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.

If I could choose zero stars I would! I would NOT recommend this dr to my enemy. My father now has an infectious disease in his leg, due to lack of care & concern from Dr. Erickson. After telling people our story, the horror stories of people who have been operated on by him are just that, complete horror. From people who were minutes away from death, to those who lost limbs due to infection after his operations. I honestly don't know why or how he still has a medical license. Heed the warning!
