Dr. Johnston was so thorough in explaining CT Scan og my sinuses. I have not had anyone sit down and ask questions, listen to me as Dr Johnston did. Wish I could have him as primary physician. He seemed concerned about all that was happening with me. Would highly recommend him.

Dr.Johnson was amazing! His personality alone was infectious and fun. He took all of my concerns seriously and offered good solutions and advice based on the hearing eval results and his experience. And big shout out to Catherine who was so kind and knowledgeable during my hearing eval. She mad me feel comfortable and explained every test and the reasons each time.
