Des Moines Eye Surgeons

I highly recommend Des Moines Eye Surgeons! Dr. Raecker and his team are all so patient, kind and willing to answer any questions or concerns one may have. All of the staff are warm, welcoming and extremely competent. I knew I was in good, capable hands for my two corneal tissue transplant surgeries. Dr. Raecker is the best, supported well by his Assistant Bre! Highly recommended!

We had a great experience with the left cataract. Dr Ball and his team were professional and polite and made me feel comfortable. Looking forward to my right eye in a few weeks - Vince Collins Right eye completed. Very pleased with the outcome. Thank you Dr. Ball and staff☆ The surgery center made me feel comfortable. -Vince Collins

I also experienced having to go through several people before seeing a rushed doctor. The facility responded to a previous review and said it is so the doctor can take more time reviewing tests and on the exam itself; however, the whole reason for my visit was because I am experiencing a problem with my vision. It was clear the doctor never read any of the paperwork I submitted explaining the problem and tried to rush me out the door before talking about the problem at all whatsoever. Seems like my vision problem should've been discussed before they started doing any testing and before dilating mty eyes to ensure we were doing appropriate testing to address my problem. Instead, I left with a referral to a family physician--at the time, I assumed it was a neurologist or some sort of specialist, so I am very confused. Maybe things were so rushed and my problem wasn't taken seriously because I was the last appointment of the day? I'm not sure what happened here, but this was an extremely discouraging experience and I will be seeking a second opinion. Lastly, I experienced the same problem other people had with the facility entering my information incorrectly so they couldn't find my insurance. I wondered why the lady was SO apologetic about it, which now makes sense knowing it is a repetitive issue.

A very good experience for my cataract surgery. Dr. Blodi did a superb job from the initial exam all the way through surgery. Everybody was very nice and went out of their way to make me comfortable. It was a very good experience with the outcome being perfect vision without glasses. I highly recommend Dr. Blodi and Des Moines Eye Surgeons....

I’m new to Iowa and this was my first eye appointment here. It’ll also be the last. I’m not sure if this is a policy in Iowa but having to go in with 3 different people to get tested, go back to the waiting room twice and then being rushed by the Dr., but I’ll definitely not be returning. I’m used to being with 1 medical person and 1 doctor in the same room to have everything done. Not having to go back and forth twice. The Dr came in for just a couple of minutes and basically told me the opposite of what my long time Dr has been telling me for years. He never did address 2 issues I had asked about. Also, the person doing the 2nd testing couldn’t wait for her patient. Just called out his name and rushed back to the room. The poor guy was wearing a boot for an injury and he was practically trying to run to catch up to the lady. It feels like a drive thru restaurant . Get them in and out as fast as they can. Not a very personable clinic. I guess I’m not used to so many medical people not liking their jobs down here.
