Staff courteous, Dr Erickson is very informative, explains well, and gives several options for treatment. Explains why he thinks a certain procedure is best and why.
Dr Erickson and his team are a delight. I feel heard and seen at each appointment. Thanks for the care you provide to me.
Dr. Erickson is very appropriately direct. He explains things clearly and when possible tells you your choices. I have decided to live with my condition.
Excellent very knowledgeable about wat he do.
Very Friendly Dr. Love his personality and how he interacted with my Father today. Awesome Dr!
Got shots for 2 trigger fingers. Hopefully this will calm them down for months, so that I can postpone surgery. Dr. Erickson is always pleasant to work with and my fingers already feel better Thank you, Dr. Erickson!
I keep coming back because he is really terrific. I have seen him several times. It is always a pleasure.
Caring physician
Great communication skills!
Great explanation of what was happening to my thumb. Painless injection and written instructions for home care.
