Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

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.

Dr westra is quiet and doesn't explain procedures well. You have to ask a lot of questions.
