    Dr. Johnson is the first podiatrist to really explain what might be the condition of my toes; he has a very professional, yet approachable, manner.

    I liked Dr. Johnson but the more I think about it, he seemed to be talking down to me ( which sounds funny since I am 4" 10" and he is a giant). I have also had more toe pain than ever had before. Left toe where it started bleeding he did not use any medication and it STILL looks black from dried blood. When I use peroxide on the toe it still bubbles. When I asked about getting shoes from Medicare he asked if I am diabetic which tells me that he did not look at all the medical information I gave to the office. I am 86 years old, have heart desease, diabetic, Barrets desease, arthritis, etc. I'm also concerned about my doctor not being available any day but Friday. I wanted to ask him about that black spot but knew he wasn't available. I might try one of the other doctors but they also are only there one or 2 days a week. Hmmmm!

    I was a previous Dr. Pengh patient and was highly disappointed I had to ‘start over.’ Dr. Johnson put me at ease right away. Kindly & patiently answered all my questions. Jessica has been helpful in getting what documents I needed to get my LOA started at work. I’ve already given Dr. Johnson’s contact info to a colleague. I deeply appreciated there quick help and flexibility in getting my surgery scheduled so it won’t interfere with our upcoming trip.

He kindly & patiently answered all my questions, giving me the needed confidence to proceed with the surgery. I deeply appreciated their quick help and flexibility in getting my surgery scheduled so recovery will not interfere with our upcoming summer plans.

Thank you so much for excellent customer service!

    This was my first visit with Dr Johnson. I’m most grateful to have his help on a recent problem which wasn’t what my appointment was for. He’s very attentive and listens. Thank you so much, Dr Johnson!

    The entire experience was great. Very short wait in the waiting room. Dr Johnson gave me things on the spot that have really taken my foot pain away.
    I have already recommended him!

    Everything was fine about the appointment. The doctor was nice and respectful, which doesn’t always happen at Dr. appointments. He addressed my concerns. He explained things in a clear and easy to understand manner. I haven’t used the prescribed medication yet as I am concerned about side effects, but that has nothing to do with the quality of care I received at the appointment. I believe my mother is going to him at his new location pretty soon for her medi-care toenail cutting. Best, Cecily

    This is a very efficient, friendly, and upbeat office. The waiting time is low and I always enjoy the nurse that’s working there. The doctor was informative, knowledgeable, and took good care of me while he explained everything. I would highly recommend them.

    Dr.Johnson knows the biomechanics like no other podiatrist. He is on another level. He watched me walk and told me information and was right on the mark. He loves his job. If you need orthodics, this is your doctor! I am certain he is an excellent surgeon. He really listened to me as well. Absolutely excellent.

    I have had orthotics fitted by two other doctors prior to Dr. Johnson. His orthotics have given me the best fit and reduced the pain from walking on arthritic knees.

    I was very happy with my treatment. I've been to orthopedic doctors for other reasons and was given scant information and rushed through my appointments. Podiatrist Dr. Johnson took the time to show me the x-rays and explain everything thoroughly. He came up with a 5-point plan to address my ankle/foot pain that didn't involve surgery or cortisone (the seemingly routine prescription from orthopedic doctors) and now I am on my way to being pain free. I rate him 10 out of 10!
