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.

Dr Johnson saved my life
One year ago, Dr Johnson installed an AV shunt and he saved my life. He listened with compassion and he understood what was happening to me, When so many other doctors dismissed me. Thank you, Dr Johnson

Dr Johnson cared for my Mom several years back while she had NPH, During the course of caring for her she had several setbacks which required immediate attention. Dr Johnson was always there whether it was to perform an emergency operation or general care. He was so attentive and caring taking the time to listen.

Dr. Johnson is the best doctor I have ever had period. I had two brain surgeries and I wouldn't want anyone other than Dr Johnson. The wait times have been a little long but once you meet Dr Johnson you will understand why. He is very thorough and spends the extra time necessary answering any questions.

After over a year of discomfort after a shunt revision, I got a second opinion and found out that I had pressure 3 times higher than it should have been. I needed more work done to help me. Dr. Johnson didn't want to listen!

Dr Johnson, thank you soooo much for listening to my laments about my continued sleepiness! Since my visit with you on Thursday, Feb 18, this is truly a new level of awakedness that I have not known in my entire life! I am so glad my PCP directed me to you. Thanks again! Gratefully, Paul Riley.
