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.

Just the best! Wish I would have found him sooner!
I tried to go to Dr Johnson for my first Hernia repair but my insurance did not cover it so I went another place that would, wrong choice! But for the grace of God I was able to for my second one. He is just so confident in his work and experience and it showed with the end result. IF I ever have to have another I will be at his doorstep the next time for sure. Bravo Dr Johnson!

Excellent medical care with compassion
My husband was referred to Dr.Johnson by one of our family members. During the initial office visit we found him to be knowledgeable and experienced in his field. He made sure we understood all of his explanations and we then agreed to surgery. His office staff was fabulous-from nursing to business office they were kind and thorough. The outpatient surgery center was just as well run ,skilled in their craft and made their patients feel important and heard. Dr Johnson spoke with us before and after surgery. His office nurse Heather was always available for our questions. A big thank you to all of you.

Veins Be Gone!
Dr Johnson's practice for Greater Safenous reflux, incompetent veinous valves, chronic venous insufficiency, varicose veins is outstanding! What a relief! I had 7 out of 10 calf pain that kept me up at night. Dr Johnson's team work in collaboration to present the best outcomes. I choose VenaSeal and Varithena. My insurance guided the treatment time lines. The staff coordinates the sessions. Dr. Johnson is a pleasure to work with. He treated me with personable care and attention. Listened to my questions and concerns. His explanations are informative and thorough.I am so grateful to have found Dr. Johnson's practice. I know you will be too!

I used Dr. Johnson for a few things. He has always been a straight shooter. Very clear on what was to be done. Patiently answered questions. Also, very skilled at what he does. Would not hesitate and have recommended him to others.

Wonderful Doctor!
I have been seeing Dr. Johnson for 16yrs. By far, the very BEST General and Bariatric doctor out there. His compassion, empathy and understanding for his patients is 2nd to none. He takes time, truly listens and has a genuine interest in his patients needs. He will make recommendations that will produce the best outcome based on your issues. I will always trust his judgement and highly recommend allowing him to care for you.

Initial visit, with consultation and scans. .
Dr Johnson and the staff provided in-depth explanations, from start to finish. I especially liked how the staff checked insurance specifics, prior to scheduling my appointment. There was no pressure to make any immediate decisions. My son is also a patient and he referred me to Dr. Johnson. I am very glad he did.

No BS
Dr Johnson says it like it is. He will answer your questions and never sugar coats it. The group is fantastic. Mallory, the dietitian, is quick to respond back. Extremely helpful and has plenty of advice and suggestions. Heather, his nurse, would always call and check up on me when I had concerns. Could not have been more pleased to go through this journey with them all.

Awesome doctor!!!!
Dr. Johnson is awesome and his beside manners are awesome I contacted him 3 years ago for surgery but my insurance didn't cover it. They kept in touch and I got a different job that covered it. Dr Johnson did my surgery in October 2023 and it was the best decision I could have ever made. I love the f/u with him and his nurse and the nutritionist. I love this practice. Everyone is so nice and understanding and clean.

I came to Dr. Johnson after feeling very uncomfortable with a vein consultation from another practice. Dr. Johnson and his staff made me feel very confident and informed about my procedures.
