He was fellowship-trained at the Harvard Medical School and received his medical degree from the University of Iowa College of Medicine.

I was extremely nervous about getting this procedure done, but it turned out to not be a huge deal. It's not like it tickled, but it wasn't THAT bad. Process was done and over with in about 15 minutes or so. Worst part was the 6 or 7 hours after everything was finished. Couldn't even really open my eyes. I went home, took melatonin, slept it off, and when I woke up, I could see perfectly aside from times my eyes got dry. 100% would recommend this procedure, and especially this location. All of the staff were great, but the nurse who did all the tests, and took all the pictures was especially wonderful. She knew I was EXTREMELY nervous, so she kept me calm and reassured during the procedure. She even went to far as to hold my hand during, and help me put to the car afterwards. I really appreciated how genuinely friendly my nurse and everyone else was. I 100% recommend both this procedure and this particular location! Thanks for the great experience!
Does 20/15 vision sound good to you? I thought so as I was being told that today during my post op appointment!! I had my procedure on Thursday. Everything went so quickly, and while I felt no pain, it was definitely pretty weird, but nothing anyone couldn’t handle. I was in that operating room itself probably about 5 minutes. All the stuff leading up to the actual procedure took longer than the procedure itself. How amazing is that? As I was leaving, it’s obviously still hazy, but I could immediately tell it worked. So crazy!! It’s surreal waking up in the morning and not having to reach for your glasses. If you have been on the fence, I urge you to at least schedule a free consult to see if you’re a good candidate. I know it’s still early for me, but this is going to be life changing!
Great Service & team! They walk you through the steps of what to expect and will answer any questions you have. They will take care of you like you are one of their own! They will prepare you for the surgery and make sure you have nothing to worry about. During the surgery, they are also very helpful and make sure you are doing okay! They also walk you through the steps of the after care with a follow up the next day. The LasikPlus team cares about their patients. If I could go through the experience again, I would definitely choose LasikPlus again. Highly Recommend!
An amazing experience! Dr. Maw and his team made me feel comfortable & at ease from the very start. The other associates were very kind, remembered my name each visit and knew all their information to any questions asked. Highly recommend this team of experts!
The team here is highly educated & friendly. They made me feel at ease before my procedure, which took only 10-15 min. The next day I am seeking 20/15 but still a bit hazy. Over the next couple weeks it will only get better. So glad I went through with it, should have done it years ago! Update: 8 weeks later, still seeing halos/haze. I know everyone's experience is different but just wanted to warn anyone who has -8.0 prescription like mine. Hopefully will go away by the 6 month mark.
