Dr. Eric Larson, MD — Local services in Santa Monica

I cannot recommend Dr. Eric Larson highly enough. After calling multiple surgeons to address my father’s urgent staph infection in his elbow, Dr. Larson’s team was the first to truly listen to our concerns. Jen, the office coordinator, promptly connected me to Dr. Larson, who, even though he was leaving for the day, personally took the time to understand the situation over the phone. He was not only patient and personable but also quick to grasp the urgency of our concerns given my dad’s existing health issues, immediately arranging to see my dad the following morning.

Despite his packed schedule and an impending vacation, Dr. Larson performed the necessary procedure the next day. His bedside manner was outstanding, making my dad feel comfortable and heard throughout the process. Post-procedure, Dr. Larson thoughtfully explained the outcome, provided detailed aftercare instructions, and generously offered his personal contact for any emergent questions during his vacation.

As someone in healthcare who interacts with numerous doctors, I was profoundly impressed by Dr. Larson’s expertise, thoroughness, and compassionate approach. It’s very evident that he truly prioritizes patient care above all else, and for the way he treated my dad, I am incredibly grateful. If you are seeking a skilled and caring surgeon, I highly recommend Dr. Larson...

I went to see Dr. Larson after a bicycle crash left me unable to straighten my arm. Not only was he quick to diagnose the elbow fracture, but his attentive care to have a precautionary look at my wrist also unearthed an old break I foolishly never had looked at! While I was disappointed to learn of the break I can’t deny I’m thrilled that his expertise and care saved me from an arthritis filled future.

4 months out from my surgery (which I made tougher on him than it had to be due to ~7 years of neglect) I can say with confidence that in addition to caring about his patients well being, Dr. Larson is a highly skilled surgeon who is able to explain concepts in an easy to understand manner as he was honest & realistic but made me feel at ease every step of the way.

I hope to not need his services again, but will highly recommend him to...

I recently had the pleasure of being a patient of Dr. Larson, after my left little finger was injured by being jammed while shuttling a football as a high school football official. I highly recommend him as a doctor. Just an important as the medical care he provided, his staff and all the associated administrative matters associated with seeing him worked seamlessly. I could not have been more pleased and satisfied. Dr. Larson was always on time, prompt and courteous. Each time I saw him he sat down with me and genuinely listened to status of my recovery. He was always prepared and recalled my recovery status from my previous appointments. Quite simply, I can't say enough kind words about him, his office, and his entire staff. I would happily refer him to my family, friends,...
