Very pleased. Listened to my concerns and is very caring and thoughtful! I recommend Dr. Goergen to anyone.

05/28/2024

I have one prescription written by this office. I can never get in to see him for months on end. And yet won't refill prescriptions. I'm beyond frustrated at the difficulty with the doctors office and pharmacy. They are supposed to be your primary physician, but what good are they if it takes months to get in to see them. You're either healthy or it's too late by then!

05/21/2024

Dr. Goergen is the best PC doctor I have ever had. Whenever I have an issue he takes the time to understand my needs, answer any questions I have, and talks through how he would like to approach potential treatment. But he also doesn't try to force feed medication that will just mask the issue nor talk down to his patients like it's "my way or the highway". He actually listens. I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for someone who they feel like will be a guide and a partner in their healthcare journey rather than feeling like just another number in an already overcrowded system.

05/01/2024

I had constipation for a week. Dr. Jason Goergen saw me the day I called. He smiled and said something like "I think this will help you." I had tried a number of over the counter "cures" all week long with no results but I was hopefuls with his comment. After second dose, second morning I had relief by11 AM. He knew the right stuff!

04/18/2024

Dr Goergen is fabulous!! I had not seen him in 2 years because my insurance changed, so I specifically searched out insurance that would include him. He is so real, patient and you just feel like he really cares!! Hopefully I never have to change again. 😊

04/05/2024

Great doctor takes time with patients.

03/14/2024

Great Experience as always. Caring and kind person who has a genuine concern for His patients.

02/20/2024

Excellent

02/07/2024

I would and do recommend Dr. Goergen to everyone. He listens well, takes his time, and lets you have a say in your treatment.

01/20/2024

Very nice Doctor. Efficient & helpful.

01/19/2024

Dr. Goergen and PA student Cooper were exceptional caregivers. Cooper helped me first and I was impressed with his professionalism and bedside manner. He was a good listener and followed through with conveying my needs to Dr. Goergen. Dr. Goergen was thoughtful and kind. He listened and questioned with a gentle manner. He provided me with a path to get some answers for my issue. Thank you for displaying a great bedside manner and providing outstanding patient care.

01/05/2024

His exams and analysis are always complete. I won't go to anyone else.

12/27/2023

Felt like he genuinely cares and listens with an open mind.

10/23/2023

Excellent.

10/09/2023

I’ve been seeing Dr Goergen for a few years now and always appreciate his effort to understand and get to know his patients to make the best decision for them. Recently, I took my son in to see him for a check up and to discuss a possible ADHD diagnosis at the encouragement of my sons school. It would be easy for Doc to throw a med at my son but instead chooses to get to know him and get a treatment plan best for us. I have been hesitant to take him for any ADD/ADHD related instance because I always worried they would just see him as another check in the box of prescribing something that can have crazy side effects. I don’t think we will see another doctor unless we are referred by Dr Goergen because I trust and respect him for all of these reasons above. Thank you Dr!

10/06/2023

So often Dr's do not take time to just visit with their patients. Dr Goergen is not one of those Dr's. He takes time to get to know me better each time I visit him. He also opens up about some of his own life as well. I started and ran a medical/Counseling clinic in Pennsylvania. He treats me with great respect. He also is truly on his game in his profession. I always know he will give me his very best treatment. I recommend him to every one looking for a very competent physician. I am 75 years old. He by far is the best primary care Doc I have ever had. A truly great Physician.

10/05/2023

My visit with Dr Goergen was great. He took time and was so informative. And pleasant. I would definitely recommend Dr Goergen.

10/05/2023

Dr. Goergen has been my Dr. for several years. He has always been very thorough and comprehensive disseminating medical information as it applies to your situation in a personal manner.

10/04/2023

Took both of my kids in for wellness visits and he was absolutely amazing with them, great doctor!

09/01/2023

I really enjoy doctor visits now! Dr. Goergen takes the time to listen and has worked with me to address issues that could be complicated. I highly recommend him!

09/01/2023

Been going to DR.G . For more than a decade…he is awesome ..his nurses are great with making u feel comfortable .get a feeling of love and care….thanks DR.GOERGEN AND STAFF …

08/19/2023

He was quite full of information. I had zero problems with him. I would now suggest him. Sorry I’m watching the KansasCity Chiefs game right now, so I best stop. A good doctor. Thank You 🙏

08/15/2023

Dr Goergen makes his patients totally comfortable when seeing him. He listens and is very detailed in his explanation of the situation. He has found issues with me that I would have never found myself until it would have been too late! Thank you, Dr. Goergen!

08/11/2023

Dr. Goergen has been my physician for several years...he's always been candid and if there were ever any questions he always responded to the few phone messages I left for him.

08/09/2023

I always feel that Dr. Goergen listens to any/all concerns I bring into the office. He always includes me in any plans moving forward and if he is unsure on any final treatment, he is one who does further testing, x-rays, scans, bloodwork, etc.which may rule out other things that may be unknown or otherwise presented. I always appreciate his thoroughness and professionalism.

08/02/2023

I am in the medical field, often VERY disappointed by the way we through put patients as "customers " and have lost the personal touch. Dr.Goergen addressed my concerns, swiftly and with as much passion as I had. Reassuring me. Katie S. Was a catalyst for the appointment. Kudos to her!! Dr's should take note of HOW to treat people as patients once again. Kathleen

07/14/2023

He is amazing!!

07/12/2023

Doctor and staff were extremely helpful. It was easy to get a same day appt.

06/22/2023

His nurse, Kati, is an unhelpful barrier to communicating with Dr. Goergen. She relays incomplete information and can be very short with you. Getting anything accomplished here is like wading through mud. Once you see the doctor, he is very knowledgeable, informative, and answers all your questions - if you can get past Kati to have a follow up conversation.

06/08/2023

Doctor is great. Very knowledgeable and has a wonderful demeanor with patients.

05/02/2023

Everyone is very helpful. Dr Goergen is genuinely concerned about his patients.

04/22/2023

Dr. Goergen is very thorough in explaining things and is never in a rush to finish the visit. He is very personable. I'm glad he's my doc.

04/21/2023

Categorically great every time I visit his office. I have been very satisfied with Dr. Goergen's care, and I both recommend him and plan to keep him as my primary care physician for the foreseeable future.

04/17/2023

First visit as transitioning from another Meritas office as this location is closer to home. Appointment went as planned and he took the time to ask questions & get to know my history as I wasn’t rushed through appt. Seemed appropriately thorough on lab work for physical.

01/30/2023

Always thorough and good communicator.

01/08/2023

I have been seeing Dr. Goergen since my previous doctor had retired. I have been impressed with his professionalism. I am a Medicare patient, but I'm not treated as an old timer complaining about everything. He has taken my visits seriously and has treated me accordingly. When I have asked a question concerning my visit, he has given me satisfactory answers. I have always been pleased with the care I have received from the staff at this particular Meritas facility.

01/06/2023

My needs were addressed.

I'm a new patient with Dr. Goergen, and I was blown away. He took time to talk to me about my concerns, and it didn't feel rushed. My lab results were talked over with me (things are looking good, by the way), and I felt valued. This office was truly a different experience for me, and 100 percent positive.

11/15/2022

Dr. Goergen has been our Primary Care Provider for over two years now. He is a very good listener and waits for all our questions to be answered. We appreciate his friendly attitude and understanding of our concerns.

04/06/2020

I appreciate how Dr Goergen listens to your concerns without rushing you out the door. He's truly cares about his patients and takes the time to make sure my family and I stay healthy. I've never waited more than 5-10 min for him to come into the room versus 1 to 2 hours at my old Dr office. He's on top of his game. Thanks Dr.G!

10/01/2019

Dr. Goergen is the absolute best. I couldn't ask for a better primary care physician. He doesn't rush. He takes his time to understand, he responds, he is very caring, and has a wonderful demeanor. I am blessed to have him as my doctor.

05/01/2019

Excellent doctor and staff

01/04/2019

Awesome!

12/08/2018

Always knowledgeable, helpful and friendly.!

11/17/2018

Dr. Goergen is the most exceptional physician I have ever been treated by and truly personifies The Hippocratic Oath, unlike many other doctors I've seen over the years. Additionally, his staff is caring, kind, efficient, and attentive. I have never waited longer than 10 minutes from my scheduled appointment time to see him, and unlike many other doctors over the years, he never kept me waiting for needlessly long periods of time once I was in the examination room. Sadly, I moved over 1,000 mil
