Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Impressive practice - highly recommend
From calling to schedule an appointment (able to get one on the next day) to being checked in, this practice has a smooth process for new patients. Once checked in, there wasn’t a long wait to be seen by the doctor. Dr. Erickson was on time, personable, and his demeanor immediately put me at ease. He listened to my issues, asked great questions, answered all of my questions and later gave options for treatment. The support staff are great and enhanced my experience- even the appointment reminders are helpful.P.S. The initial in-office treatment for one part of my issues is already making a difference. So glad I made that appointment with them!

THE hand & shoulder specialists
Dealing with multiple hand & shoulder issues for the last couple of months, with no result from other specialists. As a last resort, I figured I’d give Dr Erickson a chance since I’d seen him earlier this year for a different issue. Staff was great, nurses were great and Dr Erickson was the best! Highly recommend this practice to anyone dealing with hand to shoulder issues!

This was my second time in for treatment and I would not think of going anywhere else. Staff is extremely friendly. Doctor Erickson projects knowledge and confidence regarding my treatment which in turn reassures me that I will be okay. I wish I could have been referred to him years ago.
