  • "Doctor Retter is an excellent doctor. The cancer treatment that he gave my dad has worked a lot for him. All of his office staff is very pleasant. It is very easy for a person who doesn't speak English to communicate, because I lot of his staff speak Spanish. I am very satisfied with the services that my dad receives there. I highly recommend Dr. Retter."
