Ryan Kirkhus Bergeson Md's Online Review Report Card

I am so so so thankful for Dr. Ryan Bergeson and his PA, Josh Covington. Dr. Bergeson is not only an EXCELLENT surgeon, he and Josh Covington are smart, professional, diligent and caring. Dr. Bergeson performed a c4-c7 fusion on my spine in May 2022 due to a c7 compressed nerve and spinal stenosis. I am happy to say I am pain free and am back to doing the things that bring me great joy! Thank you Dr. Bergeson and PA Covington for everything you do!

I am very pleased with each visit I have made with Dr. Bergeson. He and his staff are highly qualified, knowledgeable and courteous. He takes the time to listen, answer my questions and address any concerns I may have. The surgeries he has performed have given me not only relief from pain but a new lease on life so that I can now enjoy the activities I enjoy.

His work is very important and professional to Him and takes care of his business as a person.

I needed to have surgery on my back. I was in a lot of pain. I went to see Dr. Bergeson for a surgeryconsultation.He looked at my Bone density report. He told me to come back when I get my 80 yr.old bones fixed and lose 30 lbs.. I cried on the way home. THE TRUTH HURTS! I got a 2nd opinion. The dr. I saw said he could put me on his surgery schedule for surgery the next week. I prayed that night for guidance. God led me to Dr. Bergeson. I lost over 30 lbs and I had been taking Forteo shots everyday for 8 months to strengthen my bones. Dr. Bergeson is a VERY thorough surgeon. He already had my MRI & Bone density report. He ordered CT-Scan,Mylegram & several other tests. After 10 months I was ready for surgery. Dr. Bergeson did 3 fusions and reconnected a ball of nerves that were round up in a ball. He connected the nerves back where they were suppose to be. I am aNEW WOMAN! I feel GREAT!!! I thank God everyday for leading me to Dr. Bergeson! Dr. Bergeson explained what the surgery involved & is Very thorough! He is theBEST back & spine surgeon!!! Thank you again Dr. Bergeson for telling me the truth opening my eyes after the very first visit. Thank you for giving me my life back!!!

Front office VERY HELPFUL & EFFICIENT! Dr. Bergeson was great and a good communicator and his brace supplier was excellent and helped us out even on Sunday!

Dr. Bergeson is the BEST Spine/back surgeon EVER! The first time I saw Dr. Bergeson he told me to come back when I fixed my 80 yr. old bones and I lost 30 lbs. I cried all the way home. I decided to seek a 2nd opinion. The dr. I saw wanted to put me on his surgery schedule the next few weeks. I went home and thought about what I was going to do. The truth can really hurt!!!! I payed that night for guidance. I lost over 30 lbs. and had been on Forteo injections for8 months. IDr. Bergeson is VERY thorough. He had me do several different tests (Mylegram, CT-Scan and other X-Rays before surgery. Dr. Bergeson did 3 fusions L2-L5. He also found a ball of nerves that he put back where they belonged. After surgery I am a new woman. I am no longer in pain. I can’t thank Dr. Bergeson enough for giving me back my life. I thank God everyday for guiding me to Dr. Bergeson. Thank you again Dr. Bergeson you opened my eyes and gave me back my life!! Dr. Bergeson you are the Best!!!??

Dr Bergeson was rude and did not listen to my answers to his questions. He kept interrupting and changing the topic before i could fully explain. He also is the only out 6 different care givers who thinks my pain is unrelated to my neck disc bulge. Since he did not listen, i do not trust his judgment. When i questioned him about being the only one who thought it was unrelated, he was defensive and the subject changed to my weight. He went so far as to say he could refer me for a gastric bypass. I only went for a consultation because my pain management doctor thought i should know my options. All Dr bergeson needed to say was that operating was not going to be helpful. At this point, i feel that if you are a female who has developed weight issues due to your injury.... do not see this man. No bedside manner at all. I left feeling so hopeless and embarrassed and ashamed. All i went there for was to know my options....

Dr. Bergeson was polite, professional, actively listened to me, provided thorough examination of my medical issue, explained results of X-rays and MRI, and prescribed procedure, Physical Therapy, and at home care. Overall, totally impressed with his knowledge and comprehensiveness. I felt encouraged and hopeful that I will get better. The members of his staff were efficient, kind, and understanding.

Everyone in office very professional and took great deal of time with all of our questions.

Excellent care, service, medical skills, and friendly helpful staff. Makes you feel like you & your concerns are important. A++
