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.
