Very personable and knowledgeable. Would recommend!
I had a great first appointment with Dr.Ericson, he is truly a wonderful doctor. He really listens, and takes the time to explain everything clearly. The procedure was done with so much care. I felt completely comfortable the whole time. I’d definitely recommend him to others
Liked his approach to a new hand problem. Will proceed with therapeutic recommendations before considering surgery.
