Goosey John D, MD

Referred to Dr Goosey for a cornea transplant. Was impressed on the first visit. Has been a phenomenal help with all my problems. He is VERY busy due to so many using his services!
He recommended U of H for special scleral lenses for my carotachonis (SP?). Another group headed by Dr Bergmanson! Fantastic people!
Recently had a corneal transplant by Dr Goosey. Got an infection in my arm and it traveled to my eye. Woke up 2:00am Sunday with a severely hurting eye. Look like someone hit me with a bat and the pain was terrible and my eye looked like raw meet!
They told me to get in right away. Dr Goosey had me see several doctors and they were concerned! I thought initially the cornea was being rejected. It wasn’t! Then to Dr Harris. She told me they thought the infection is being spread through my blood and she told me they have lost patients from infections like this!
Bad news is I had to have 5 injections in my eye. The first one is horrible! I don’t have the words to describe the pain. The other 4 you never felt.
Got through and they wanted to get me admitted directly to the hospital in the Medical Center in Houston. I live SW of Houston and said I would check into Herman Memorial in Sugarland.
Went there and they took a ton of blood samples, and started working on my arm. A huge hypodermic with saline and lidocaine, and WOOOW, it hurt. Cleaned out the wound and dressed it, and 10:30 at night they let me out to my surprise. Dr Harris called to check on me the next day and was surprised I was out working and asked if I could come in, both Goosey and Harris were concerned!
To make a long story short, no rejection and the infection was the cause and I swear by Dr Goosey and Dr Harris! Fantastic people!

I went over there this morning for a 10:30 am appointment. I arrived at 10:13 am, filled out paperwork on the 2^nd floor, then I was sent to the 3^rd floor where I had to sign some more papers. At that time I was told that while the initial consultation was no charge, dilating my eyes would be $ 200…right…So I went ahead and stayed to observe if I really wanted to see this doctor. I waited in a roomful of people waiting like some sort of cattle call where all the chairs were occupied and some people were standing. There was a couple next to me where the wife had already been seen, but the husband had not been seen after more than an hour, even though both had arrived at the same time. When the husband asked why, I heard the receptionist say, «we have a system.» During the 30 minutes I waited in this roomful of people, I only heard two names called out. Looking at how many people were ahead of me was enough to realize I would be wasting my time for a doctor who is obviously overbooking. Yes he came with a good recommendation, but if he keeps overbooking like that, he will lose that reputation.

Great results from the corrective surgery, but follow up care left a lot to be desired. Because we were 11 days after the annual window were refused the annual follow up visit included with the procedure. I live overseas so returning was not easy. We would have appreciated some courtesy but got none. After the price we paid I do not believe the request was unreasonable. Bottom line, great surgery, but once you have paid… there was no real concern for follow up care.
