Gearin Green, M.D., Orthopedic Surgeon, Foot and Ankle Specialist

Dr. Erickson is advanced fellowship trained specializing in shoulder, shoulder replacement, arthroscopy, cartilage, and sports medicine. The approach I take to care is straightforward and simple: I start by being an incredible listener and then rely on my advanced training and expertise to help educate patients on all of their treatment options for a specific diagnosis. A more educated patient leads to better outcomes and an exceptional patient experience. I believe in this personalized care and deliver the same care I would expect for my own friends and family. As a specialized orthopedic surgeon I am blessed to meet many wonderful people, all with unique stories to share. Every day I feel humbled, and filled with sincere gratitude, to have the opportunity to meet and care for all of these individuals.

In the orthopedic specialty, we work as part of a multi-disciplinary team to create the most customized treatment plans for each person and then implement them with knowledge and compassion. My goal is to provide the best orthopedic care possible. To achieve this, the patient has to be the top priority. This means being a good listener and taking the time to educate. It also requires collaborating and building trusting relationships.

Specializing in orthopedic trauma care, you have to be ready for anything. I treat people of every age, handle many acute injuries and provide all types of fracture care. To me, the skill and precision it requires to care for something as serious as a broken bone is obviously essential to a positive outcome. It’s not just the surgical aspect of addressing the physical injury that’s the sole focus though. I consider the mental and social impact these situations can have on my patients and offer the support needed to help them cope.
