He should never be allowed to practice medicine again.

Probably the best Dr. I have had. Tried very hard to find the root problem I have. When I wanted another test and it was warranted, he would get it for me and the complete biopsy record too.

Although he's a nice guy we have to think about the "patient" here. I don't mind no after hours availability but do have issues with an answering machine indicating a "48" hour call back time frame. I could not even get an appointment rescheduled and it's a 50/50 chance I will get a call back. RX refills can also be an issue.... Not to mention no up to date technology to view blood test levels. Seems so unorganized. I will stop there.

He has been my doctor for over 10 years and I love him. I was shocked to see the comments, because I have NEVER experienced any of the things I read. When I need an appointment I get one and I usual don't wait more than 10 minutes. I personally wouldn't want to go to a doctor who is at my beckoning call any time of the day, he has a life and a wife and children. His bed side manner was nothing, but professional. I'm not speaking for everyone, but I don't want to go to another doctor. I trust him totally. Anybody could be under investigation, he has never made me fill uncomfortable in anyway and takes his time with me, and if I have any questions or concerns he addressed them.

I would never let him treat my dog. He is under investigation by Little Rock Police Department for sexual assault of patients. He is a fraudulent person and doctor. Nothing more than a legalized drug dealer. Don't go to this doctor.

He doesn't appear to be interested in his patients or following through to make sure they are properly cared for. Unreachable and doesn't really LISTEN to his patient. Will never, ever go to him again and NEVER recommend him to anyone. He shouldn't be a doctor - very scary.

Dr Johns is absolutely unreachable after hours and does not participate in the medical exchange. Even during office hours calls are not returned. He bases patient care on his ability or inability to receive Medicare/Medicaid. All patients are directed to the ER after hours. No other options are available.

Staff is very unproffesional, front off ice is RUDE! Waited over 1 1/2 in waiting room, then another 45 minutes in room, all for a 10 minute visit. He is a GREAT DR. however, who has 3-4 hours for a Dr. visit?
