experience any symptoms at all." (for FemHealth, 2021)
WHAT IS ADENOMYOSIS?
"A lot of patients, and it's understandable, don't want to leave their house right now," she said. "The pandemic is scary - as a doctor, I'm afraid sometimes, and I want to be real about it, because it's OK to seek help in the comfort of your home." (for KTVB7, 2021)
"Why can’t physicians be allowed to be human, too? Why can’t we be encouraged to show our humor, our expressiveness, our unique interests, or certain aspects of our social lives? Some of my most valuable patient interactions had happened when I did exactly that..." (for KevinMD, 2021)

"Dr. Erika changed my life! I've never had a doctor talk to me the way she did. She was so personable and explained things that just made sense. I've never had a doctor talk to me the way she did, or take their time to listen to me like that. I felt like she was really engaged and wanted the best for me, and I am beyond grateful she's my doctor! There is a reason so many people love her!"

"Dr. Erika is my favorite doctor to follow online! When I saw her on tv, I literally ran to the screen to snap a picture and texted my friend to watch. She's a real person, and it is fun to see a doctor who has a personality and posts things that are so true to my own life. I love her blogs and the real-life emotions she talks about."

"Dr. Erika is so much more than a doctor--she celebrates women empowering other women and supports us coming together. I introduced her to a female empowerment and charitable organization, and she immediately contacted them, bought and wore their product and promoted it on her own social media. She lives her passion and doesn't just talk about it, and I think that says a lot about who she is."
