I had shoulder pain for two years and wondered if I had a torn rotor cuff but just kept taking cortisone shots. Finally, I had an MRI done and Dr. Johnson saw a tear in my cuff when the technicians did not. He has a very friendly, informative bedside manner. The surgery went well and my shoulder is great to this day. I would highly recommend him to anyone that needs joint surgery!

My shoulder has never been better. I was in horrible pain and was told that I would have to go to Omaha. Dr. Johnson replaced my shoulder and I have no pain. I have full use of my shoulder. I would definitely recommend Dr. Johnson
