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.

Perfect provider!
It's like Fort Knox trying to get an appointment with Dr. Johnson. However, she is a delight. Her bedside manner is outstanding, as she is charming and down to earth, and she is very thorough in her explanation. She really knows feet! Highly recommend!

Awesome doctor! The front desk was very hectic, but they were also polite, professional & efficient. Once I got called back, it was a very smooth process to get through x-rays and see Julie. I've been struggling with an injury for 11 months and 3 other doctors couldn't find anything wrong. Julie reviewed the imaging I provided from the other doctors and immediately identified the problem and offered me treatment options. Although I'm not excited about surgery and a 2 month recovery, I'm VERY excited to get back to jogging, hiking & skiing. It's so relieving to have a professional experience and a true diagnosis. Highly recommend!

Was approx 30 minutes early for a 3:00 PM appointment for a fractured ankle bone situation. Many other patients went into and out of treatment rooms for the next hour. My name was never called. Nor did Dr’s staff give us any idea when we would be seen. I departed at 3:32 PM. Staff still had no idea when I would be seen. Never did see Dr or her PA’s

I have been seeing Dr. Johnson and her staff for a few years. Everytime I go in the front desk is so professional and polite. It really gives you confidence and relaxes your anxiety. I saw Hannah Glenn, PA today 5/4/2020. She is great and knew exactly what my problem was and how I should proceed. Thank You.
