I saw his PA and thought that he did an excellent job informing me about my knee situation. As I had been to two different doctors regarding my knee pain he wants to have an MRI done to finally see why I am having off and on pain. I am waiting for the Tracy hospital to get back to me with a date and time.

Have worked with Erik before. He is a straight shooter who does a great job of explaining everything that is taking place. If I didn't feel safe and well taken care of, I wouldn't have come back. I am grateful for his work and care.
