Erica worked in the rural setting for 8 years prior to joining Prairie Orthopaedic & Plastic Surgery. There she treated a wide variety of clientele including out-patient orthopaedics, in-patient acute care, nursing home, and home health patients. However, her primary emphasize and the majority of her caseload was always out-patient orthopaedic patients.
In 2006 Erica joined the Prairie family to allow her to follow her interests of pursuing full time orthopaedic physical therapy with an emphasize in upper extremity rehabilitation. To that end, she has completed several advanced orthopaedic courses focusing on difficult shoulder and hand problems. Erica works closely with our physicians to ensure that each patient is treated with a custom approach designed for their type of surgery or injury. All treatments are tailored to the individual's unique needs while taking into consideration their pain, work requirements, and home environment.
In 2010, Erica earned the designation of Board Certified Orthopaedic Specialist. In addition, in 2016 she became Board Certified in Hand Therapy as well. These advanced certifications are a testament to the level of knowledge patients should expect from the Prairie staff.
Erica currently resides in Springfield, Nebraska with her husband and two boys. In her free time Erica enjoys gardening, genealogy, and watching her children's sports activities.
So good at her job!
Went above making sure I knew what she was doing, how she was going to do it, reasons why her or I needed to do something, as well as details on where I was at with recovery what I should and shouldn’t do. Feels like she likes her work and just not there for a check!
Always nice, supportive, and positive in interactions and explaining the exercises to do.
She does with the patient needs to heal and not just "going by the book".
Very kind. Excellent in explaining things. Well prepared ahead of time by studying my case. Knows her profession very well.
Very knowledgeable and helpful
