Charles Ericsson, M.D., was inspired to become a physician by a Harvard professor who was a Nobel Laureate.
“He made biology fun,” said Ericsson, professor of internal medicine at McGovern Medical School at UTHealth. “I decided to specialize in infectious disease because I wanted to be a medical detective. In this field, you get immediate gratification because you are able to cure most people.”
Dr. Ericsson, who is also the director of the travel medicine clinic, has conducted clinical studies on traveler’s diarrhea in Guadalajara, Mexico. These research studies, as well as his upbringing as an Army brat, naturally segued into an interest in travel medicine.
Dr. Ericsson is the founder and editor-in-chief of The Journal of Travel Medicine and past president of the International Society of Travel Medicine.
He is also heavily involved in hospital infection control and antibiotic approval programs and directs the Infectious Diseases Fellowship Training Program at UTHealth.

It was very good
Excellent environment. Since I walk in, everybody was so friendly, the receptionist, administrative, medical, especially the Dr. Ericsson. Excellent doctor. I mean, I trust him with my life.
Dr. Ericsson has always been very helpful, wonderful, and enlighten-ful, explains everything to me correctly, fusses at me when I need to be fussed at, if something's not right in my blood work, or if I haven't did something right, in a happy, positive way. I am a doctor, so that should be responsible for doing things like he says. But so far, since 2009, he has kept me alive, and well, and done very well doing it. His staff is wonderful. His nurses and attending physicians are wonderful. And he's probably one of the best doctors I've ever been to in my life. And thank you all.
Dr. Ericsson was very knowledgeable and made me feel very comfortable with my upcoming trip. I was kind of freaking out before I came and then he just calmed me down and explained everything I needed and it went really well. That's all I have to say.
Dr. Ericsson is the go-to person for international travel. He knows what vaccines and meds you need and don't need. The latter being important as well.
Dr. Ericsson was outstanding! My wife and I saw him together in the Travel Medicine clinic for our trip to Egypt. He was extremely thorough and spent about 45 minutes with us. He went through my medical history and made detailed instructions relevant to myself and my medication interactions.
[...] Dr. Harrison has always been a really good doctor.
The doctors and nurses were really phenomenal and they really addressed my questions. The only ones that I really was disapproved of was the young ladies who were supposed to take my billing. They kept arguing between themselves over who was the next one to do it and neither one seemed to want to take it and they seemed to want to argue with the nurse about it. It was very unprofessional.
Everything was good, they treated me very well, thank you very much
The doctor, nurse, and staff were professional, knowledgeable, and accommodating. Dr. Ericsson and his nurse were terrific.
We got in and out early, which was wonderful. The nurse gave us a cold pack for our medication since we were driving a long way. The dr gave us the travel meds we needed but also the benefit of his experience in how to avoid problems. Every single person was friendly, including the lady at the front entrance. All around an excellent experience.
Overall was good. Everyone was friendly and helpful. I was not informed of the cost of my vaccine before it was administered. There also seems to be a billing mistake. I was charged for the full series of shots when I only received one. I was also unable to get the primary vaccine I came in for because you were out of stock so now I have to go somewhere else to receive that.
[...] They were very informative. They guided me through all the testing I had to get done. Everyone was polite. Everybody was informative. Everybody was courteous and very knowledgeable. I would definitely be recommending anyone else that needed that service to your doctor. Thank you.
Very professional and friendly. Very timely.
