Patient Reviews
Oct 11, 2025
Dr. JOHNSON’s staff first had several xrays taken of my right elbow and arm. So when he came in to see me he had them. He was very clear and distinct about what he said my issue was on my right elbow. He made my day when surgery on it was not needed. He provided advice on what I should do. We left his office with very large smiles and so very very glad I saw him.
