“Erika was so lovely! I visited her for a skin cancer screening and to have a skin growth removed. Dr. was able to address all my concerns in one visit. I had several small moles removed. I was in and out very quickly and felt like my visit was very thorough. The whole team was welcoming and kind. Highly recommend Erika to anybody looking for a new dermatologist :) ”

I have been seeing Erika for a while with a particular pesky skin condition. She is friendly, personable and gets straight to the point on what we need to do to work on getting my situation resolved. I am thankful for her knowledge, skill and friendliness :)
Verified patient
Friendly. Knowledgeable. Yes I would.
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
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.
