Dr. Brent Johnson, MD

Bring someone who is medically trained, I find Dr. Johnson’s expertise and direct manner a welcome and respectful presentation of my condition and the possible treatment, including expected outcome. Works for me!

I was sent there for a professional opinion and advice. He just made me feel like I was wasting his time. Kept asking me what I wanted him to say or do. He obviously didn't refresh his memory of my case ,because he didn't know where he sent me for physical therapy. He didn't read the notes from the therapist. It's almost like he thinks I'm faking my pain. Most unprofessional doctor that I've ever been to. Will never recommend him to anyone

I slipped on ice in January ‘23 and my local doctors couldn’t find anything wrong. I was referred to Dr. Johnson and within minutes on my first visit he knew what was wrong and ordered more imaging to see the extent of damage. New imaging showed a SLAP tear in my shoulder that would need to be surgically repaired. If it weren’t for Dr. Johnson and his knowledge I’d still be fighting pain and looking for answers. I 100% recommend Dr, Johnson and Midwest Orthopaedic.

Dr. Johnson was precise, took his time, explained the MRI and surgery. Once we were in the room we only waited a few minutes.

First visit to Dr. Johnson. He was very thorough & gave me options on treatment. No pressure for surgery but conservative treatment to apply first! Very nice & professional!

Dr Johnson has performed two shoulder surgeries on my right shoulder for a slap tear in the past year. One year later I can no longer raise my arm. I have severe numbness, burning, throbbing, sharp pains in my right bicep,elbow and palm now. Dr Johnson stated that he could not figure out what was wrong with me and referred me to see a doctor in Chicago. Midwest Orthopedic did not send my medical records and MRI images to the doctor in Chicago and now the Chicago doctor will not treat me because of Midwest Orthopedics mistake. It takes days for anyone of Dr Johnson's staff to call you back if you have a question or issue and that is after the switchboard operators will drill you with questions on your reason for calling. I would not recommend Dr. Johnson to anyone.

I was extremely pleased with my encounter with Dr. Johnson. He was very thorough, courteous, caring and thoughtful. I could not have asked for more from a physician.

Dr is friendly and caring. Had reverse shoulder replacement 10years ago. And regained nearly complete range of motion. Definitely impressed with his skill and bedside manner. His PA Ben is great also!

I can only give High marks for Dr Johnson’s surgery on a basically destroyed rotator cuff and bicep. From his surgery and Paige Stalter DPT therapy, I’m pretty much back to normal function. Thank you Midwest Orthopaedic

Never one to push surgery, he provided all options including a cortisone shot which is helping already!! Hopefully that combined with self PT will take care of the issue.

Dr. Johnson did my ACL reconstruction surgery. He is very thorough and took the time to answer all of my many questions. He gave me options and let me decide if I wanted surgery or not. He is an excellent surgeon and I would highly recommend him.

Dr. Johnson was outstanding. Before during and after I was very pleased with the care I received. World class.

Very nice, thorough and straight to the point. Answered all my questions and discussed my situation. I was early for my appointment got in and out very quickly but appropriately!

His assessment was thorough. He listened and expressed understanding of a complex ongoing issue with my shoulder.

He knows what he’s doing and doesn’t sugar coat it, he explains exactly what he going to attempt to do and I would strongly recommend him to anyone

Great experience with Dr Johnson, he repaired my daughters ACL, etc and he did an excellent job. He has a great bedside manner and he kept us very informed regarding the surgery and her recovery. The staff is very positive and helpful.
