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.

So grateful for excellent care!
I had surgery one month ago and feel fantastic! I have struggled with issues for years so the decision for surgery was long overdue.Dr. Johnson allowed me time to ask questions and share my concerns. Misty is fantastic and went above and beyond to work with our schedule. We traveled from another city to be seen by Dr.Johnson. I would, without hesitation HIGHLY recommend him. So grateful for the excellent care I received!

Excellent Appointment
We had over a month wait time just to see other doctors after they saw my wife’s ultrasound of gallbladder. Plus we would have a month or more wait for surgery. During the waiting, a friend told us about Dr Mark Johnson. He made a call and the office contacted us for an immediate consultation. Dr Mark Johnson’s bedside manner, attention to explanation, details and making us feel comfortable; exceeded all our expectations!!! He was able to schedule her for surgery the following week. We are in AWE! 2 months better than any other doctor or facility. He told us he does at least 1 gallbladder surgery a day. His reviews show it……people need to leave more! Stay tuned. My wife will update after surgery!!

Dr Johnsons ability to diagnose is good. I am and athlete, and am in top physical condition and taught my appendix was possibly in trouble. He was able to figure out the problem in 5 mins. He is professional, smart and very experienced, gives great advice. I highly recommend his services.

***** I came in from Arizona for quality medical care and did I ever receive it!! Misty is the gatekeeper and she is exceptional!! She took care of all the details and assured I would have the gallbladder surgery the next day after seeing Dr. Johnson. Dr. Johnson is also exceptional. "I'm an educator not a dictator. I'll tell you what I think, but it's your decision ". He actually realizes patients have brains too! I am 4 days post surgery and healing marvelously!! Highly recommend Dr. Johnson and Misty!!!

I had a hernia above my bellybutton repaired by Dr. Johnson. A remarkable doctor and with a gifted talent. I would not hesitate to have him perform surgery on me at Conroe Regional Medical Center again if the need arises. Thanks for everything Dr. Johnson.

Ruptured Intestine - CHI St. Lukes at Woodlands I had have never met a doctor as amazing as Dr. Johnson. He is not only great as a surgeon, he actually cares for each one of his patients. After i was released from the hospital i called his office to inquiry about a pain i was having, he actually personally returned my call!! I am so thankful to God and him for saving my life!

I have seen any number of physicians/surgeons over the years and consider Dr. Mark Johnson one of the most thorough and approachable ever. We learned of him through an article in the newspaper that described a new procedure he was doing, which was exactly what I needed, having had it fail twice previously. He explained all details, did an excellent job on the surgery, and was extremely informative and understanding. He has a pleasant demeanor and shows concern for his patients.

He told me it's "not his responsibility" to look at medication charts nor did he know my age. All he cared about was surgery,although he tries to make you think he doesnt. He left me in a lot of pain due to his ignorance of not looking at my chart. I was released after surgery left to deal with my pain and never checked on me. Stay away from this surgeon!
