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.

in pain for over a week with daily calls unanswer
Been going to this doctor for a long time now and been a steady decline. Office never calls back. Just bad front office. The doctor talks over you and doesn't listen to my concerns.

Dr. Sarah Johnson was absolutely the most unfriendly, unhelpful doctor I've been to. She has 0 bedside manners. She is rude and was very short with all that I asked her about my Arthritis. I am 84 years old and her only answer to why I have all the pain is that its old age and there is nothing that can be done about it. She was so abrupt and cut me off when I would ask questions. I wouldnt recommend her if my life depended on it!!!!! HORRIBLE!!! I found a Dr that did help me even at 84!!!

If I could give zero stars I would. The office does not answer the phone, good luck ever getting blood work back from them, you will have to physically show up or call the emergency line to speak to a human being. The doctor was rude and basically yelling at me, when I've been sick for months and months undiagnosed. You would think she would have compassion for patients in this situation. Run from this office find someone else!

I have been a patient of Dr. Johnson for 19 years. At age 40, Dr. Johnson, within 2 visit was able to tell me I had Scleroderma ( a rare disease) after I had been to several other Rheumatologist that couldn't figure it out. I trust her medical intelligence, her ability to investigate any new treatments that are offered out there and make sure they are right for me. Dr. Johnson is a brilliant doctor. Thanks Dr. Johnson for being the only Doctor I trust my life to. I highly recommend Dr. Johnson.
