Dr Johnson is very good at listening to what you are saying and is extremely good at explaining his diagnosis
Information and interaction with the Surgeon that I had
He explained everything and used visuals. He took time to k ow his patient and listen to what they had to say . He actually went above and beyond to find help for a different problem that no other doctor has done.
