I look at life before Dr. Johnson and after. He botched my surgery and I’m his mind he is perfect and doesn’t make mistakes. So he was angry at me it felt like. Did not fix my problem and caused injury. He is an “expert witness” for major law firms so be warned…that is a conflict of interest for a strong firm to take you on. He has covered himself on all levels. He waited to tell me he made a mistake after everyone had left the floor of the practice in case I reacted loudly. His ego is all that matters. Left me alone on a dark empty floor after waiting four hours in a windowless room.

Unfortunately, the surgery had little effect on my symptoms. Another surgery is proposed (it would be my third), however I lack confidence in the diagnosis.
