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.

Dr johnson found I had neuro shypillis and tb latent he treated both conditions really well and saved my life with those. He did say I have irreversible chiriosis but my gastro said it was reversible which I'm going with the Gastro. I'm not gonna lie the guy is straight forward but it's not his intention he is dr not a nanny. Could he be a little more compassionate? Yeah maybe but I could care less he saved my life and that's all that matters to me my mom raised me to be a man and face my consequences head on. Either way we all die one day make the best of it whatever the outcome. Thanks again doc. 5/5

Dr. Johnson and Kern Medical saved my life!! I was admitted with Valley Fever in my brain and I am alive today because of Dr. Johnson. He is an amazing doctor and has a great dry wit.

Dr. Johnson was extremely warm, accommodating, and provided excellent care. It was very entertaining to watch him act as a problem solver. He ensured that I was able to get into a relevant specialist in a timely manner. Thank you Dr. Johnson!

I was referred to This Dr., by another ID Dr., to see if I really had VF, which was inconclusive. This “Dr.” sent me away telling me there was nothing wrong with me, he didn’t know why I was in his office, 3 days prior to being admitted to the hospital for a ruptured gangrened appendix, which nearly took my life before the obstruction and sepsis, which meant a second abdominal surgery and 3 days in ICU, & 13 days in the hospital. He gets a zero for bedside manner. Rude and condescending.

Dr. Johnson is the very best. Anyone with Valley Fever should go see him. I have been seeing him since 2010, I struggled with this sickness for 5 years before seeing him. He saved my life.

This guy is an arrogant, narcissistic, egotistic, misogynist. My son was a multi-trauma patient & this Dr. was rude, abrupt, abrasive, condescending. He refused to leave my son's hospital room (after multiple requests) so I literally called hospital security. He is one of those Dr.s who thinks he is God. He's a pompous jerk, pulls rank over family & trots around the hospital w/first year med students who don't know any better. He's a menace. Fire him.
