Went in for a consult for hernia surgery - luckily, hadn't eaten that morning - actually had surgery that afternoon! Worked out great since we were in from out of town. Saved us a return visit. Dr. Johnson was great!

A good consultation - questions answered - Dr. Johnson was not quick to encourage surgery, but to be watchful.

Dr Johnson was very concern for me. Took his time and explained everything so I could understand. I am very luck to have Dr Johnson as my surgeon. I would recommend him to my family and friends!!!
