Dr Johnston did a great job at answering my son's questions and explaining everything to him. Dr Johnston goes above and beyond by always being available after hours and on weekends. PLHS is lucky to have him.

Though my issue was pretty minor, Dr. Johnston took interest in my concerns and explained things well and what the plan will be if things didn't get better within the next 7-10 days.

Dr Johnston is so wonderful. He listens and you can tell he cares. He also made sure and called us with results so we didn't need to wait over the weekend. I highly recommend him to anyone that has knee injuries especially sports related.

Dr Johnston is one of the best. Anyone who thinks they have to go to Sioux Falls for orthopedic surgeries is just plain wrong. You can get great care right in Watertown.

Dr. Johnson's first thought after seeing my son's x-rays was that he may not need casting he examined my son's arm and realized the pain my son was experiencing he decided to cast it to give it more healing time. I was very happy with the thorough examination to make sure what the right decision would be and went by my son's level of pain. He took my son into consideration.

Had a hip problem and went to see Dr Johnston. His office set up total hip replacement surgery, pre-op and post-op so efficently and made the process very easy. Surgery was great and I would recommend HIM to anyone looking at hip surgery.
