I’ve never had a problem with dentists, but my husband had spent a lifetime(almost 40 years) struggling with a phobia brought on by terrible dental experiences as a child. Alan Erickson was able to gently help my husband get over his fear and get the dental care he needed. Alan took the time to just schedule some talking time to get to know him before taking any other steps. We have now used Alan Erickson for almost 4 years. He’s personable, professional and skilled. His staff is always friendly and accommodating as well. It’s a very busy dental office and often you have to book appointments a week or more in advance. His office isn’t open on Friday — which can sometimes be a drag, but other than that I have no complaints at all!
