Dr Johnson is an excellent doctor. He takes his time with his patients and doesn’t rush them into having a procedure that isn’t needed right away. He tried another shot on my shoulder even though it has a partial tear but will see if the injection will work for me for the next two weeks if not then we will consider laparoscopic surgery to repair the tear. Would go to and one else. Best bed side manners. Keep it up Dr Johnson
