About
Erika Dearing saw herself as a doctor after her first trip to the Emergency Department at age 10. That’s when she realized how much doctors can do to help people in need. “I already loved math and science and was fascinated by the human body. To see those strengths being put to work made me decide to become a physician,” she says.
Dr. Dearing’s choice to specialize in women’s health care stemmed from another visit with a doctor. This time, she was pregnant and went to an OB/GYN for the first time. “I was in medical school and had not yet decided what I wanted to do as a specialty. I thought my doctor had a fun job. She seemed to always be on the go, between the office, surgeries and delivering babies.” Dr. Dearing paid special attention during her OBGYN rotation and knew it was the right match for her. “I like being able to see patients in the clinic and develop bonds. I also enjoy using my surgical skills to help women.”
In her medical practice, Dr. Dearing strives to form a partnership with patients. She makes sure patients understand their health condition and know options for treatment. “I truly want shared decision making when a patient and I develop a treatment plan. If patients are involved in choosing their plan of care, they will benefit more from their treatment,” Dr. Dearing says.
Dr. Dearing believes that patients know more about their bodies than anyone else. That’s why Dr. Dearing asks questions, listens to the patient and looks more deeply into the problem to find the right solution. She also helps patients advocate for their own health care. “I believe if a patient is involved in choosing their plan of care, they will benefit more from their treatment,” she says.
In Her Own Words
Who is or was the most influential person/role model in your life? Dr. Lehman, my OBGYN, who introduced me to this field and helped me to shape my career.
What is your favorite food? Velveeta Macaroni and Cheese
If you could sit down to dinner with anyone (alive or deceased) who would it be and why? My late great-grandmother to hear stories about her childhood and growing up 100 years ago and hopefully learn from them.
What are your hobbies, interests? I really like sports, especially NFL and MLB. I root for the Detroit Lions and I have fun watching their games. I like scoring baseball games. I also enjoy crossword puzzles, jigsaw puzzles and reading.
What is something most people don’t know about you? I skipped the second grade.
