Had a great initial visit with Dr. Johnston. He shows he not only cares about his patient's health but is genuinely concerned about the individual as a whole. I would recommend him as anyone's physician.

I thought he was nice and listen to my issue. I went to him because my other primary doctor left. I gave him 4 stars because time will tell. Why is it though that no doctor will refer patients to specialist? He said if I continued to have issues to call him and he would refer me. He is the second doctor that would not refer me to a specialist. I will call back but do they not realize that we are busy too and this is just more hassles. Must be an insurance requirement.
