Report
Dr Johnson performed two decompression back surgeries over a span of six months. It was a difficult to diagnose problem that was completely debilitating. I couldn't stand, walk, or lay prone without pain. Once the reason for my pain was located and surgery took place, the relief was immediate. Martha was key in explaining where and why the pain was occuring and making sure I understood my options. In addition, she explained honestly the chance of success in relieving my pain. She answered all of my questions thoroughly and honestly. The care I received was exceptional throughout the process.

Dr. Johnson and his team responded quickly and diligently to a herniated disk problem that was giving a great amount of pain. He explained very well his plan to take care of the herniation, possible risks, and what to expect post-op. Good communicator.

Martha is great. Lots of information and details explained. It was great to see her the day of surgery in the hospital. I liked Dr. Johnson the first time I met him as his approach was one of what can I really do for you. That was greatly appreciated and I am glad I went for the surgery.
