Dr. Jolene Kay Johnson, MD

Dr. Johnson is a great doctor, but her office staff has been difficult to deal with. However, the staff is better, of late. Not easy to get an appointment with the doctor and there are times I dread contact with the staff. I hope they continue to improve.

Dr. Jolene Johnson is one of the most caring doctors I've ever visited. She made me feel very comfortable and took great effort to explain results to me. Her patient care manner is phenomenal.

Dr Johnson is a rare and hard to find kind of doctor she is very thorough and she will never give up until she finds an answer. I am so blessed to have found her.

I was referred to Dr. johnson by my EKL primary care doc for thyroid, high fasting glucose,etc. I explained my long list of symptoms and asked her to check my hormones. She was extremely rude and condescending, and refused to check my levels. She increased the dose of Synthroid, which hasn't relieved symptoms for the past 3 years. After almost a year of thinking I must be nuts, I saw Dr. Billy May, a private practice doctor, who diagnosed and treated my PREMATURE OVARIAN FAILURE! I wasnt a hypochondriac. I had almost no hormones,and that caused all of my symptoms. Dr. Johnson dropped the ball. She may be wonderful to her PAYING private practice patients, but she treats medicaid patients like we are ignorant and a bother. She is demeaning to the nurses as well- I may not pay her out of my own pocket, but she is PAID by my tax dollars! She needs to retire and let someone with people skills help those at EKL.

Have been going to Dr. Johnson for quite a while (years). I had my thyroid removed and just never felt "right". She is the third doctor that I have gone to for my thyroid condition. It took me a while to find one that I could relate to and that took the time to find out how I felt on the meds. So glad I found her.

I have been a patient of Dr. Johnson for 9 years. I had my Thyroid surgically removed due to Graves disease. She has been willing to spend time with me, to listen to all of my concerns, given me wonderful feedback and has been willing to try different approaches to my condition. After a long time on Synthyroid and still not feeling 100%, she suggested adding T3 and it made all the difference in the world. She's hard to get an appointment with if you are a new patient, but I wouldn't change her for anything.

Dr. Johnson is "old school" and pushes Synthroid. She will have no part of using T3, even though it has finally helped! She follows the numbers of test ranges, but does not treat the person. If you still have symptoms, it must be from something else. She is harsh, abrupt, and lacks any compassion or empathty. If I had known that she is rude and condecending, I would never have waited 2 hrs to see her. don't waste your time or money!!!!!!!

I never feel rushed or ignored when I see Dr. Johnson. She always takes the time to ask questions about my condition and actually considers my input when assessing any changes. Even when diagnosing an upsetting condition, she made me feel very calm and she is always happy to answer my questions.

Dr. Johnson agreed to see me when I was first diagnosed with diabetes. I knew very little about what to expect, but her knowledge of the situation, caring attitude and sense of humor put my mind at ease and enabled me to tackle this new challenge with confidence and optimism. Simply put, I have never had such a positive experience with any other doctor in my lifetime.
