Dr. Johnson was great. He answered all my questions with no problems, performed the surgery superbly, and followed up with me personally. His staff is also wonderful and very helpful. If you have to go through this, he is a good doctor to help you through.

If first impressions are lasting ones Dr. Ronald R Johnson has left me angry. The first word out of his mouth was "You got this a$$ backward! You say the oncologist then me. You got to get your sh*t together". Our Nurse Concierge set up the appointments, not us. Being that this is my wife of 31 years and what's she's going through, I expected a lot more curtsey. He later continued on about her bust size and said "You are really BIG! so you never considered breast reduction?!?!?!?" This in no way sounds like a Professional consult or a Medical professional that he has become. He may be a top surgeon but has very little people skills.

Dr. Johnson has a great sense of humor that was essential to me during the time of my diagnosis and treatment. It made me feel comfortable and at ease.

When I found out I had breast cancer, I automatically went into the research mode as to the best hospital and surgeon within driving distance of Youngstown, Ohio. I wanted two opinions, but before I went for my first opinion I already made an appointment with Dr Johnson. My first opinion surgeon wanted to know who I was going to for the second opinion. I told him, and he said Dr Johnson is the surgeon who he would have sent me to. Then he said Dr. Johnson is the best. I agree!

After being referred to Dr. Johnson and having him as my surgeon, has been a blessing. Dr. Johnson performed a modified radical mastectomy (left breast) on 4/20/2012. I'm pleased with the surgery and his caring nature. His staff is very professional, and I couldn't be in better hands. Dr. Johnson in my opinion is the best in his field of expertise.

I went to Dr. Johnson after being diagnosed with breast cancer. Not only was Dr. Johnson thorough in his diagnosis, he had a sense of humor as well, which was very helpful during a stressful time. My surgery was scheduled and I was concerned about scaring after my breast lumpectomy. I was assured that it would be cosmetically pleasing. This is an understatement! He is a skilled surgical oncologist, but could easily have gone into plastics as well.

I liked Dr.Johnnson right from the start. he answered my questions even before i had a chance to ask them. Its ashame some of the other "team" doctors aren't as caring as he is. Wish he could see me thru my whole process with breast cancer...

Dr. Johnson has preformed on me 2 Lumpectomies, 1 Mastectomy, and 1 Axillery Node Dissection and I did not have to take one pain pill. His work is excellant and I reccomend him to everyone that needs a breast surgeon. I have full confidence in him and his work.
