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.

He is straight up with you and shows you the damage and tell you what you need done. He's friendly and smart. I'm glad he worked on my neck putting in a cage and fixing my lower back. I can now walk again.

Dr. Johnson has done back surgeries on both my husband and me. Good surgeon. I highly recommend him. Note: I answered the opinions below without knowing what I was doing, and the computer wouldn’t let me correct once I realized my mistake. I have no complaints.

This so called Dr. lied to me and did not do what he said he was going to do during surgery. His lack of knowledge cost me a year and a half of my life. And led to another surgery to correct his mistakes. Please do not trust him!!! It took s16 hour surgery to get my life back. He needs to retire before he hurts anyone else.

While Dr. Johnson is good surgeon, he is terrible at follow up visits. Spends no time with you. Doesn't give you a straight answer. Actually he doesn't give you a chance to get a word in while he talking and walking out the door.

I have been seeing doctor Johnson for years and consider him to be the best in his field. Explains everything to where you can easily understand and is so very nice to have as my Doctor. He has been such a great help to me through my procedures and I trust him to the fullest.
