I thought the experience with Dr. Johnson and her staff was extremely positive. I would recommend anyone who needs cardio assistance and a physician to get a hold of Dr. Johnson. Excellent job, excellent doctor. I have no complaints whatsoever. She was terrific. Thank you.

Jan 27, 2025

Very professional & listened to me. She explained everything in layman's terms so I understood. Very personable & it was a pleasure to meet her.

Jan 27, 2025

Good communication

Jan 21, 2025

I think that my provider, Ms. Johnson, take care of me like she would take care of herself. I had a surgery, as you know, so my enunciation is not clear enough. I said and I repeated, Ms. Johnson would take care of me like she would take care of herself. I feel so comfortable when she explains and she gives me advice and she suggests things that I should do, should not do. It's not that she insists on me, no, she suggested suggestion is when I ask a question, she answers all the questions. So I'm very happy with that.

I felt very comfortable with the Dr explaining my situation
