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.

Billing is a complete mess
Trying to deal with office staff and mediate between insurance and office staff is a complete nightmare. They are not able to provide proper documentation to support the invoice or claim. I have never had such a difficult experience dealing with a healthcare provider's office in my entire life.

My visit to Dr Johnson's Office for my colonoscopy couldn't have been easier or more effortless. From start to finish(check in to prep to procedure to recovery) everything went smoothly! Everyone I dealt with was courteous, knowledgeable, professional and kind. I couldn't speak more highly of any of them and would recommend them to anyone without hesitation.

I can’t say enough about Dr. Johnson. From my initial virtual meeting with her through my procedure, she made me feel very comfortable and cared for and assisted me in making informed decisions. I would HIGHLY recommend her and the team at the Glen Endoscopy Center in Glenview.

I had a colonoscopy today with Dr. Johnson at the Glen Endoscopy Center. My experience was top-notch. To the front desk receptionist, to the nurses and, most importantly, to Dr. Johnson, I sing high praise. I was treated with care and kindness. I would recommend this highly professional practice to all who need this common procedure and any other G. I. issues.

I had a colonoscopy and endoscopy with Dr. Johnson. She is excellent - professional, kind, and VERY thorough. I gave her a list of questions and she wrote down all of the answers in addition to telling me so that I would have the information when I got home. I also received a detailed report from her office. It was more specific than reports I'd received from others other the past 20 years! She discovered ulcers, prescribed meds and in a followup last week found they were healed.

×Post a ResponseAre you Dr. Johnson?
Whereas she may be good in the operating room, how she handles the business end is abysmal. Since she only accepts insurance from one carrier, she is out of network for most people. Her office refused to accept multiple offers from our carrier to reduce her rack rate to a more reasonable level. During this time, her office continued to treat us as if we were delinquent and threatened to send our bill to a collection agency - even after receiving payment for a majority of the bill.

Dr. Johnson provided calming reassurance to my family during the test. She answered my questions and gave me copies of my test. Receiving immediate feedback after my test was very helpful and comforting. I thoroughly trust her knowledge and opinion.
