Our Story

Dr. Thomas M. Aaberg, Jr founded Retina Specialists of Michigan in January 2009 to provide comprehensive retinal service, guided by the belief that patient care should be expert, efficient and personable. One year later, Dr. Scott Westhouse returned home to West Michigan, and joined the Retina Specialists’ team.

From humble beginnings, our practice has expanded rapidly — a testament to the quality of care provided by our team of physicians and staff who embody these ideals. In 2014, we doubled in size when two more doctors joined us: Dr. Nathan Pezda who completed his fellowship training in Toronto before moving to Grand Rapids, and Dr. Liliya Shevchenko who finished her fellowship training with our practice that same year.

Our doctors are committed to providing the best surgical care, aiding in the advancement of medicine through our involvement in clinical research trials, and advocating for our patients. With the addition of Dr. Shevchenko, our practice brings expertise to the specialized field of retinal degeneration and dystrophies. We are also the only ophthalmology practice in the area to specialize in ocular oncology. Our physicians operate clinics in Grand Rapids, Holland, Muskegon, and Big Rapids to better serve our community and the greater West Michigan region.
