About

Maksym Puliaiev, MD, specializes in pulmonary care at MercyOne Des Moines Pulmonary & Critical Care.

I grew up in the Ukraine and went to medical school at O.O. Bohomolets National Medical University in Kyiv, Ukraine, the capital city. After graduating from medical school, I came to the United States and pursued research in Immunology, later starting my residency in Internal Medicine at the Sinai Hospital of Baltimore. During my residency, I also served as Chief Resident. Afterwards, I moved to the Midwest to complete my fellowship in Pulmonary and Critical Care Medicine at the University of Iowa.

I loved Iowa so much that I decided to stay here and now have a career at MercyOne! In my spare time I enjoy cycling, being outdoors, and spending time with my significant other and our two dogs.

I am impressed by the complexity of care that we at MercyOne can provide patients. I am excited by the opportunities ahead of me to expand my skills and grow as a physician. There is a sense of community at MercyOne, and I absolutely enjoy working with the other members of the critical care team!

He and his staff are absolutely amazing

He is very qualified to deal with my diagnosis of bronchiectasis which has greatly improved over the last few months. He listens very intently to what I have to say, asks pertinent questions, and has recommendations about future care. He explains everything well. He is very kind! I think he is the best Dr. I have ever been treated by!
