Sep 2024Dr. Goecker and his staff are very professional, kind and informed.

Sep 2024I have already referred Dr Goecker and his team to 2 patients. He and his team represent what sadly is absent on todays Healthcare. He listened, was humorous yet professional which helps calm a patient. He explained options and used the diagnostic tools needed to be certain his recommendations were appropriate. We traveled 4 hours one way based on past experience with Dr. Goecker and have recommended him to 2 other patients. Thank you

Verified patient
Jun 2024This was my first time meeting Dr. G after being referred to him for possible surgery by another dr in the practice. He took a great deal of time explaining all the possible procedures he would recommend for my consideration and asked me to to call him after I gave it some thought. There was no pressure but he did describe what might happen if I declined any surgery at all. He was very open and patient to answering any questions I had. The idea of surgery is never a pleasant thought but I feel pretty comfortable with Dr. G.

Verified patient
Nov 2023It is always a joy to check in/out with the front desk staff. Always in a chearfull welcoming mood, never feel like you are being rushed through or just a number. I am an Engineer and Maint manager. It is hard for me to fully trust what anyone is saying without me asking 100 questions and keeping my guard up. Not with DR Goecker. We have engaged in enough conversations and by watching him work his skill set is obvious and well respected. From someone that has to manage every aspect of projects, repairs and groups of technician's, it feels good to be able to “let go of the wheel” and let him come up with the solution and game plan. I’m glad I stepped out of my normal network and followed the recommendation to come here
Verified patient
Nov 2023My experience at Mothershed Foot and Ankle was wonderful. Dr. Goecker explained my foot condition to me and the causes for it as well as my options for treatment and what to expect going forward. My foot was in pain when I arrived, and I was pain free when I left the Mothershed office.
