At a young age Dr. Kovac was inspired by his grandfather who lost both of his legs due to diabetes. His desire was to gain a greater education in an effort to help others avoid that same outcome.
Dr. Erickson was first exposed to Podiatry while serving a mission for his church in the Philippines. Dr. Erickson was able to see first-hand the complex congenital deformities and the life-long disabilities this caused among the Filipino people. While serving there, he came in contact with a group of physicians who were on a medical mission providing reconstructive surgeries for clubfoot deformities.
