My Rheumatologist wanted me to see an eye disease specialist and a scheduler called me in Tennessee to schedule my appointment. When I arrived for my appointment, the very nice lady at desk 2A informed me that my appointment was with an Optometrist. I literally broke down crying. I had traveled 500 miles to see an eye disease specialist. She said she would do her best to assist me in correcting the problem. She arranged for me to see Dr. Goshe and he so graciously added me to his schedule. Although I thanked and even hugged the lady, I wish I had gotten her name so I could have sent her a huge thank you. Dr Gosh was professional, caring, and listened to the problems with my eyes ive had for the last 1.5 years. He performed a procedure and I have received much relief, however, he informed me it could be only temporary. I am so thankful for the visit even though the initial registeration was not what was I expected.

I cannot say enough great things about Dr. Goshe. For being such a well-respected doctor, I expected him to be a little less "human" per say. When I found out about the corneal issues, it was quite clear everywhere I read that he is who you want to see. Even with the University of Michigan 30 minutes from my home, I decided to make the drive to Cleveland Clinic to consult with Dr. Goshe about next steps. He was the most caring, down to earth doctor I think I have ever worked with. I am personally the President of a national health care organization, and just cannot say enough how much I appreciated this. He is truly one of a kind, both in his knowledge/expertise, and kindness.
