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.

I had surgery on my foot, after surgery my foot had burning pain which has never gone away. When I told the doctor all he told me was it couldn’t be anything he did. I will probably have this problem the rest of my life because of this guys incompetence. Stay away from this doctor!

This is actually an update of an earlier post. I posted the other one after my first visit with Dr. Johnston. He sounds as though he knows what he's doing and talks the good talk. However, I found that he doesn't have a clue as to what he's doing. He lied to me about the procedure, didn't do what he said he'd do and left me with an even larger problem than I started with. 19 months later, I now have an even deeper ulcer that is affecting my daily life and ability to get around. Steer Clear!!

I went in for what was suppose to be a simple procedure and it ended up being the biggest nightmare of my life!!!! I will more than likely suffer with foot pain the rest of my life because of his incompetence. He's a very smooth talker but that's all he's good at!!

Very unhappy with Dr. Johnston and the entire experience of going there. Absolutely zero help, and worse yet due to delays in proper treatment, and not doing correct tests in the first place, (seeing a different physician now) my condition is worse. Wouldn't recommend to anyone.
