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.

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!
