Dr Ericksen was very friendly and so was his staff. He was easy to talk to and seemed to care about my problems with my back. I recommend him highly.

Dr Erickson is very good at explaining how. he will be preforming the surgery. He is very reassuring concerning my well being after the surgery. I’m very ready for it now. Connie Holt

Dr Ericksen is an excellent surgeon with a great team. I had my back fused and everything went great. I trust what he says. He explains the procedure thoroughly. I'm going back to him again for my neck.

I am post surgery 2 months and 5 days. I needed a second spinal fusion on my neck at C-4 & C-5. I chose Dr. Ericksen to give me a second opinion before I chose him as my surgeon to perform this operation. I had some pain after surgery but was gone after 10 days and everything was back to normal after 14 days post surgery.

I didn’t see Dr. Erickson today. After a two hour wait time I saw only the PA, who did not exam me. He asked me a few questions, briefly looked at my X-rays and it was decided I needed further testing.
