Review for Dr. Erickson

Trying to find a primary and came across your profile. I'm about to cry lol. I finally got insurance again.Dr. Kessler is straight up the best. He listens, is extremely knowledgeable, and professional. My clinic visits and results were always on time. If I could give 1,000,000 stars.

And if I could I would put Christmas lights and glitter on the 5 stars so everyone would be sure to see it...
