This doctor is incompetent. This man does not care for his patient outcome . He is only concerned about the money they generate for him.

I would recommend Dr. Johnson to anyone in need of mental health assistance. He saved my life. I will NEVER go to another psychiatrist.

I have family members who have gone to Dr. Johnson for years without any positive results. They must like his laid-back attitude and won't go somewhere else even though their mental conditions have caused and are continuing to cause them severe problems as well as permeating the rest of the family. Don't waste your time- find a real psychiatrist who cares.

Dr. Johnson was such a kind and caring doctor who was very attentive to my concerns during a very difficult time in my life. He validated me as a human being and never pacified me. He reminded me that I was a worthy human being.

Dr Spencer F Johnson is my family doctor who cares for me, my son and granddaughter. He a wonderful doctor, we have been treated by him over 10 years. He also a good heart man who cares deeply for his patients.

My overall experience with Dr. Johnson has been great! He has a lot of compassion and is willing to take extra time if I need it.

Dr. Johnson spends less than fifteen minutes with patients each visits (including the initial visit). He makes drastic changes to medications without considering the side effects on the patient. He does not return calls between appointments...said it's not a real emergency if the person is not dying and if they are, call 911. He claims he will respond faster to text messages. The bottom line is, Dr. Johnson is unprofessional and insensitive.
