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.

I've been seeing Mary for 15 years and extremely happy with her. I love her personality and she cares !!!

The Doctor is logical and no-nonsense. If that's what you mean by having "no bedside Manner". I happen to really like her approach. I don't need a "lollipop" I need the truth. I'm pleased to have her as my Doctor.

This is my first visit and I am comfortable with Dr. Johnston. She laid down options for me and is proactive with helping me get the diagnosis and treatment I need by referring me to Endocrinology. She is open to questions and concerns, and ensured I am helped with my symptom before sending me out for a referral.

I was due for my 20 week anatomy scan. I came from 2 hrs away & got caught in unexpected traffic half way there. My apt was at 7pm & I arrived at 7:15pm, but she was still seeing a 6:40pm patient so either way I would've had to wait to be seen. She turned us away. My partner & I were so frustrated because we just wanted to know if our baby was OK, it’s our first child so we don’t know what to expect. I returned home unsure when/where I'd be able to get an apt. Worst experience ever.

She is not personable and her bedside manner is horrible. I would not recommend anyone I care about to see her. If she is the only doctor available when I need to make a sick appointment, I do not make an appointment as being sick is better than being her patient.
