Background and History

Retief Skin Center traces its roots to 1980 and today operates under the leadership of Dr. Carla Retief, MD, who has practiced dermatology since 1999. Dr. Retief brought her experience and artistic eye to Middle Tennessee and built the center into a comprehensive skin care destination combining medical and cosmetic dermatology.

The practice is distinguished by Dr. Retief’s expertise in Mohs micrographic surgery — she removes an estimated 800–1,000 skin cancers per year — as well as advanced minimally invasive cosmetic techniques performed under local anesthesia. Over the years the center has grown into a full-service practice with an accomplished team of nurses and aesthetic staff, a loyal multigenerational patient base, and its own BuffRx product line.
