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.

Used to love her as a doctor, last couple years no
She used to be a great doctor and always listened and took you seriously. Recently she has changed, brushes off anything you bring off and blames it on weight. This resulted in me being hospitalized for a bone infection after asking for treatment MULTIPLE times because I knew I was sick (and no losing 5 pounds wasn't going to help that). Completely lost my trust and to make it worse after missing how sick I was for months there was no apology just another snarky comment.

Trust her 100%
I have used Dr. Johnson for a very long time. She is always concerned for my health,and it shows. She is always available, co ordinates what it is I need and tries her darnedest to keep me healthy. She worked very hard for me to become a non smoker, for this I am forever grateful. Her quiet manner , and intelligence always reassures me . She is a great Dr.

Awful women at the front desk when I called... told me she might take me as a new patient when this is all over.. awful customer service. She was rude and acted as if I was bothering her. Note to self get yourself a new receptionist who actually values the patient!

I've been going to Dr Johnson for years. Staff is good, there is a phlebotomist on site so you don't have to go to another building to get labs. Very friendly and non judgemental.
