Dr. Erik Brand, MD

Throughout my injury, Dr Brand was thorough and listened with compassion and empathy. He was always trying to find the best solution for the best recovery plan! His communication style was elite and I was consistently updated about my plan of care. He continually communicated with my work, physical therapists and other doctors to make sure we were all on the same page! A unique part of his plan is to take a holistic approach to make sure my diet, sleep and mental health were also supported during his care! I highly appreciate his communication, knowledge and overall support of me as an individual!

Dr. Brand is one of the most caring doctors that I have had encountered during my last 10 years injury’s health care experience! Every time I visit his office, I feel that I have been heard and refreshed! Upon visiting him, I get a sense of a direction with my health! He is able to tailor his treatment and give me the proper advice towards my pain and my concerns! What I like most about his style, is that he provides a safe place where I can express my feelings and concerns and yet feel that I found the right doctor that provides me the tools to empower me with the proper way of how to improve my life! He is a good listener and very attentive! Dr. Brand, brings the control back to me which I appreciate a lot! I struggled with stress, neck pain, shoulder and arm injuries when I first saw him.

I would highly recommend Dr. Brand. I feel very invigorated and refreshed and feel like I have a sense of direction with my health every time I visit his office. I'm a dentist and he's very attune to the stresses and strain my lifestyle and work puts on my body, and tailors his treatment and advice to what I'm telling him.What I really like about his provider style is that he provides a safe space where I can express and process what my life is like and what I'm dealing with and then provides me tools to empower me to improve my life going forward. I feel like a lot of healthcare providers usually tell you what to do, but with Dr. Brand, he brings that control back to me, which I appreciate immensely.I struggled with stress, a sore neck, and increasing back pain when I first saw him. He's given me tools to stay pain free and to help manage the stress.Thank you Dr. Brand!

Dr. Brand is a wonderfully attentive and passionate professional with a seemingly endless list of other excellent specialists to help dig down to the root of a problem. He is also very easy to communicate with about specific medical things as well as scheduling and moving forward aggressively or more slowly to work around your life. I also appreciate his cautious approach to medications and surgeries, trying to get a very clear picture of the actual problem before seriously considering solutions that could possibly have negative side affects.

I am an 81 year old triathlete competing with people half my age. I have occasionally experience a training injury, like Achilles tendonitis and bicep tendonitis. Dr. Brand has successfully treated these injuries and helped keep me competitive. More than that, he has provided me with information and exercises that have helped me remain remarkably free of such injuries. He is not only very knowledgeable but very patient and an excellent listener. I am completely satisfied with the help he has provided and recommend him highly.

Dr. Brand was extremely helpful and calming. He explained all of my results and was very positive. He looked at my whole condition-- addressing not only my physical condition but also the worry associated with it. His treatment plan gave me back some control and focussed on keeping me doing the things I love. Top notch doc!!!

I saw Dr. Brand for a hip injury that had been bothering me for months. After my first appointment, I already felt much different than how I usually feel leaving a doctors office. I felt an overwhelming sense of relief. He created a plan for me right away with many resources that I would not have known about if it was not for him! I appreciated greatly how he cared about my needs as a whole person and not just the injury. He addressed different aspects of my health and used the term “life-athlete”. Making appointments and getting a hold of the office was always quick and easy. Overall, I feel more confident in my health than I did before and I am on a great path, utilizing some amazing resources that I wouldn’t have had before seeing Brand.

My dear 85 year old mom, ended up with a broken hip and leg from a fall, after two surgeries, Mom was not walking straight, and a lot of pain. Mom was depressed, doctors sent her home with some pain pills and exercise which didn’t help. She did massages, shiatsu, acupuncture, shots and the worst part of it, she was ready to give up on driving for good, her independence got cut in half. I asked Dr Brand if he would read her tests results and he gladly agreed. Dr Brand ask a lot of questions to get to know his patients, that’s how he does his magic, He listens! Well, Dr Brand came up with a plan, and my job was to make sure mom was following her routine, as directed by Dr Brand. Started with level 10 pain, within 3 days the pain was 5, then 4 and one morning, mom told me that she drove again and went shopping in the supermarket .. Wow! Ten days later, mom stopped the pills! She’s got her independence back! hope! a smile! And clear of pain. Thank you Dr Brand for listening and knowing!

I’m a physical therapist. My 17 year old son has been dealing with a chronic hip injury that has greatly interferes with rowing for greenlake crew. My familiarity with the mechanics of rowing is limited so we met with Dr Brand to have him work with my son’s stroke. I was very impressed with his great knowledge and ability to analyze the mechanics of the stroke from a medical perspective. He was able to identify several potential problems and efficiently coach my son on adjustments he can make to improve his stroke and place far less strain on his hip. Dr Brand is very enthusiastic and personable and able to inspire hope that there is a way out of this injury.

I highly recommend Dr. Brand. He was able to figure out the cause of my injury on the first appointment, and gave me an immediate plan to take care of the issue. I appreciate Dr. Brand's high level of knowledge, professional approach, and direct treatment plan. If you are thinking about going to a knowledgeable physician for your injury, then go see Dr. Brand.

Dr. Brand helped our teenage son recover from a sports related back injury. The injury stumped other doctors who referred us to Dr. Brand. Dr. Brand methodically investigated all the potential causes; spent as much time as needed with us including phone calls on the week end; and treated both the physical and mental aspects of injury. Our son is now 100% recovered and learned a lot about his body in the process. Dr. Brand provided excellent personal attention, worked as a team with all of us when the cause of pain was confounding, and he brought fresh thinking and ideas to the situation. We highly recommend Dr Brand, especially for complicated cases that require a holistic approach, judgment, and thoroughness.

I have had the privilege of working with Dr. Brand both as a colleague and a patient. I can count on Dr. Brand to be thorough, professional and up to date on current treatment options. As a local physical therapist, it is often necessary for me to send a patient for further work-up. Being a sports Medicine Physiatrist, Dr. Brand is able to order any necessary diagnostic imaging, provide conservative treatment approaches and then refer patients on to appropriate surgeons as necessary.

Great and knowledgable. Helpfull and premotes nonpharmaceutical, natural healing.

I've been a patient of Dr. Brand's for several weeks now and couldn't be happier. The time and effort he's put into my care has been really astonishing. I've never had a doctor connect my whole health history and look at everything from such a holistic standpoint. Absolute 5/5.

I've seen Dr. Brand over the last year for an ongoing issue with my knee. After getting the imaging back he was able to diagnose my condition and come up with a comprehensive plan to minimize the pain so I can continue on with my life. I also liked how easy it was to contact him with questions I had throughout the treatment never had anything like that with any other doctor.

Erik has a profound sense of care across the entire wellness spectrum. Takes a good deal of time to explain every procedure, the necessary follow up and corrective actions I can take on my own. I would give my highest possible recommendation.

Dr Brand is one of the most thorough doctors I have seen of late. I came to him with a hurt knee and he not only focused on my knee, but on total body wellness. He is a doctor who thinks outside the box looking for answers and therapies in all arenas. He is both professional and personal, he makes you feel like you are either his only patient or his favorite one. I was most impressed with his attention to details surrounding my total wellness and how that related to my injury. Go see Dr Brand!

Dr. Brand showed me the bigger picture to recovery. This includes anti-inflammatory diet, sleep, giving up caffeine during the rehab process and that all of these things play a big part in the recovery process. This made the recovery 2-3 times better than the prior rotator cuff surgery a year earlier. Out of all the medical professionals I've worked with during this process, Dr. Brand taught me more about rehabbing my injury and involving all the processes of the body. Thank you Dr. Brand.

Erik was able to get me in within a couple days when other doctors were not able to see me for over 2 weeks. He has been instrumental in resolving a multitude of injuries by giving me various treatment options and only recommends the most invasive treatments as a last resort. I appreciated that he is willing to go over x-ray/MRI results with me right away, even if that means working after regular business hours. I recommend Erik to all of my friends and family!

Dr. Brand is the best Doctor we ever had. He is professional. Have the most updated knowledge in his field. He always listen to his patient , find out what is needed for treatment. He gave a few options and explained the difference. He always involved the patient and the care giver and find out what is the best for the whole family or the whole team. He will help to contact other doctor's for the patient if the patient asked him to. He just the best. He would go extra miles to help his patient
