He was so patient with me, very observant and My new Hand Dr!!!
Excellent experience I felt heard not rushed and respected. Great bedside manner. I will continue my care with him.
Very clear and easy to understand on my condition and the treatment needed.
A
Clearly defined the three issues I was having and options available for treatment. I appreciated that he was conservative in his treatment recommendations and suggested therapy first.
Took the time to explain my diagnosis along with treatment options. Good bedside manner in a day where rushed drive-thru service is the norm. Good experience.
Was very informative on what was happening to my hand and very professional?
Very helpful and easy to talk to
Dr. Erickson is equally as kind as he is effective. He turned an otherwise unpleasant experience into a positive one, and I couldn’t recommend him more highly.
Like him very much! Very personable and kind.
