5 out of 5 stars

Dr. Johnson had reviewed my chart prior to our visit. She did a thorough exam. She gave a full explanation of the surgery I will need and had a tentative plan based on her colleagues who would need to be involved. I received a message within two days about the next step. I was so impressed with Dr. Johnson and the office staff.

Dr. Johnson put me at ease from the beginning. She explained things thoroughly and in a way I understood. She talked about next steps and allayed my concerns about possible upcoming surgery. She's the kind of physician everyone wishes they had.

5 out of 5 stars

First of all, I was impressed by the nurse, Patricia, who guided me to the proper surgeon for my needs. I was greatly impressed with Dr. Johnson as she had reviewed my, somewhat lengthy, medical record so she knew my purpose and my prior preparations for the appointment. She was thorough and gentle in her exam. She spent a great deal of time with me regarding the exam, her thoughts as well as an explanation of the surgery itself. She had a surgical plan in mind, and assured me that she would get back to me the following week with the concrete plan after speaking with her colleagues. She was kind, considerate, and easy to talk to.
