Life Journey

Dr. Erickson obtained his medical degree at Chicago College of Osteopathic Medicine, now Midwestern University, in 1987. He then attended the University of Buffalo where he was enrolled in the State University of New York’s Family Medicine Residency Program.
Upon graduation, Dr. Erickson entered private practice with his wife, Dr. Jennifer Erickson, and was one of the founders of Buffalo Family Practice and Pro Medicus Health Group. Following that endeavor, the husband and wife doctor duo entered into their own private practice.
