When I called to schedule an appointment I learned my previous doctor had retired. So happy for him but not happy for me as I do not like changing doctors! However, I am so happy with Dr. Johnson and I know when it comes time for my knee surgery in the Fall I will be in good hands!

Dr Johnson did two total knee replacements for me within the past year. He did a great job on both knees without any problems. He seems to be very caring and a great bedside manner.

I have had to wait to have my knees replaced for 5 years, because of my insurance, and age. Doctor Johnson was always there when I needed him. Both knees were replaced this year and everything went great. Doctor Johnson and his staff made sure everything I need I got. I have recommended him to 5 people and they all have nothing but good thing to say about him, and the Staff. They listen and pay attention to your needs.

I had to literally order him to do a shoulder surgery for me, which he did, but didnt explain what happened afterwards, acts annoyed/surprised when i show up saying I have a lot of pain. refuses to give pain medication or explain what is causing my pain, spends 2 mins or less with me and keeps telling my to go physical therapy, which is terrible and does nothing, the therapists dont know what is causing the pain either. I was in tears in front of him because of pain, he just sat there and abruptly left, without helping me manage my pain. doesnt seem very compassionate

I have been a patient of Dr. Johnson's for several injuries and have been very satisfied. Surgeries were successful and the aftercare was great.

After missing 2 appointments due to other health issues, Dr Johnson glanced at the file and stated, the broken heel looked as good as could be expected at 4 weeks. The cast needed to remain on. I corrected him, it had been 8 weeks. He instructed to do weight bearing on it for a week, if no pain the cast could come off. Did he look at the chart, did he look at the X ray??!!
