My husband and I are both patients of Dr. Johnson and have been very happy with him as our doctor. Every visit has been a pleasant experience. We find him to be very knowledgeable and professional. We wouldn’t think of going to anyone else.

After an abnormal CT scan I made an appointment with this Dr. I saw some poor reviews but decided to go ahead with him because I was worried and I could get in to see him within a few days. HUGE MISTAKE! Right before my procedure he stated that he had not read my CT scan because it was not in the system, and asked me where the abnormality was!!??? Long story short, he was confrontational, argumentative and arrogant. I wish I had waited anther week to see one of the more reputable Drs in this group. Save yourself some grief and DO NOT use this Dr.

In my own experience with him being my husnand's doctor My experience was horrible! Most Uncaring doctor I have ever met. Showed no compassion. I would never recommend him to anyone. My husband Passed away in Dec. never saw him once in hospital. Sent his partners.

I finally had to change doctors, every time I went I was someone he had NEVER seen before! Nurse great personality but very inefficient, I had to be my own record keeper for blood work that had to be done on regular basis. Had no confidence in this doctor. Would not recommend him to my worst enemy.

He staff at Dr. Lawrence's is courteous and nice and seem to care when it comes to patients. Dr. Lawrence however, is a different story. His attitude, character and demeanor display uninterest and unbelief when it comes to patients. You try to explain things to gim and he basically blows you off as if you have no idea what yu are talking about. After finally getting a referal off base for a problem lasting about a year (military doctors are a different tale of pain in itself) he literally just wants to give me increased doses of nexium and miralax...awesome...I could have done that myself...this guy really seems to just blow me off...I wish he would just take me serious...
