Dr Johnston is very personable and easy to talk to. He was patient with answering my many questions and explained things very clearly.

I could not have been more pleased with my experience with Dr Johnston. He showed concern and empathy over my issues and talked me through all the details and options for how to proceed. I really felt like he heard me and was not dismissive at all.

Dr. Johnston was so thorough in explaining CT Scan og my sinuses. I have not had anyone sit down and ask questions, listen to me as Dr Johnston did. Wish I could have him as primary physician. He seemed concerned about all that was happening with me. Would highly recommend him.

Dr. Johnston read my history beforehand. He said he had other patients with some of my same problems. While he didn't know of exact causes or cures that had been found, he did tell me some vitamins and other things that had worked for some of his other patients. He then sent me the links to order from Amazon. I am trying them and appreciate his help in trying to find some relief. He is a caring, knowledgeable doctor who I appreciate.
