I had a chronic migrain headache and seen by neurologist without help. DrErickson gave me BOTOX injections and now I'm pain free, I have my life back again. My husband sees him as well. His bedside manner is excellent and he always checks to make sure we don't have anymore questions before leaving the room.

After trying so many different doctors eventually i have found the one. He takes his time to listen so carefully, he didn't leave the room until I finish all my questions. Excellent experience, now on he is my doctor forever.

I brought my 76 year old dad in that has just had an ankle replacement because we are required to have a primary care doctor for insurance reasons. So we arrived about 15 minutes early and we sat in that waiting room while people that were already in there were being seen and the people that came in afternoon us were continuously being seen while we sat there. We eventually had to leave because my dad had another doctors appointment. I am a working son who takes care of his dad and had to take the day off to go to the doctor. Now I will have to take off more time to see another primary care doctor but I assure that it will not be in this group of doctors.

He won’t help me get my medication even though I paid to see him. His staff is disrespectful and hang up on me every single time. I would never go to him again

He is a very nice and caring doctor. He will listen to all your complaints and offer a reasonable solution. He doesn't push on unnecessary medicine. Highly recommend to anyone!
