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.

Successful surgery
I have the highest regard for Dr. Johnson and his team. They helped me through a very difficult time. My surgery was a success thanks to Dr. Johnson and Bryce. I recommend him to anyone that needs specialty spine care, you are in the best hands!

Spine surgery consultation.
The office is very nice and the staff is top notch and very helpful and attentive. I met with Dr. Johnsons PA and he was great. I've had a few surgeries and this is the first time everything was explained to me and I feel like it's in my best interest. I wasn't hurried, was able to ask questions and feel very confident with everyone in his office. Thank you!

Excellent surgeon.
I saw Bryce Pace, PA. He compared my X-ray from 3 months ago and today’s. Showed me that it has fused. Suggested how much longer I should wear the bone-growth electrodes and what to include in my daily neck exercise. Will follow up in 6 months.

Dr. Johnson performed a spinal fusion on L4 – L5 for me a month ago. He has changed my life. I also have multiple sclerosis and I’ve had a previous spinal fusion. Regardless of those other giant issues, he was able to perform this fusion for me and give me my life back. I can’t thank him enough.

Dr. Johnson was recommended to me and I am sure I’ll pass on the referral to someone else whether I end up getting surgery or not.

Excellent Patient Care
Paul Johnson did a fusion surgery for me, and I haven't felt this good for years. He has been forthright and honest with me throughout the process. His Physicians assistant is a consummate professional who is extremely knowledgeable as well. I have felt respected and heard throughout the process. Thank you for giving me so many more years of life, everyone! Rob Christensen.

Follow up on surgery .
His assistant answered my questions barely well but I was a little disappointed that Dr. Johnson wasn't willing to come in and meet with me without me requesting it. I also didn't like that I had to wait 20 minutes to go in there to wait another 20 minutes. Surgery and recovery went well. Still have pain but has yet to be identified.

We felt confident in the diagnosis from Go!
Dr Johnson was very personal, professional, and knowledgeable. He was very informative about my son’s issues. And took the time to patiently answer all our questions.. There is no doubt in my mind that we will be taken care of by him.
