Fast, friendly & efficient check-in. Thorough & detailed follow-up to an earlier appointment. Never rushed; excellent advice. I was even seen 5 minutes early.

I called to order injection for mom, one nurse said they would call me back, but they never did. After two weeks, I called again, and they said they would call me, but they never did. And I called the third time, same thing happened. They are so irresponsible. I never had this bad experience at any other places

Dr. Johnson worked with me to devise an alternative plan when I chose to postpone my total knee replacement due to a family situation. I left the office today with a plan to make walking, driving, and dancing a possible until I am able to have my total knee replacement. Thank you, Dr. Johnson!

Met with Caitlyn this morning with my son for pre-surgical discussion. She is amazing, answers any and all questions and concerns. She explained my surgery in detail so that I can understand what was going to happen. Very professional and great personality .
