I had Dr. Johnson for an endoscopy on 7/25/25 - a 5 star rating is not high enough. Very nice, pleasant and professional. Relates very well to the patient. I have complete confidence in his ability and diagnosis.

Dr. Johnson is amazing! He made sure I understood everything and took the time really talk to me instead of rushing to next patient. He also has a very kind bedside manner. His outlook was so optimistic it made me forget my fears and focus on a positive outcome as well. I can never thank him enough for that. Would HIGHLY recommend him to everyone!!!

Dr Eric Johnson and GI Associates Endoscopy staff Michelle, Ryan, Steve and Tania made my experience so easy! I was nervous since I had never been sedated before and they made feel so comfortable. It was so quick and painless even the IV was painless(thanks Michelle). Would 110% recommend GI Associates for your Digestive concerns or if you’re 45 or older for a colonoscopy!
