My experience with Dr Retief and her staff could not have been any better. Dr Retief was kind and professional and made me feel at ease. Highly recommend!

Let me start this review by saying I have never written a review for any establishment, business, or medical professional before. However, my "experience" with Dr. Carla Retief is one that has led me in and out of the hospital, unemployed, and still suffering from. On May 1st, I went in to have a biopsy on a small mole on my left thigh done. On May 5th I was told I had Stage I Melanoma & it needed ...

I have gone to Dr. Retief for botox and she has always done a great job. I have been to her for this treatment 4 times and have always been happy with my results

YIKES. This woman is an antivaxxer and can be seen on the social media posts of The Tennessean sharing these views under her actual name. I wouldn’t trust a dermatologist who can’t understand simple vaccine research and who would let her understanding of science be clouded by her political views.

They continue to send me bills even after I've paid in full. They send letters threatening to ruin my credit rating. I even went in person to get this issue resolved by showing where I had already paid in full, but a man in a foreign accent was so rude and refused to acknowledge the issue or resolve it. They may think billing patients twice will double their revenue, and maybe it does, but it's poor business ethics and the poor attitude and condescending rudeness makes the problem that much worse for the patients/victims.

My 23 year old daughter went to Dr. Retief in 7/19 upon recommendation of my friend who was already a patient. My daughter had a mole on her right calf that had changed over the past year. Dr. Retief diagnosed her mole as seborrheic keratosis and did nothing about it. In 1/20 I happen to see the mole, noticing it had changed even more and insisted she go back to Dr. Retief right away. She did and when Dr. Retief saw it this time, 6 months later, she immediately removed it and did a biopsy. A few days later, Dr. Retief called my daughter and advised that the mole was indeed Melanoma, Stage 2. I called the office and asked to speak with Dr. Retief directly and she never called me back. Her nurse and business manager called me - one to "cover" for Dr. Retief saying she was completely correct in her 7/19 diagnosis; the other to ask for payment. Fortunately, my daughter had the cancer removed by another doctor. ADVICE: NEVER, EVER GO TO THIS DOCTOR AS SHE MISSED THIS CANCER!

Dr Retief is a highly skilled skin cancer surgeon who performed very intricate surgery and reconstruction on my face without a flaw. You can hardly tell there was any surgery performed.She did it with humor,care and great compassion, and made me feel totally at ease. Her staff love her, and it is obvious she loves them. The aftercare was the best I have ever received-constant follow up and hand holding. I adore Carla Retief and her staff.

I had not one but two (shame on me) injuries as a result of both poorly maintained equipment and from Dr. Retief not doing due diligence around the risks of her laser treatment on my type of skin, (none were shared with me), something every dermatologist and plastic surgeon since has said she should absolutely know and warn about. I’m left with visible scarring and discoloration on my face for the rest of my life, and am not able to get a response from Dr. Retief or her office despite sending emails and certified mail. and the legal statute of limitations has not run out to pursue further action. Don’t make the mistake I made— think twice before going here or at least get a second opinion!!

Dr Retief was recommended by friends and neighbors, and after several years in her care she has been nothing but wonderful.She is a highly skilled surgeon and after several cancer surgeries on my face, and one reconstruction, you cannot tell she ever did these surgeries.Her staff, Tammie,Lindsay,Laurie & Adam and Terri helped me through a very scary time. I cannot say thank you enough times.The after care was just about the best I have ever experienced. Dr.Retief is beautiful inside and out. THANKS GUYS!
