“Dr. Erickson made me reborn........”
I used have been sleeping while I was driving and I was sleeping while I sit down. Since Dr. Erickson have made my oral appliance then I was reborn. I have been feeling really rest at night and I don't sleep while I am driving and resting on couch any more. I haven't flown Helicopter because of my sleep apnea but I can fly again. It is huge! His after care service is just beyond anybody else. I highly recommend Dr. Erickson.

“Dr Erickson is Excellent”
Dr Erickson is above and beyond any expectations I have ever had for a medical professional. He is outstanding in his field. I received such considerate and personable care paired with extreme attention to every detail from Dr Erickson. I highly recommend him. My insomnia was affecting my day to day life. I am sleeping though the night with his expert help.

“Best Sleep Doctor ever!”
Difference between this guy and prior dental office like night and day...Very thorough, very professional and completely satisfied with overall experience from top to bottom-assistant did a great job as well as far as following up with the insurance company and getting back to me in a timely manner regarding the pre-authorization and approval process...would be more than happy to recommend to friends and anyone else I know struggling with sleep apnea and/or snoring issues

I am actually excited to go to bed now and actually get good rest. I have noticed a significant improvement in my rest and look forward for continued improvement.

“Couldn't imagine having a better experience.”
I recently completed a sleep study and came out as having a level of sleep apnea and was referred to Dr. Erickson's office. I was skeptical of getting any degree of relief from my snoring (which my wife does not enjoy) as well as thinking that my nightly sleep could be improved. Dr. Erickson was very transparent during our visits and made every step very clear, including the billing (which fell in line with exactly what the insurance company said). One week with my device and I'm sore-free!

“Excellent, caring patient care L”
Like many people, I could not tolerate the mask and doubted the oral appliance would be any better. However thanks to Dr. Erickson's patience, I am doing great.

“Changed my life! Can't live without it!I”
I have very low blood pressure and was told I needed to have a sleep apnea test. I couldn't use the C-Pap machine. I went to Dr. Alan Erickson for an oral device for sleep apnea. My husband now wants to get the same device. Why? Because he says I know longer snore, gasp or stop breathing at night. Another thing he noticed I am sleeping on my back for the first time EVER.
That's not all my BP which is very low in the mornings went from 92/84 to 118 or 122 over 82 in the morning. Best Doctor!

“very confident in Dr. Erickson's knowledge and ability with this procedure.”
This is the second appliance due to a dog getting the first one, but I am very pleased with the ability and experience in this office.
