She was very personal about my wants and needs. When we decided on a procedure, it was entirely painless. I had same procedure done by previous doctors with painful results. She is amazing! Nurse Tammy explained after care very thoroughly to me. I felt treated like a queen!

Dr. Retief is the consummate professional. She is highly competent and communicates clearly, transparently, and helpfully with an emphasis on improving my state of wellness. Her thoroughness is head and shoulders above her peers. She is insightful and respectful, offering suggestions and options. I wish all physicians, surgeons, and caregivers provided the high level of care and concern consistently offered by Dr. Retief.

Dr. Retief as well as her entire staff are extremely pleasant and helpful. I took my wife along so she could see why I am so positive about Dr. Retief. Despite having not seen her in almost 3 years, her staff scheduled my appointment quickly and got me in to see her right away. She took care of my situation immediately.

Treated me like I was the only pt. they had that day. Answered my many questions. Best of all, my face looks amazing since starting BuffRx products. Felt they truly know skin and not everyone treated the same.
