Given today's healthcare environment, visit felt more "business like" rather than "personal".

This was my first visit with this provider, to judge him fairly, I'd really would like to be in his care more than once.

Dr Erickson easily blends the personal and professional. I felt heard and seen. He explained my X-ray results and outlined treatment options clearly and concisely. At no time did I feel rushed.

I've had many injections into many joints, and other places in my body. Dr Erickson is without a doubt the very best doctor for this,I've ever had. While keeping me appraised of what he was doing, I barely felt the shots. I'm so very impressed with his skill and overall ability.
