Richard Maw, M.D.

From the moment I walked into the place, everyone was extremely nice and helpful. Everyone is kind and welcoming, and they definitely put patients first. The free consultation was quick and easy, and everyone made sure to answer any questions I had and get rid of any fears. Dr. Maw and his tech kept giving me reassurance the whole way through the surgery. I was a bit nervous before we started, but it was actually really quick, easy, and painless. I just had my surgery yesterday morning and I’m already seeing with 20/20 vision and everything is healing nicely. Everyone I interacted with made me feel comfortable about the procedure and they were just as excited for me as I was. I couldn’t have hoped for a better experience and I would definitely recommend Dr. Maw and his whole team at LasikPlus to anyone looking to get LASIK!

Just wrapping up my follow up and testing at 20/20 vision less than 24 hours after my procedure! The staff here has been phenomenal! They are as excited about my vision improvements as I am and happy to celebrate recovery with me! The staff from consultation to post-procedure are patient, thorough and professional. During my procedure, my doctor was clear with instructions and reinforcement that I was doing great. He was assisted by another woman who was patient and helped me move around during and after the treatment. Both were very efficient and confident. Helped put my mind at ease. The front desk staff is super friendly and I’ve enjoyed every minute at this location - which can’t be said for many other medical offices I’ve been in throughout my life!

Finished up my follow up appointment, and could see 20/20. I liked that the surgeon walked through in detail the steps that he was taking and counted down how many seconds were left. Aftercare is simple with taking the eye drops and the pills. I would highly recommend lasik to anyone that is interested in it.

They were all amazing and the girls let me hold there hands during the procedure which definitely helped. They answered all my silly questions with a smile on there faces. I had a lot of anxiety going into this and they did everything to keep me comfortable and relaxed, i have recommended them to everyone that’ll listen 😊

Dr. Maw and his team are compassionate, knowledgeable, and energetic. They go above and beyond to make your experience the best it can be. You are not “just another patient” here. They greet you by name as soon as you walk in the door and treat you with utmost respect and compassion throughout the entire process. The tech and Dr. Maw verbally confirm what procedure is being done with the patient as well as confirming with each other the exact number settings, eliminating any room for error. Dr. Maw and his tech are encouraging throughout the surgery & verbalize that everything is going as planned. I appreciated that he let me know how long was left (10 seconds, 5 seconds, etc.). I’m less than 24 hours out from surgery, my eyes are comfortable and my vision is 20/15! I’ve had glasses/contacts since early elementary. It is truly amazing to be able to see so clearly with my own eyes. Thank you LasikPlus Des Moines for the best experience and vision!
