Patient Reviews
Jun 07, 2018
Dr. Igor Westra was my primary doctor and performed my surgery, while Dr. van Rens and Dr. Holt also provided hands on treatment on days when Dr. Westra was not available. All three doctors are skilled surgeons and work seamlessly as a team. In short, the doctors and staff at Retina of Coastal Carolina are professional and competent and exceptionally patient focused. From the receptionist, the nurses and support staff, to the three primary doctors-the care is exceptional.
