I cannot recommend Dr. Ericson highly enough. I was at the end of my rope with hand pain when I saw him around 2015. I couldn't always dress or feed myself, I was in so much pain, muchless use pencils, etc. After his caring surgical help, great referrals to OT, etc. I GOT BACK TO WORK, studied, changed to a better job, and I have an infant whose middle name is William in honor of the fact he wouldn't have been born without Dr William Ericson fixing my hands and arms enough that I could live again, myself. Any parents out there who have navigated baby clothes snaps, childproof anything, and babies themselves should be able to understand intimately why unstable finger/hand/arm/shoulder joint pain would make a dream like a child feel impossible. And yet, I love and care for my baby today, because of Dr. Ericson's help several years ago, after so many other doctors said there was nothing to be done for EDS pain. I thank God he chose the profession he did. He could have done so many other things. But he has made a real, lasting difference in many peoples lives, including mine, with his compassion,...
Ā Ā Ā Read moreI had 13 done on my left dominant hand six months ago and 10 surgeries done on my right hand three months ago with Dr. Ericson. I am a professional artist who has Ehlers Danlos syndrome and for the last five years I lost the use of my hands to the point where my partner had to cut my food for me.
I cannot recommend Dr. Ericson enough, every day I am surprised by just how much I had lost prior to the surgery and hadn't realized until I was able to use my hands in the normal way again.
This has been life-changing, there was pain with the surgery of course and a month or so and being down but the freedom and mobility I have now what is so very worth it.
The staff was amazing, very helpful, dr. Erickson is the best doctor I've ever seen not only did he take all the time with me to answer my many many questions but he was thorough, kind, understanding and incredibly knowledgeable. The hospital was amazing, the physical therapist who made the brace was incredibly knowledgeable and helpful.
I have absolutely nothing bad to say only that I am in deep gratitude forgetting my hands...
