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.

Absolutely fabulous! Great listener, answered all my questions. Did not talk down to me, and was very sympathetic to my problem.

×Post a ResponseAre you Dr. Erickson?
Dr. Erickson is extremely knowledgeable about his profession. I didn't feel like a number, I didn't feel rushed or "put down"; rather; I felt that he sincerely cared about my health concerns & questions & really listened to what I had to say. I had no problem communicating with him or his staff. They always respond back to you in a very friendly, professional manner. When he did my colonoscopy & endoscopy, he and his team made me feel at ease and I knew I was in good hands.
