Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Great office visit
Timely, professional, courteous care from ALL staff members, including Dr. Johnson. He answered my questions and told me what to expect in the injection of my finger and what next steps to take, if symptoms recur. He gave me a clinic business card with a number to call if further treatment is necessary.I am a retired RN with 40 years experience, so I tend to be picky. This doctor and the rest of the staff did a superb job!

No manners rude
Dr. Johnson came in the room with an attitude. I injured my hand on Sept 11 went to emergency room had stitches placed was told to follow up with my primary care doctor in 7 to 10 days for stitches to be removed. On September 21 my stitches which should have been ready to come out ruptured and puss came out. I was in Ohio so came back went to the emergency room since it was the weekend and was placed on antibiotics was informed to see an orthopedic. Since I already had one I called them Monday and was seen. The surgeon at my orthopedic was out due to surgery for himself so I was referred by my orthopedic to Dr Johnson. Dr Johnson asked if my surgeon had both his hands cut off if not then he should still be able to perform surgery on me. He also asked why I waited so long to see a surgeon I tried explaining to him I did everything that I was told to do by the hospital and my pcp. He refused to do the surgery and told me I should just live with it being numb the rest of my life.
