Dr. Erickson and his staff were both very communicational and understanding in the situation that I was in they had ears to hear and they used them. They had a mouth to speak and they use those as well. They also had eyes to see, and they use them carefully the experience was very Comfortable and very informational. How do you recommend Sanford health, Dr. Erickson and his nurse and all the assistance in between thank you very much for your service.
