Dr Johnston was very personable and I felt at ease. He never rushed, he listened well, explained things, answered all my questions, and was very respectful and caring. I appreciate his help very much. Thank you!

Dr. Johnston is a wonderful physician and a delight to talk to. He explains things very well and makes sure that I am comfortable with the decisions we make.

One of the best doctors I've ever seen. Very impressed. Knew exactly what I was talking about and answered all questions decisively and to the point. I learned more in this one appointment than I have with some providers multiple appointments . Wish every provider the same. It would educate patients, save time, worry, money and get to diagnosis and treatment.

Dr entered the room and the first thing he said was I am a surgeon. That turned me off as I was coming to see an ENT doctor and not just a Surgeon. He used terms that I did not understand and he talked with my sister and not with me. I do not think I can call him as I think his response would be, You need surgery as I am a surgeon.
