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.

A Truly Gifted Physician
Dr. Johnson performed mohs surgery on the right cheek of my face below my right eye. Several years later is impossible to see where this large section of skin was removed and stitched up.

She may be very knowledgeable. I was in the exam room with an 86 year old person. Dr Johnson was examining his skin. Without a word, she reaches down, grabs a can of nitrogen, & starts spraying his face, temples, & scalp. I mean LITERALLY without one word to either of us. Totally inappropriate. Especially since she has previously done procedures on this gentleman, and has been told (by his daughter) not to do any more without her consent. I appreciate her interest in performing treatments. But when you do it without asking, you either have very bad people skills, or are purposely running up the bill. She has also previously prescribed very expensive ointments, that were not needed. As I say, she may be VERY knowledgeable, and just assumes that treatments should be as thorough as SHE thinks are needed.

Exceptional Doctor, Professional yet Personable...
Dr. Johnson and her staff (i.e., Assistant Anastasia Oldham and "Debbie" at the front desk) were exceptional in making my visit - the removal of cancerous lumps on my face and back - stressless and pain-free. Dr. Johnson explained the procedure and post-treatment thoroughly, patiently, and in plain English and with genuine compassion and concern for my well-being...

Dr Johnson is a brilliant surgeon
I've seen Dr Johnson twice for MOHS surgery, most recently on Monday for MOHS surgery on a squamous cell cancer on my right cheek. Just like the first time, she got all the cancerous cells in two sessions. The first MOHS surgery was on my lip. She is friendly, professional, and cares about her patients' comfort and welfare. She explained everything and made sure I understood what was going on. I trust her completely.

Dr. Johnson is my go-to for skin checks. She caught an early-stage carcinoma and treated it easily. I am forever grateful for her knowledge and expertise. I would refer Dr. Johnson to any friends and family. You are in excellent care with her.

Dr. Darlene is one of the smartest, most intuitive and caring doctors in any specialty. She is forward-thinking, an expert at surgery and explains difficult medical terms in an understandable manner. Definitely recommend! Referred my parents to her as well and they had an excellent experience as well.

Highly Recommend Dr . Darlene Johnson!
I have been a patient of Dr. Johnson's for more than a decade. She is extremely professional, knowledgeable and has an amazing skill set re: the early detection of the various forms of skin cancers, and the successful treatment of skin cancers! She's a Mohs Surgeon who is caring and compassionate! She also has a good sense of humor, which is much appreciated.

Kelly in Denver, CO – Sep 22, 2017

Very painful and I think unnecessarily so. She didn't wait the necessary time for the anesthetic to take effect before cutting on my lower eyelid. When my wife asked for advice about post-operative pain control, we were told that the doctor had already moved onto the next patient. Later, she did return but still refused pain medication to be taken home for the next day or two. Seems very competent but has an extremely cold bedside manner.
