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.

Dr. Ericksen listens and undestands.
I came to Dr. Ericksen for advice about pain relief for my bad back. He listened to and understood my concerns and agreed to an appropriate remedy which is in the works. Everyone on staff at KOC from the front desk to nurses, x-ray staff are professional and caring.

Thumbs Up on Dr Ericksen
Today was my first appointment with Dr Ericksen. I was very pleased with the depth of experience I had. He fielded all my questions and explained in detail my issues and my treatment options. He did not rush through the appointment. I feel confident that I will now be able to get the treatment I need.

Spinal follow up
Got me in and out of the office, which is always a plus in my business. Everyone from the PA to Dr. Erickson is very professional. Always have a tremendous level of confidence after my visits and prior to surgery.

Bad Experience
I had heard great things about Dr. Ericksen, other than having poor bedside manners. He had not familiarized himself with my history, and seemed to have zero interest in helping me. He was smug, inconsiderate, and condescending. He was unable to answer a simple question of mine, making me question his ability as a physician. I will definitely be seeking help elsewhere. It makes me sad that someone can be so rude, lack care and compassion, and have no passion for their profession.

Neck MRI
He dismissed the results from my MRI due to not having all notes. I had the full results with me but was not concerned. Would not listen to my concerns regarding the pain i am experiencing. He is supposed to be a Spine Specialist but showed no remorse for my pain. He set up a Epidural shot and stating 'if it works, then he guesses something was wrong.' Told me I did not have fibromyalgia due to my pain level. Been dealing with pain over 30 yrs. I can tolerate pain. He was very arrogant. I do not recommend him.

My hero! Dr. Erickson is the best!
I was in such incredible pain to the point I couldn’t walk. Dr Erickson took that pain away. I highly recommend him to anyone who has issues with their back. He’s this 60 year old woman’s hero!

Dr Erickson
Liked that Dr Ericksen reviewed the x rays and MRI and explained concerns and options from more conservative to more invasive. I arrived 30 minutes early for appointment and waited over an hour for X-rays and waited again. Left at 5:30 after an appointment scheduled at 3:15 so receptionists had left and I couldn’t schedule next appointment. They did call to reschedule today. Doctor didn’t seem to rush thru even though I apparently was the last patient.
