Good eye exam, but can't find my vision problems — Gary N.
(Patient since 2018)
Had a good exam, no problems with my eyes, but couldn't address the vision problems i'm having, apparently their not related to the eye itself. but must be in the nerves or muscles controlling the eyes, or damage from the Statin drugs that have caused the problems.

Serving Mom — Mildred H.
(Patient since 2017)
I wish they'd tried to put her n the regular chair rather leave her in the wheelchair because of the inability to do a more accurate pressure check for glc. I know it's getting more/more difficult for her to transfer from one sitting to another. Just wanted to make sure eye pressures are safest for her.

Des Moines Eye Surgeons help with keeping me current with eye exam and health on a yearly basis. When you arrive you receive a friendly greeting, minimal paper work, and for the most part a timely exam with a review of the previous year and the changes-if any-on the current visit.

Everything was great up until I checked out. The person checking me out had no personality at all. I felt as though I was interrupting her stuffing envelopes!

(Patient since 2018)
Moving from one area to the next was easily done with appropriate wit time. Dr. S suggested that my wife talk to the contact lens specialist about a problem she had taking out lenses. He said she may have tips. We waited over 20 minutes to speak to her. She was very busy and could not respond at the time. No call back was ever done. That was disappointing.

(Patient since 2019)
Most comprehensive eye exam I have had to date. The process was very effecient and professional. All the technicians were very considerate, and I felt very comfortable with Dr. Sarno.
Mar 18, 2019
Patient Portal — Marie N.
(Patient since 2019)
Processing runs a little too fast between patient & doctor assistant, and between patient & checkout desk. A 'Patient Portal' would accommodate the patient quite well for things like access to prescriptions, when the ball is dropped by assistant and checkout desk. Receiving the prescription by USPS is not efficient when the patient lives in an area where mail service is 2-stars at best.

The staff is great and always very helpful and understanding and Dr. Steffensmeier is awesome in giving me feedback on my eye problems and what is best to do. Great place to have eyes checked and large selection of eye wear to choose from. Very knowledgeable in all areas.
Mar 12, 2019
Dr. Steffensmaier needs better patience — Barbara H.
(Patient since 2019)
The staff in general are very nice, however are Dr. Steffensmaier does not do well with the elderly. My mother likes to talk and he does not take the time to listen to “non related” conversation. Twice I saw him mention to his assistant to get her out of the room. Amazingly enough, my co-worker has said the same thing.

(Patient since 2018)
I tell everyone about you. I've passed out I don't know how many of Dr Ball's business cards in the last five years. The reason is the office staff -- well Dr Ball is great too, but I have never been in a professional office where everyone I come in contact with is as warm and friendly as well as professional as your whole staff is.

(Patient since 2017)
I am only giving the office environment a "fair" because there is no restroom convenient to use like at Wolfe Clinic. You can't "go" in between getting your eyes dilated and checked by the doctor because you don't know if you'll have time, since the restroom is out in the front entrance. Also, you do not have a handicap accessible restroom. The door is too heavy for me to open, so afterwards,one of the girls offered to accompany me and open the door for me, wait on me, and then open it again to help me out. I appreciated her immensely. But it would be better to have a push-button door on the restrooms like you have on the front entrance.

Dr. Hammer and his staff are very friendly and very efficient. I had cataract surgery on both eyes. On both surgeries they were right on time and took very little time. I had worn glasses for 55 years and now only use reading glasses to read. Dr. Hammer made followup calls to me at home the day of surgery to see if I was doing okay. That impressed me! I had to have a little laser followup procedure done, which went great also. Walked out of the surgery center being able to see great.

I first met Dr. Raecker several years ago when he had a Fellowship with Dr.Greiner in Iowa City whom I was seeing at that time. I have continued to see him since he joined Des Moines Eye Surgeons in West Des Moines. I feel that he and his assistant, Bre, have provided me with the very best of care and I couldn't be more pleased. They, as well as SherrieYoung who fitted me with contacts, have all been wonderful. I could not have asked for better care than I have received from the entire staff at Des Moines Eye Surgeons!

(Patient since 2018)
I enjoyed the front office staff and reception, as well as the nurse that took me back. However, when I was with the doctor he was very short, seemed like he was in a rush, was not personable, and I didn't feel listened to. I was/have been in a lot of pain and he offered little to no suggestions on how to make it better since there was nothing wrong with any of my results. When I had to do some extra tests, those people didn't make the experience much better. Very rushing and not personable. The only positive parts about my experience was the ease of making an appointment, the front staff, and the initial nurse. Other than that, I am not very pleased.

(Patient since 2017)
I have been seeing Dr Hammer for about 9 years. I may not even be alive at this point if it wasn't for Dr Hammer's amazing talent and caring. Over the years I had always seen Optometrists for my vision needs. Because of having Type II Diabetes my family doctor, Dr Doug Timboe, highly suggested I start see an Ophtamologist so they could perform the proper testing for damage. During my first visit to Dr Hammer, he was doing a very extensive examination of my eyes with strong lights and hand held scopes. All of a sudden, his jaw dropped and he had a very concerning look on his face. He told me he had spotted something on the back of my left eye and wanted to have another Dr. look at it. Within a hour he had me at another clinic and another Dr was soon doing an examination. They concurred there was something of concern and immediately set up a special appointment for me with Dr Boldt at the University of Iowa Eye Clinic. I was there in two days. After a few hours of extensive observations, exrays, scoping and scanning I was diagnosed with Ocular Melanoma with a cancerous tumor of about 8MM growing behind my eye. I had no symptoms of any kind. First I was in denial and then in shock after I found out what could have happen if it hadn't been caught in time. Loss of vision or even loss of the eye was the least of the concern. They informed me that these tumors tend to leave the eye when untreated and almost always mastesise to the liver. Life expectancy at that point is very short. Fortunately, the tumor was just barely within the size that can be treated and they were able to perform the treatment at the University of Iowa, one of a very few places in the country that has a proven process of doing so. I have continued to see Dr. Hammer and Dr. Boldt over the years on a rotating 6 month basis. The tumor still remains but is basically just a scar on the back of my eye and barely detectable even with the scopes. I can't thank Dr Hammer enough for his care.
