic.)
