Dr. Erickson is advanced fellowship trained specializing in shoulder, shoulder replacement, arthroscopy, cartilage, and sports medicine.

The approach I take to care is straightforward and simple: I start by being an incredible listener and then rely on my advanced training and expertise to help educate patients on all of their treatment options for a specific diagnosis. A more educated patient leads to better outcomes and an exceptional patient experience.

I believe in this personalized care and deliver the same care I would expect for my own friends and family. As a specialized orthopedic surgeon I am blessed to meet many wonderful people, all with unique stories to share. Every day I feel humbled, and filled with sincere gratitude, to have the opportunity to meet and care for all of these individuals.

As the title says, I had an acute work injury and was referred to him. Took three weeks to get in bc apparently all the good surgeons left theda. He did surgery. Four months out I have permanent numbness in my left shoulder and arm, that a neurologist said is likely permanent after multiple tests. I’m 52 and may be unable to operate heavy machinery at work ever again. Avoid theda. I got betta care at Ascension after surgery.

I recently had my ACL reconstructed by Dr. Erickson and the surgery went excellent. He isn't the type of doctor that wants to hold your hand through the process. He is confident and wants to get in and fix you with no delay.

Dr Erickson did one of 2 preliminary evals of my shoulder, I thought at first he quite cocky but so am I. Turns out that I had 2 ruptures and 1 torn tendon. His technique was wamterful and instead of the 6 months of recovery that was predicted, I was playing full tennis in 2 months and 2 weeks and 2 years later have not even had a twing out of my shoulder, I hope he can do as well with my knee.
