I really appreciate Dr. Erickson. I don't usually look forward to doctors visits but she is totally different. Normally in the past I would dread going to the doctor because of the ways they would try to handle me or not really listen. I value her input and I really appreciate her "bedside manner". My experience is that Dr. Erickson is kind, open, gracious, and challenges me where I need to be challenged. Check her out! read more

I started seeing Dr. Rachel Erickson about 2 months ago. I've been feeling slightly fed up with my regular health care provider- short appointment times, impossible to get an appointment yada yada yada. I understand that the entire health care system is pretty stretched thin. However- my first apt with Dr. Erickson was 75 minutes and she was so thorough and I could see the wheels turning in her brain as she is taking my entire medical history into consideration before she prescribed or suggests anything. I have already improved my digestive system, discontinued two meds and I feel hopeful for my health. read more

Dr. Rachel is wonderful! My first visit to her was in 2013, when I was at the end-of-my-rope battling a sinus infection off-n-on for 5+ years. My "western medicine" practitioners kept prescribing steroids & antibiotics, and repeatedly recommended surgery. Rachel patiently listened, did a full blood work-up, and determined I had food allergies. She changed my life!! Rachel is very compassionate, she asks great questions, is patient & gentle when I sometimes have to confess that I've been non-compliant with her instructions :-) Another bonus: she is very knowledgeable, has great passion & intellectual curiosity for her craft. When she determined I had an unusual type of anemia, she took a 3 day weekend course to learn more about my condition. I highly recommend Dr. Rachel :-) read more

Dr. Erickson is compassionate, knowledgeable, and very thorough in her assessments. She asks about my life, and has a holistic approach, not just inquiring about a symptom of what's happening in the present. She's optimistic and a great cheerleader for my wellness journey. Thank you, Dr. Erickson! read more

I have found Dr Erickson to be very caring, supportive, good listener and willing to go the extra mile for me. I recommend her, and I have been telling my friends. She refers-out for issues that aren't her specialties - which I appreciate. She has been very willing to process my insurance and work with me to get covered what can be covered. Dr Erickson was referred to me by my chiropractor, as someone who could help me solve the puzzle of my health. Scary stuff was going on with my body, and western medicine was not serving me. In my first meeting with her, she told be a big piece of what my issues are - I thought she was wrong - but the lab results proved she was correct. I hope she can help you as well and as quickly as she is helping me! read more

Awesome doc. Saved me from a life bound to bed rest due to chronic pain & inflammation. I only wish I would have seen her earlier in my life before all the surgeries. She has taught me a new way to eating much healthier, , and I am beyond grateful for that. Dr. Rachel will not fix it FOR you, but WITH you,teaching you to be responsible about your own health, while providing you with the necessary therapies to aid in your healing. The labs she orders are thorough, and her follow up appointments always end with yet another step toward progression of optimum health. I will continue to see Dr. Erickson for a very long time. She has been a God-send in my life. If you're looking for a medical professional who truly cares about YOU, look no further. Give her a call. You rock, Dr Rachel! read more

Dr. Rachel is literally the BEST "REAL" Doctor I've Ever Known. She truly deserves the title of doctor! MOST doctors prescribe medications and have no knowledge of true health or nutrition or proper blood testing~BUT Dr. Rachel Knows It ALL!! She's incredibly intelligent, extremely helpful, and an incredible listener~AND she GENUINELY Cares about the health & well being of her patients! :)) She completely helped me get on the right path to recovering from a chronic and deadly autoimmune! She was the ONLY doctor who did the accurate blood work and consistently was helpful, without doubt or without exceptions. Not only that but her knowledge is SPOT ON and in All Forms SHE exceeds the standard and inaccurate average doctor. Dr. Rachel is Exceptional. Every human being on the planet would be lucky to visit with Dr Rachel, and that is still an understatement! Cheers!! :) ~Brooke read more

Dr. Rachel brings order to the chaos of treatment. She spends the time to get to know you and all of your concerns. I can't thank her enough for her genuine insight, caring, and wealth of knowledge. Also, for those of you who might be on the fence about whether or not a ND is as useful as a MD, I was with you until I worked with Dr. Rachel. She is *not* afraid to send me to other doctors and doesn't think all western medicine is wrong. She gives a very balanced and fair approach to medicine. One last thing, last year, Dr. Rachel was the first doctor to accurately diagnosis and help my partner. My partner had seen a number of other doctors and all of them missed the problem. Thanks to Dr. Rachel's slow and steady approach to medicine, my partner is actually getting better. read more

Dr. Erickson is truly one of a kind. She listens closely to my questions and concerns. She works with me to come up with a health care plan that works for me and my lifestyle. Instead of just setting health goals she helps me figure out individual steps in achieving those goals. She has always been supportive of my preventive medicine approach. read more

Dr. Erickson is such a great doctor! She really tries to get to the root of any health issue and will go above and beyond to find a way to help you. She helped me when I was struggling with iron deficiency and has helped me with many other things as well. She is a great listener and is very supportive of her patients living a balanced healthy life! read more

I will remain forever grateful for Dr. Erickson as I thoroughly believe she saved my life, or at the very least saved me from an unnecessary surgical procedure. I had tested positive for HPV and cervical dysplasia for the past 3 years. 3 months ago the dysplasia had progressed to CIN 2 and my (former) GP sent me to Swedish to get a biopsy. The biopsy confirmed the diagnosis and they were adamant about doing a LEEP procedure ASAP. Having read quite a bit about this procedure, and possible complications, I decided I would try all other options first. This is when I came across Dr. Erickson's blog on cervical dysplasia. I immediately made an appointment and she set me on a 3-month treatment plan. Our goal was to reverse the dysplasia and (hopefully) clear the virus. Last week, we repeated the pap and blood tests (through the same company most doctors use- LabCorp). My results came back and not only was my dysplasia COMPLETELY reversed (yay for normal cells!), but I was also tested negative for every strand of high-risk HPV!!! The virus itself was CLEARED (which a LEEP procedure cannot do, so the risk of the dysplasia returning would remain)!!! In addition to these amazing results, Dr. Erickson was caring, took the time to answer all of my (many) questions, went through all of my test results with me, and managed to calm my distress. She represents everything medicine SHOULD be about. I highly recommended her as a GP, and especially for issues with cervical dysplasia. Thank you, thank you, thank you, Dr. Erickson!!!! read more

I really appreciated Dr Rachel's style and we accomplished a lot in our time together. Her nonjudgemental posture always put me at ease being fully forthright with my health concerns, lifestyle choices, behaviors, etc. The honesty that afforded us allowed for tremendously powerful and pragmatic conversations and quick adaptations that resulted in successful plans of care. More so, I've never met a medical practitioner who so eloquently educated me throughout the entire process. She inspired my learning and matched my pace. Either I was just profoundly lucky to find a care provider I was so well in sync with or she is able to adapt to move and communicate with her patients at a level of effectiveness I have never before seen. My wife was just as excited as I was, which leads me to believe it was Rachel's mastery rather than luck. read more

Dr. Rachel Erickson is wonderful practitioner. I was her patient for about 3 years. She completely turned my husbands life around with his GERD issues. She has also helped me with minor issues through natural remedies. All while staying positive and pleasant she will help guide you along your journey of achieving optimal health. read more

As soon as I found out that Dr. Erickson is back in Seattle, I made an appoint with her and have been back for a few times. I am so happy that she's my doctor again. Such a relief! My health improved a lot with just one visit I had a few years ago, but now I am doing even better since Dr. Erickson's back. The new office is so much nicer than the previous one too. Visits to doctors aren't fun, but the ones to Dr. Erickson are something I look forward to. read more

Rachel (who, in the interest of full disclosure, I have known since grade school) combines effective, science-based medicine with an ethos of intelligence and compassion. Highly recommended for anyone looking for an ND who's not about the "woo". read more

Today I saw Dr. Rachel for the third time. I am so thankful I found her. She is so supportive, encouraging, motivated and realistic. I finely feel happy to see a doctor after so many years of searching and being disappointed by prior doctors and/or experiences in dealing with my chronic health conditions. I feel comfortable, safe, respected and in good hands with Dr. Rachel. I truly feel working with her will eventually heal 19 years of health problems . I encourage anyone and everyone to see her. Not only is she great, her office is very clean and pleasant. read more

Dr. Rachel Erickson is genuine and professional. She is not going to push something on you that you don't need. I spent over an hour in her office and exam room discussing my situation. She asked confirmation questions which helped me feel even more reassured I was being listened to. If you need to schedule an appointment is best to email her. She is very busy because she spends quality time with a patient. read more

I thought I'd try meeting with a naturopath for my annual physical. Based on Yelp reviews, I picked Rachel. First of all, for my annual physical she did 0 physical exam. I was also due for a Pap smear, which I told her, and she did no gynecological exam nor Pap. Then, she asked questions about fatigue as part of the visits. I told her I was tired on some days when I went to bed late and my 2 year old didn't sleep well, but that my energy is usually quite good. Later in the visit, she prescribed 2 vitamin supplements for "fatigue". She even sent an email with the exact purchaser and a link to place the order immediately. Then, though there was no reason, tried to schedule a visit the next week. I told her I had no need to come back. I got routine labs done after the visit and after a week I had to call her to see what the results were. She asked me to make another appointment to get my results. I declined, again asking that she let me know my results. They were all normal. I short, she tried to set up several unnecessary appointments and prescribed unnecessary supplements just to line her pockets. All this while neglecting important health care maintenance. read more

I met Dr. Erickson here in Seattle and was totally blown away by her knowledge and intuition. She has a knack for being able to take what you say and integrate it into a plan that was sound and feasible for an active gal like me. I wish she had stayed in Seattle but now Spokane has a superb ND that is in the area! I am very jealous! read more
