Ryan Goeke is an occupational therapist who earned his Masters of Science degree from The University of Minnesota – Twin Cities. His specific interests include strokes, multiple sclerosis, Parkinson’s, traumatic brain injuries (TBI), concussions, dementia, and upper extremity injuries.
Ryan has always been drawn to working with patients suffering from neurological disorders. He says, “My goal for neurological rehab is to help people return to the highest level of function and independence possible.” In turn, his assistance improves a person’s overall quality of life—physically, emotionally, and socially.
MCN’s collaborative, team-approach business model is what brought Ryan to our clinic. He can practice exceptional, personalized neurological rehabilitation in an environment that promotes direct partnership with our outstanding neurologists.
Ryan’s personal recommendation for good overall health is to stay active physically, socially, and cognitively. You’ll find him covering his bases by spending time with his family, taking summer trips to the cabin, woodworking, and golfing. He doesn’t let the fact that he has one crooked thumb get in his way!
I’m very glad Dr. Veen was easy to talk to, seemed very in tuned with what I was saying (an active listener), and didn’t bowl me over with why I was wrong or why she knew so much more (which she does) than me. She let me share my anxiety and then set about describing how “we” were going to tackle diagnosing and treating whatever we found. That was encouraging to me even though some of the discussion was very much anxiety generating. Dr. Veen answered all of our questions and was so comfortable talking to her. She really listened to what we had to say. This was my first time doing a telemedicine appointment and it was very easy and the doctor was as complete as could be without physical interaction. Because of Covid, we had to make appt for a phone visit. We were a little skeptical of this but everything went good. All questions were addressed and a follow up was discussed. Dr. Veen as always gets an A+. I was particularly impressed that the providers came to the waiting room for their patients and escorted them to their offices. Dr Veen gets max points for listening to everything I had to say, seeking my input and developing a mutual plan for next steps. Kudos! Dr. Veen is excellent. I do recommender her to friends!!
