Reviews of Des Moines Plastic Surgery (Plastic Surgery)

Lindsey Poutre

From the moment I walked in and was greeted by Misty, I knew this office was going to be amazing. Misty answered all my questions prior to my consultation and put my mind at ease. Erin, the nurse I had most of the time, explained everything to me and addressed all of my questions and concerns. She was honest in giving her opinion and made me feel empowered in making the final decision for my implant size. Dr. Robbins is so professional and easy to talk to. He gave me his honest medical opinion and was so understanding in my reasoning for wanting plastic surgery (breast augmentation/tummy tuck). My surgery and recovery went really well. Honestly, my results blew me away! I couldn’t be more happy! His skillful hands have helped me get my confidence back. If you are even remotely considering plastic surgery, he is your guy. I won’t recommend anyone I know to anyone other than him. I am forever grateful to Dr. Robbins and his amazing team for all they did for me!

I had been to several consultations before decided to choose David Robbins. His nursing staff and him were all wonderful! I am only 3 days post op of a mommy makeover but I feel amazing and the results are already so impressive! Cant wait to see how I look a month from now! I would definitely recommend dr robbins!

I have been seeing Tricia A. for my skin since my move to Des Moines back in April 2018. She has to be the best injector I’ve ever been to and always has given me treatment options that will get me the result I’m looking for (without looking like anything is overdone). On top of being excellent at her craft, she is super kind and down to Earth.

Dr Robbins and his entire staff were great. The results of my Neograft turned out better than expected! I couldn't be happier

Krista Lindholm

Excellent care and results. Highly reccomend. Beautiful and modern facility.

I see his commercials on a local Iowa channel and I just shake my head. He mauled my arms; he took too much skin from my arms and they healed horribly. I had many infections and I'm just grateful that they healed up at all. Never mind the skin healing as if I was a burn patient. I will agree that his staff was wonderful. He knew he messed up and treated me poorly and curtly at follow-up appointments. I do NOT recommend him. Board Certified or not - he messed up my brachioplasty.

After losing 130 pounds, I set out to find a plastic surgeon to remove my loose skin, I decided to look outside of my area, I was referred by my esthetician in Iowa city. The minute I walked into DSM plastic surgery, I felt welcome... misty at the front desk is the sweetest, the consultation was great and I finally decided to go with Dr.Robbins. That was the best decision I ever made, the day of surgery I felt so taken care of, due to COVID, no one was aloud in with me, but I never felt alone, he has some of the best nurses! I’m now about 2 weeks post op & after being obese for most of my life and having loose skin after losing weight and only being 25, I have to say Dr.Robbins changed my life. He is so amazing at what he does. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. THANK YOU!

It was amazing! Pampering at it's finest!!! Definately going again!!!

Alyssa Smith

Having Dr. Robbins precision on the surgery side, & Mindy‘s (CRNA) lengthy experience & kind heart managing airway, there’s no-where else I would go! Any procedure requiring anesthesia is always somewhat daunting, but having the utmost confidence in your anesthesia & surgery team brings a great amount of peace. Dr. Robbins is exceptionally easy to talk with & makes certain you feel comfortable with all decisions. The entire staff, from Misty at the front desk, to Sarah RN assisting at appointments, surgery team, the recovery nurse who tolerated my anesthesia induced delayed speech, lol, & Tricia PA who saw me post-op...All are so kind, personable, knowledgeable, & do an exceptional job of making their patients feel welcomed & understood. Have & will continue to recommend Des Moines Plastic Surgery.

Mia Ellis

If you or anyone you know is considering plastic surgery of any kind, or for any reason Dr. Robbins is the best in Iowa. I recently got a breast lift due to weight loss and I am feeling amazing only one week post op. The entire nursing staff was absolutely amazing with answering all my questions during my pre op, consultation, and after surgery. My healing is looking amazing for it only being a month later. Highly highly recommend Dr. Robbins and his team! They gave me my confidence back and the entire process was easy and nothing like I imagined thanks to their great work!

Monica Lindsey

Great people great staff but for laser hair removal it was not successful for me. I dont think they had an effective laser i think it was a light they were using not a proper laser.

christan Vos

It was amazing! Pampering at it's finest!!! Definately going again!!!

marcia

I can’t say enough about this place. The care and attention the nurses, anesthesiologists and doctor gives to their patients is phenomenal! I am so happy I made the right decision to have my cosmetic surgery here. You will not be disappointed if you come to this place. They treat you like family!

Margie Braun

This was a very personal decision to have this surgery done. I am still in the recovery process but wanted to share how amazing my experience has been to this point. All the staff are very kind, compassionate and knowledgeable. They made me feel at ease from the consult all the way through the surgery. I definitely made the right decision choosing them. I will keep posting as my final results show, but so far I have been ecstatic with my whole experience this far!

Heather Watson

My expectations were exceeded!! Dr. Robbins and his staff were kind, courteous, and exhibited expertise throughout my experience. I highly recommend this team of professionals. Thank you for this positive experience.

Crystal Weller

Had a great experience. Everyone there is so kind and just knows how to make you feel welcomed. Will for sure be recommending them.

Christina Amys

I have been a customer of Des Moines Plastic Surgery for 10 years and absolutely love everything about them!! Their staff is friendly, knowledgeable and, in my opinion, the best in town. Their new facility is absolutely amazing and is nothing like Des Moines has ever seen. I always refer my friends to Dr. Robbins and his team…they are truly the best!!

Jenny Veale

Dr Robbins and staff are AMAZING! They walked me through each step and answered all my questions upfront and throughly. I went into surgery day with full confidence I would be taken care of from start to finish. The procedure was seamless- My results exceed all expectations and I love it!!! Thank you Dr Robbins and team!

Autumn Athena

I called to schedule a consultation for breast augmentation and I was told that Dr Robins will not work on transgender patients because their anatomy is "different". I have spoke to several doctors since and all say the anatomy is the same and that they are being discriminatory. If you are transgender please do not bother wasting your time and money on this archaic facility and doctor and go to Dr Lekkas at Iowa Clinic Plastic Surgery. They are the best.

Rachael Revell

I came in for Microneedling-my first cosmetic procedure ever. Tricia was my provider that day, and she did an excellent job answering all of my questions, showing me all the equipment, prepping me, and completing the procedure. She was extremely professional and gentle with her technique. I also really appreciated her anticipatory guidance regarding the post-op phase (things proceeded just as she described). I am just two-week post procedure but I am very pleased with my results so far. I am planning to have some additional appointments with Tricia and DMPS in the near future.

Kaley clark

I'm one week post op. I believe my nurse was Rhea. She guided me through getting my stitches out and tubes. She made sure I was 100%. When I was tearing up from pain she immediately helped me. Dr Robbins checked on me and said I am healing perfectly! Surgery went get the anesthesiologist explained everything to a T and was even humerous. The nurses dealt well with my one year old that was running around all over. They even had a family room which made it much easier for my husband and daughter! Only thing I'd suggest is hearing more from the doctor himself. Other than that ...BEST PLACE EVER! ????????

Current Tenant

I had a breast reduction done here, but there are several different techniques that plastic surgeons use to accomplish the result. I can't say that the technique Dr. Robbins used was the best, as eventually the look is "boxy" rather than "conical," and I have quite a bit of scarring, plus the staff wasn't overly concerned when I came in with "complications." But, overall, if you're looking to save money, this place will get it done. You're just not going to have stellar results.

Dr. Robbins did an excellent job on my surgery and I am very satisfied. Additionally, Jackie is friendly, knowledgeable, and skilled! I would recommend DM plastic surgery and spa to everyone!

Mindy Miller

I had a wonderful experience at Des Moines Plastic Surgery! I felt very comfortable, informed, and welcomed by the entire staff. These feelings started from my first encounter with the receptionist and continued throughout my entire surgical course. The convenience and professionalism of the in-office operating room and staff, along with Dr. Robbins extensive Board Certifications, makes Des Moines Plastic Surgery my first choice for all my cosmetic needs!

Ronin Mantis

Called a dozen times, no answer. Went to web site and tried to schedule an appointment there. Received a reply “to call”. Called again 3 times – no answer. Left voice mail. Received a call back at 5 minutes until 5pm. Asked for ridiculous and irrelevant information such as (zip code). While looking for additional information the time hit 5pm and the lady that called me hung up. Called back… you guessed it – no answer. While the doctor may be top notch in his field. His staff is not.

I had so many lines around my mouth, I felt old and tired looking. Dr. Robbins did laser in this area and the results were amazing, much more than I imagined. I feel like a new person. When people talk to me I don't feel they are looking at my wrinkles, they are looking at me. Thank you staff for being so friendly and helpful and thank you Dr. Robbins for helping me like myself again.

Brenda Shank

Dr. Robbins is an incredibly gifted surgeon. He performed an eyelid lift on me several years ago and it still looks great! He also performed a tummy tuck on a friend of mine and it was FLAWLESS! She was thrilled with the results! I also received liposuction to my hip area and I now have the beautiful hour glass shape I always wanted. I could not be happier. He seems to stay current on the latest techniques and procedures within the industry. His staff was very accommodating and attentive. I just tried their amazing new spa and it is top of the line. I have already arranged for my girlfriends and I to have a complete spa day together!

Stepping into Dr Robbins office, you are greeted by a friendly and helpful gal. In the consultation room, a pleasant nurse talks about your expectations. Dr Robbins is professional with a touch of humor. He is very thorough with pre-op survey prep and after surgery care. The anesthesiologist was another who was great to work with. She showed care in explaining what to expect. The entire staff was very kind and carrying. I could go on and on about how wonderful Dr Robbins and his staff are. The facility is state of the art. I highly recommend Dr Robbins for your needs. Thank you from a happy and satisfied patient!

I came to des moines plastic surgery after a lot of research and looking into qualified doctors. I feel like I was use to seeing or hearing of horror stories of plastic surgery. I can tell you any concerns I had were gone after meeting Dr Robbins. My weight loss journey started at 355 pounds and I got down to about 165 before having my extended tummy tuck on 7-17-20. The surgery went well and Dr Robbins and his team took great care of me. I tend to overthink things and I was always calling with concerns and they were always helpful and understanding. I felt like I made the best decision coming to des moines plastic surgery. Id highly recommend him and his team.

Romy Lincoln

From the moment I made the phone call to inquire about my procedure to my final post op appointment my experience was beyond all expectations. All of my questions were answered, I never waited to be seen-each and every staff member was prompt and displayed such a great bedside manner. I can’t say enough about my experience. Dr Robbins was amazing. He showed so much care. If you are considering any procedure they perform just give them a call. You won’t regret it. I’m so unbelievably happy with my results. Thank you to the entire team for treating me so well.

Kristin Kosmicki

Such a great place with a wonderful atmosphere. My massage was wonderful and the staff was so welcoming and inviting. The locker rooms, salt rooms were fantastic with very relaxing environments. Everything is top notch, and very well maintained and taken care of. Also everything was very clean. This place is definitely top of the line and 5 Star plus . A must visit if your in the DesMoines area.

Pam Wilson

I had been looking closer at my skin and the signs of sun damage and aging. It was time to get some TLC for the face so I called to make an appointment for a facial and consultation. I was lucky enough to get scheduled for a facial and consultation with Jessie Port! She helped me select products that were appropriate for my skin and services that could help reverse some of the damage I had already done. I am amazed at the difference when I go back and look at pictures that were taken before and after. I look forward to the appointments as I feel pampered and relaxed even when some of the procedures are not always soothing! I always leave there looking forward to my next appointment! It feels good to have friends and family say "Your skin looks amazing!" I make sure and tell them exactly where to go and who to see. Thank you Jessie for all you have done! You know I will see you soon!

Melissa Roseland

I absolutely love this place. From my first appointment they made me feel so good, welcomed, and so comfortable with the reasons I was there. Dr. Robbins and his staff are such a wonderful group of professionals. I won’t go anywhere else! Thank you to everyone there for being so wonderful to work with. Dr Robbins, your talent is very much appreciated. Melissa V.

I would recommend Dr. Robbins & his office to anyone that I know. Before my breast augmentation, I was nervous because I wanted to make sure I would be happy with my results. They used an imaging machine & I was basically able to see the changes on my body before the surgery. Though it was just a picture, it was pretty accurate, which was helpful in my decision-making process. Dr. Robbins was very professional & his staff was patient & thorough. My results are exactly what I wanted & I would go back & do it again tomorrow. I am extremely grateful!

Annie Buchmiller

Dr. Robbins is attentive to your questions and concerns. I am pleased that I had my procedure. If I were to need or want another procedure I would come back to se Dr. Robbins. Staff are knowledgeable and kind. Misty at the front desk is very pleasant. Thank you Des Moines Plastic Surgery team!

Karla Guerrero

Very, very happy with results. Doctor, nurse, front desk personnel very professional and very friendly. I will be definitely referring people. Best experience ever!

Chelsey Hutchinson

Dr. Robbins and his whole staff are wonderful and very accommodating! I am so glad I chose him to do my procedure - he is so easy to talk to and makes sure you are 100% satisfied. I drive 2.5 hours just to see him, and would do it over again in a heart beat! Thank you Dr. Robbins & staff!

Angie Wuebker

Dr Robbins and his staff are amazing! From consult to surgery and follow up they made the experience wonderful. My surgery and recovery went perfectly and the results are even better! I highly recommend Des Moines Plastic surgery & Dr Robbins!

Tamica Bisch

The staff/team is professional, down to earth, and genuine.

Mariah Weese

Such a great experience! I had a BA revision/Implant exchange on 10/09/2020. I had a BA done by a different surgeon in 08/2019 and the results were less than desirable. I had tenting and my right muscle was never released so my right breast was higher and more firm than my left. Dr Robbins went in and exchanged my implants with SCF450 and repaired the muscle in my right breast. I am only 11 days post op and feel amazing. They look soooo much better than my first surgery. Two days after my surgery I had to call the on call number to reach Dr Robbins as I had a lot of swelling in my cleavage, Dr Robbins literally called me back in less than 2 minutes and had me in the next day to tape me up to relieve some of the swelling. Dr Robbins is professional and listens to your concerns, his staff is amazing, and the facility is clean and comfortable. I highly recommend!!

Chosen One

I went to this place for Hair Transplant the staff was nice the office also looked neat. The procedure was kinda expensive for most working folks and I didn't see any difference even after waiting more than 2 years. They are not very receptive to truth or constructive criticism abt bad results. I think this place is mainly for cosmetic stuff. A hair Transplant I definitely won't recommend. An average joe will be better off at another hair transplant clinic in terms of cost and results. Doctor lacks the expertise so technicians fly in and do all the transplantation work and the results are always poor and marginal.

Cassie Vogel

Thoroughly impressed. He did a fantastic job on breast augmentation!! The facility is gorgeous and easy to find. His whole staff is amazing. I’ve been recommending him to everyone!

Traci Barker

I had the best experience ever with Des Moines Plastic Surgery. The entire staff is amazing and wonderfully accommodating. I had a breast lift and tummy tuck and my results are above and beyond my expectations. I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a top notch cosmetic surgery experience.

Vickie Larsen

An excellent experience! Every team member is helpful and responsive to questions, etc. Dr. Robbins does excellent work and has the same quality team around him. The Coachlight Spa is top notch, I highly recommend the spa as well.

Dorcas Schekina

I wish I never came across this doctor ???? poor experience

Morgan Sharp

Great environment and friendly staff. Tricia did my facial treatment (microneedling) and I couldn’t be happier with my results!

Melissa Lynn

I had a ruptured left side breast implant. It was horrible. Dr Robbins and his entire staff was amazing from the first appointment to the last. The office is Gorgeous and everyone in that office was so nice to me. They were so understanding. I was really nervous because I waited so long(1.5years) to get the reconstruction. Everything turned out beautifully. I healed really well and the scars are very minimal. I am very happy with the outcome and would recommend everyone to this office. Dr Robbins and his entire staff are INCREDIBLE. Thank you!!

Lorie Melhus

I was recommended to DMPS by my DIL Rhea Melhus! She was very understanding and spent the time I needed before making a decision on which procedures to do. She followed up with me several times afterwards to make sure I was happy with the results! I was very happy!!

Jennifer Schild

Absolutely astounding experience from consultation to post op appointments. It is so nice to be able to have your appointments and surgery in the same facility. The staff is beyond amazing. I never felt like a number. I am so grateful that I chose DM Plastic Surgery and I would HIGHLY recommend them to ANYONE thinking about everything from spa services to plastic surgery! I am more than ecstatic with my results and Dr. Robbins is absolutely, positively the BEST at what he does.

Amritpal Singh

Made my appointment with this place drove 3 hours and an hour from appointment they email me I can't see the doctor. When I call Doctor does not even know what anti estrogen is and he is treating gyno. Has no knowledge of hormones. Good thing I didnt go ahead with. Looks like got his degree online

Ryan Inks

I am thrilled by my experience with Tricia at Des Moines Plastic Surgery! From the beginning consultation, she thoroughly explained my options and her approach to achieving my goals. I left feeling armed with the knowledge and information I needed, and at no point felt pressured to do anything extra or beyond what I had made the consultation for. After returning for my appointment, I was relieved by how painless and comfortable I was, and how professionally the entire process was handled. I had such a fun time speaking and laughing with both Tricia and Misty the day of my appointment! The best part of my experience has been walking by a mirror and smiling at my results, rather than sighing at the imperfections that had been previously bothering me. Instant confidence! I highly recommend anyone considering injectables to speak with Tricia. I know I’ll be returning for life!

Dee B

For the past 8 years, I have been a patient of Dr. David Robbins and a client at their spa. I have always had the best experiences with Dr. Robbins and his staff. Everyone there are very qualified in what their role is and knowledgeable in all aspects of what the office offers. I have had many procedures done from invasive to noninvasive and have always been very pleased with my results. I couldn't recommend them enough! Thank you Dr. Robbins, Des Moines Plastic Surgery and Healthy Skin & Laser Center.

Donna Kuster

I am beyond disappointed with the service I was supposed to receive yesterday. I went in for a BBL treatment yesterday that never happened because apparently my scheduled service conflicted with other services they had scheduled with other patients. I arrived at 2 to receive the numbing treatment for the BBL that was scheduled for 3. The numbing treatment was not applied until 2:20. After it was applied, I then waited until 3 for my scheduled BBL treatment. 3 o'clock came and went. By 3:15 I decided to leave and forget it. I was so irritated that no one bothered to check on me after the numbing cream was applied. The room I was placed in was cold. I actually used the thin cover on the table as a blanket and folded a towel to make a pillow for myself. By the way, this new facility is not a relaxing spa atmosphere. It's very clinical. Everything is grey. There is no warmth. There is no special pampering. No one that asks if you are comfortable. And you are on their time. I made special arrangements to be there on time. I placed my daughter in daycare which may not seem like a big deal to some but the only thing that separates me from my little girl is sleep because I work late night hours. Other than that, she and I are inseparable. So, for them to be running late with my appointment is precious time they took from me that I could've spent with my daughter. After feeling forgotten, I was so ready to leave that I walked out of the facility with the numbing cream still on. I didn't wipe it off until I arrived home. To say the least, it was a less than desirable way to spend the rest of the day. I had been to the Coachlight facility 3 weeks ago for a BBL spot treatment. At that time, I liked Jessica, the esthetician that performed the procedure, but she couldn't remember me when I went yesterday. To her, it was like we were meeting for the first time. Also, 3 weeks ago after the procedure was performed, Jessica and I were finishing up getting ready to walk up to the reception counter when another esthetician barged in our room and was rudely trying to hurry us along. I wish I knew her name. She was mean and said that Dr Robbins needed the BBL machine. She stood there oblivious to her own bad behavior and offered no privacy or patience for us to finish up. As we were walking to the reception counter, Jessica even remarked I guess that whatever Dr Robbins wants Dr Robbins gets even if it's an imposition on other patients receiving services. I have to say that I was pleased with the actual BBL treatment and the results which is why I scheduled again for yesterday with Jessica though she couldn't remember me. Another disappointing factor (other than wasted time away from my daughter) was that I saved my money up to get this treatment done. I was so excited about it. I even saved to buy some Skin Medica products. I went in with cash ready to pay and then got treated like I didn't even matter. I worked hard to be there yesterday. I wanted to matter. On the positive side, when I got home I started calling around and found places that offer BBL treatments cheaper than DM Plastic Surgery. Urban Effects in WDM offeres the same treatment for the entire face $50 cheaper than DM Plastic Surgery. Also, you can get IPL treatment done on the entire face right now at The Spa at West Glen for $99. That's approx $150 in savings when you compare DM Plastic Surgery's price for the BBL. I've had the IPL and was very impressed with the incredible results. I do like Jackie at DM Plastic Surgery. She's wonderful with botox injections. However, I called around and did comparative price checks on those treatments as well. There are many places that will charge $10 a unit. Something to keep in mind. I would be willing to change my review if DM Plastic Surgery contacts me with a willingness to make this right. I am a positive person and do believe that bad customers service can be rectified if the business is truly eager to make their customers happy.

Emily Bakker

Love the nurses, staff and Doctor Robbins. I am so pleased and just couldn’t say enough good things about my experience. So happy!

Mike Limani

They charge50$ if you want to switch your apartment ...!!
