“I’m a new patient here and had a positive first visit with Erika. She’s super nice and I instantly felt at ease with her. The nurse assistant Cassidy was friendly too and the receptionist welcoming. The procedure done to me went on very smoothly.”

Friendly. Knowledgeable. Yes I would.
December 23, 2024Richard S.Verified patient
Dr. Grinde was very kind, and explained the whole procedure of full body scan before she began. She was great about getting consent from me and made me feel very comfortable in a vulnerable exam. She did, however, seem very rushed to get out of the appointment. I didn’t finish asking other questions before she lowered the chair and bid me farewell.

Great all around
January 23, 2024Justin R.Verified patient
I recently had an appointment with Erika for a persistent skin issue that I had been struggling with. I was impressed by her professional demeanor and efficient approach.
Erika quickly diagnosed my problem, providing clear and concise explanations. She prescribed a treatment that was easy to follow, and my skin issue began to resolve within just a few days after following her advice.
I am incredibly grateful to Erika for her help and would highly recommend her to anyone seeking dermatological care. Her efficiency and professionalism are commendable, and I can't thank her enough for the relief she has provided me.
