Dr. Derek Sant Johnson, DO

3 years ago I walked 10 miles a day and other than my wife, that was the most important part of my life. I woke one day with excruciating pain in my knee. After an MRI he explained there is no logical reason for this phenomenon. When I asked if I can resolve it w/o surgery he said he knew of no one who has but some suggest regular walking in a pool might resolve it. I walked regularly for two years. Tremendous relief from pain but my knee still buckled out whenever I walked. I had a full knee replacement 3 months ago and I am already walking 5 miles a day. His attitude, sense of when he sees you that you are the only person he is seeing and tremendous skills (my scar is barely visible) are a testament to just some of the reasons to see him if you have knee issues. I thank him and his support staff for their time, patience and sensitivity to working with non-traditional patients. I am a 74 year old retired academic and set in my way. He taught this old dog some life-saving new tricks.

Dr. Derek Johnson has been more then just a life saver to me!! I was in a horrible accident and almost lost my foot. He was confident from day one that he can save my foot and I will walk again. Still on the road to recovery but couldn't be more blessed that he was there at the hospital that day and is now my doctor! Not too mention he has an amazing team of nurses and assistants that work with him including Janie my wound Vac nurse! I will forever be grateful to this medical team.

Dr. Johnson was the best during my recent surgery in Hawaii. I was on vacation and Dr. Johnson was very caring and understanding of my feelings and my injury. He repaired my knee and helped me thorugh a serious injury, I can never thank him enough for what he did.
