Owner & CEO
Dr. Aston Goldsworthy, DC, MSN, FNP-BC, CMLE, CIR, NRCME, is the founder, owner and CEO of Core Medical Center, the integrated, physician-led clinic he built in Blue Springs to serve injured workers and patients in pain across the Greater Kansas City metro. He holds doctor of chiropractic and family nurse practitioner credentials, which lets him evaluate an injury from both a musculoskeletal and a whole-patient medical perspective in a single visit.
In short: Dr. Goldsworthy is the owner and CEO of Core Medical Center, a multidisciplinary occupational medicine, rehabilitation and medical organization. His clinical training spans chiropractic, nursing and family practice, which lets him evaluate complex injuries from both a structural and a medical perspective.
Focus Areas
Dr. Goldsworthy built Core Medical Center around the problems he saw injured patients struggle with most: fragmented care, slow documentation and the gap between a diagnosis and an actual return to work. His clinical focus reflects that.
- Occupational and federal injury medicine. He directs care for federal injured workers and serves as a Certified Medical Examiner (NRCME), bringing the dual chiropractic and nurse practitioner view to complex, well-documented cases.
- Chiropractic evaluation and spinal care. As a doctor of chiropractic, he assesses neck, back and joint complaints and connects each finding to the right hands-on and medical treatment.
- Documentation that holds up. Because federal and injury claims live or die on objective reporting, he places heavy emphasis on clear, defensible medical narratives and impairment findings. As a Certified Impairment Rater (CIR) and Certified Medical-Legal Evaluator (CMLE), he leads the clinic’s IME and impairment-rating service line.
Conditions he and the team commonly evaluate include herniated disc, neuropathy and post-concussion syndrome, along with the back, neck and repetitive-strain injuries that bring most federal and work-injured patients through the door.
Approach To Patient Care
Dr. Goldsworthy practices the way he wishes every injured patient could be treated: one team, one building, one plan. Rather than send patients across town for therapy, imaging coordination and follow-up, he keeps care connected so the diagnosis, the treatment and the paperwork stay aligned from the first visit forward.
He leads a genuinely integrated team. Chiropractic colleague Dr. Patrick Goldsworthy and board-certified pain physician Dr. Paul Doskey round out a medical, chiropractic, physical therapy and rehabilitation group that shares one building in Blue Springs. That structure is the whole point of Core Medical Center, and it is what shortens the distance between an injury and a documented recovery.
His style is direct and practical. Patients get a clear explanation of what is wrong, what the plan is and what to expect, without jargon and without being passed from office to office.
Services He Leads
Dr. Goldsworthy is most closely involved with the clinic’s occupational, federal and chiropractic lines of care:
- OWCP Doctor, physician-directed evaluation, treatment and Department of Labor documentation for federal injured workers
- Federal Workers’ Compensation care under the OWCP and FECA framework
- Chiropractic Care for neck, back and joint complaints
- IME and Independent Medical Exam with impairment-rating support
He sees patients at the Blue Springs flagship, minutes from Saint Luke’s East Hospital and Centerpoint Medical Center, and the clinic also serves the Kansas side from its Overland Park location.
New patients are welcome, and same-week appointments are typically available. If you are a federal or injured worker who needs care and documentation that actually fit together, you can book a visit with Dr. Goldsworthy and the Core Medical Center team today.
