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.

The very best doctor and gentleman!!!

I still consider him as Both ,even after our having left the State numerous years ago .My advice one can't find a better Physician or Friend as you're in Great hands either way .

The good reviews above are not good enough to describe what a truly beautiful person and exceptional doctor “Doc J” is. He has cared for my wife and me for over 20 years. I’m not exaggerating when I say that he has saved my life. As an aside, that lifesaving care was more than once. I’m indebted to him for his care, his knowledge, his skills, and his friendship. I’m in sorry shape, but he has helped both of us lead lives unburdened by health issues ranging from heart events (both of us), joint decay and damage, down to removal of splinters. When I wrote “care” above I don’t mean just application of medical care. He cares. My words are inadequate to thank him.

Dr. Johnson was my mother's and father's primary care physician for years until their deaths. My father died at age 93 in 2002. Dr. Johnson was down to earth, very helpful, and direct. He helped my sister and me understand the hows and whys of taking care of our father and he was patient with our dad who could be quite stubborn to say the least. And, besides, as I recall, he had rattlesnakes. I'm happy to see that Dr. Johnson is still active and taking patients.

I am 79 years old, have had many Doctors during my lifetime, and am currently living with a critical heart and COPD condition. Dr. Johnson has always gone well above and beyond care for me, not only saving my life, but doing everything in his power for me to continue living. Finding a doctor today who actually cares, is truly rare. If anyone ever wants to have the best medical care in the world, they need to be a patient of Dr Roy Johnson. Fred R.
