Dr. Johnson had an emergency procedure to perform so his staff called me and asked if I wanted to come in and wait or reschedule my appointment.. I greatly appreciated the heads up instead of waiting for me to arrive and then I am forced wait. Also, Dr. Johnson is an excellent physician that listens to me and my concerns. He is able to explain my options in plain language that non-medical people can understand.
