Meet The Dentists

Dr. Erickson

Southern Oregon-raised Dr. Ian Erickson had an interest in Dentistry at an early age. His mother, Linn, is a hygienist, and his father, Mart, is a dentist. With both parents in the dental business, Dr. Erickson developed a thorough understanding of the profession. In 2000, he graduated from Grants Pass High School and was accepted into Linfield College. In 2004, he graduated from Linfield with a Bachelor of Science Degree and then went on to attend Oregon Health Science and University School of Dentistry. It was at OHSU that he met and married his wife, Dr. Nicole Keck-Erickson. Together, they graduated from OHSU in 2008 and came back to their hometown in Southern Oregon. The first 5 years out of dental school, Dr. Ian Erickson worked with his father, Dr. Mart Erickson, in Grants Pass. He valued the opportunity to learn from his father and uses much of what he learned in his practice today. Sports and extracurricular activities have always been a very important attribute of Dr. Ian’s life, which he continues still. He is an active cycler and snowboarder, but all that sometimes takes a backseat to raising his four kids.

“It has always been a dream of mine to practice with my wife. Together, we are able to provide patients with a true family dental care experience.”– Dr. Erickson

Dr. Keck

Dr. Nicole Keck-Erickson (Dr. Keck) lives in Medford with her husband and four very energetic kids. She attended OSU, OHSU School of Dentistry, and continually participates in advanced continuing education courses. Both she and her husband enjoy practicing dentistry in their hometown community. One of Dr. Keck’s favorite things about dentistry is building long-lasting relationships with her patients while at the same time improving their health and smiles. She understands many people get extreme anxiety when faced with dental appointments, so she is committed to providing a comfortable experience for her patients. Dr. Keck offers many sedation options and is one of the few dentists in our area who can perform IV sedation. Her hobbies include pretty much anything outdoors, but she especially enjoys skiing, snowboarding, gardening, and running. She is also passionate about giving back to our community and is involved with local school and community programs, as well as several organizations to benefit children with disabilities.

DR. IIDA

Dr. Nicole Iida brings a unique blend of cultural perspective, compassion, and hands-on artistry to her approach to dentistry. Originally from Japan, she spent her early childhood and primary school years there before relocating to the United States to pursue her education and future career in healthcare.

Long before entering dentistry, Dr. Iida dedicated much of her time to serving others through volunteer work. She volunteered as an animal rescue worker, helping prepare rescued shelter animals for life with their new families. She also spent more than a decade volunteering at the Mobile International Festival, where she helped promote cultural awareness while learning about traditions and perspectives from around the world. In addition, she volunteered for Boat People SOS, assisting Vietnamese-speaking individuals with translation services to help them navigate everyday language barriers.

Dr. Iida attended the University of South Alabama, where she earned her Bachelor of Science degree in Professional Health Sciences, along with double minors in Spanish and Healthcare Management. Although she was accepted into medical school, she made the decision to return home to Kyoto, Japan to reconnect with her siblings after years apart.

While living in Kyoto, Dr. Iida met Dr. Nobuyuki Nakai, a prosthodontist and oral surgeon who was, at the time, the only English-speaking provider in the area. Inspired by his work, she began an internship and quickly developed a strong interest in oral surgery. Determined to pursue dentistry, she flew back to the United States for two days to take the Dental Admission Test.

Dr. Iida ultimately made the decision to return to the United States where she later earned her Doctor of Dental Surgery degree from Indiana University. She often shares that one reason she chose Indiana University was because her interviewer showed genuine interest in her hobby of building cars. Having built her first car at just 17 years old, she credits much of her manual dexterity and attention to detail to her experience working with her hands. Video games have also remained a fun and creative outlet throughout her life, and she still enjoys making time for them whenever she can. Today, Dr. Iida enjoys spending time outdoors with her high-spirited toddler, whether snowboarding, hiking, or simply chasing sunsets together. She also cooks every day and enjoys discovering new and interesting ingredients to incorporate into her meals.
