James T Rosenbaum ,MD – Casey Eye Institute-Ohsu

My 12 year old Daughter could have died because of Casey Eye. ⁸⁄₂₄ her eye Dr found issue & sent them a referral they never called. ⁸⁄₂₈ Dr sent 2^nd referral they still never called. ⁹⁄₂ she was referred to different clinic. ⁹⁄₄ she was seen & sent to ER for MRI & spinal tap. The next morning she had emergency brain surgery. I called office manager Jennifer N she told me I should worry about kid’s health not who dropped ball. That is the most disrespectful thing to say to a Mom in this situation. I asked her to have her boss Diane call me she didn’t. I called & left message for Diane she still hasn’t called. Kelly a patient advocate contacted me. She didn’t have her facts right. She said it takes weeks to schedule new patient appointment this is unacceptable. I made comment about coming up there she said I have no business there. I asked her to have boss call me she didn’t. I called & left message for boss & still no call. I tried to contact through Facebook, my comments were deleted & I’m blocked from leaving more. I will never go to any OHSU facility. I’d still be waiting for an appointment & my Daughter could be dead.

Almost 20 years ago, I woke up with my eye swollen like I’d been punched by a prizefighter, nonstop tears flowing out, and pain like I had never known in my life. Working at OHSU at the time, I headed on up to the ER. After looking at all the options, it was decided that I had an eye inflammation, and I was sent to visit Dr. Rosenbaum over at Casey Eye Institute, and that referral saved my vision.
After visiting with Dr. Rosenbaum and receiving treatment for the inflammation that nearly scarred by pupil shut for several months, I also found out that the eye inflammation was the telltale sign of a form of arthritis called ankylosing spondylitis and that it had been passed down through my family through several generations.
All is well today. My vision is spot on, thankfully, and I’ve learned to deal with my form of arthritis. I was extremely lucky to be able to have Dr. Rosenbaum as my physician at the time. Besides being a true expert in the field, he’s also got a fine sense of humor and quiet reassuring manner. I recommend him wholeheartedly.
