I felt like the doctor was patient with my difficulty getting connected to the appointment. He seemed to know right away the eye problem that I was experiencing. He prescribed an ointment that really helped my eye. I was so appreciative of being able to get an appointment the same day.

I travelled from NY to have surgery under Dr. Johnson's care and I'm so happy I did. Not only is Dr. Johnson a talented physician, he is also a kind and caring person who takes time to listen and offer carefully considered recommendations. From consultation to post-op I felt I was in excellent hands and received the highest quality care. I cannot thank Dr. Johnson, and his team, enough for their expertise and kindness.
