“I would give PATRICK ERICKSON zero stars, but I don’t have that option. He doesn’t know what’s going on, he is incompetent. Today I had an appointment with him and it was one of the worst appointments in my life. I will NEVER talk to him again. He is horrible. He’s extremely confused about when he prescribes medication, HE HAS NO CLUE….. He needs to pay better attention and be more aware and on top of things. He didn’t look clean cut, he looked like he just crawled out of bed. This is one of the worst and dumbest doctors in this entire world.”

We will serve patients facing transportation challenges or who have historically felt "unheard" by the traditional healthcare system. A path exists to high-quality, compassionate, and accessible healthcare. We know because we built it.
