Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Very kind and thorough
Dr Johnson explained my options and was very thorough in his evaluation. He came highly recommended by another orthopedic surgeon who trusted him to perform surgery on him and his wife. I would recommend him.He has a good reputation and is a gentle soul who makes your feel comfortable.

I cut wrist in construction accident.
After doing an ultrasound, there was no evidence that the tendons or nerves were damaged. However Dr.Johnson gave me the option to do exploratory surgery. I chose to do the surgery. That was my 1st and only surgery at 43 years old. So it wasn't an easy decision to make. As a carpenter, I need both hands. Doctor Johnson was able to find cut tendons and nerves and reattach them. I am healing now. The surgery was yesterday. I have lots of pain today as expected. However, I am more optimistic that I will be able to use it again without issues. THANK YOU, DR.JOHNSON

Dr. Johnson is not only a top notch surgeon but combines his skill with a compassionate and kind concern for his patients. My visit was a great experience with clearly defined results of test and explanations of possible options for treatments. All in all an exceptional visit to an exceptional doctor.

initial visit with Dr. Johnson II
Very professional, dry (rawhide dry) sense of humour. I share his frustrations to no idea what is going on with my hands. However, he's the Dr, not me. Did he not read the referral? I'm thankful for the time he took looking at my hands/digits but, a bit of a sense of humour goes a long way with me. I'm hoping he will be able to figure the problem out. This has been going on for over a year. Would I recommend him? Too soon to say.

I saw Dr. Johnson for thumb and wrist pain that persisted for over a month. He quickly diagnosed the problem and offered several options. He explained everything in detail. I am now completely pain free. I highly recommend him.

Never saw the doctor
I’m experiencing extreme pain and from what I is most likely capital tunnel. I had to wait a week to see the doctor since they were off for spring break. When I finally got my appointment I didn’t even see the doctor just his PA. She did examine and and prescribe some steroids to help but that’s it. Never saw the doctor to discuss plans of action and what he would do if the ENG test came back postive/bad. It was going to be a longer wait for their in-house to test me than it was from the place the walk in clinic sent me to. I expected more from this practice once of their doctors replace my hips help fix my knee and is a god send I love him and saw him the first time not the PA.

The staff and the Professionalism of everyone was very much Appreciated, Dr Johnson looked at my X-rays and gave me the options of what I would like to be done next, I am new to Indiana and back in Pa Drs wouldn't have laid it out that way, it's there way, Thank you so much. Hopefully with MRI we will know more.

Had a recent visit with Dr. Johnson at Tri State Orthopedics, and he took the time to explain the difference between an x-ray vrs an ultrasound, and why the ultrasound imaging what confirm his diagnosis with better clarity. He seems to be a superlative hand specialist whom I would gladly refer anyone to.
