Dr. Richard Maw's Bio and Credentials
Richard Maw, M.D. is board-certified by the American Board of Ophthalmology. He has performed over 35,000 LASIK procedures since 1999. He was fellowship-trained at the Harvard Medical School and received his medical degree from the University of Iowa College of Medicine. Dr. Maw has been trusted to perform LASIK on friends, family, doctors, surgeons (including other eye surgeons), lawyers, military fighter pilots, commercial airline pilots, Olympic athletes, and professional athletes. He has also had LASIK himself.
He has performed extensive research in ophthalmology and published numerous articles in peer review journals. He has presented dozens of scientific papers on LASIK to the American Society of Cataract and Refractive Surgery, the International Society of Refractive Surgery, and the Association for Research in Vision and Ophthalmology. Dr. Maw was among the first doctors in the world to prove that using larger optical zones during LASIK reduces the occurrence of night glare, and one of the first doctors in the Northeast to perform LASIK for hyperopia and hyperopia with astigmatism. He has participated in FDA monitored clinical trials for LASIK for hyperopia, LASIK for hyperopia with astigmatism, and scleral expansion band placement for the reversal of presbyopia with Dr. Soloway at the New York Eye and Ear Infirmary.

LasikPlus Reviews on Google
The staff is great and the customer service sets the bar. I had looked at other Lasik options elsewhere and they didnt communicate or seem to care, West DesMoines took the time to answer every question and walk you through each step along the way- including Dr Maw during the process! The 3 wonderful ladies at the front counter were fun and had a great sense of humor to keep the mood light and every customer I encountered in the waiting room reciprocated my thoughts as well. The first appointment can take a little while but it is because of ensuring everyone is taken care of. Fast easy process, clean environment A++++!
From the moment I scheduled my consultation and back for my follow up after surgery, it was a pleasant experience. Dr. McGlothan was the man and I wouldn’t want anyone else to perform this procedure (and that goes for any other doctor at the office). Definitely recommend Dr. McGlothan and the team that was present at my appointments!
Very professional and friendly staff from front to back. I went in on a Thursday with 20/400 nearsighted eyes and walked back in the next day with 20/20 vision for my check up. Highly recommend
