Patient Reviews
Apr 08, 2020
Dr. Erchinger literally saved my life in 1999 in Landstuhl, Germany. I was a 33 year old military wife and mom of three little kids, who had stage 2 colon cancer. His brilliance not only saved my life, but gave me a complications free existence. I would recommend his exemplary skills to anyone needing colorectal surgery. He will forever be my hero, as well as my family's hero!!!
