5 stars by 30+ patients
“My visit with Dr. Johnson felt like I was catching up with an old friend ... who happened to just be shaving a callous off my foot. He was so kind and easy to talk to and he quickly fixed a problem on my foot that had been hurting for a year and gave me advice on how to avoid it happening again. I was able to get in quickly and the front desk staff was super nice as well. I highly recommend Dr. Johnson!”
