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.

Amazing! She saved my ankle after I suffered severe spiral fractures of my tibia and fibula. I got injured in my 60s and I'm back to tennis and jogging. I am forever grateful!

failed surgery
Awful doctor, two failed surgeries. I am permanently injured, I went from hiking and long walks with my dog, to a disability placket. I don't believe anything she says. She is a second rate surgeon. I cannot believe she is with HSS. FYI : She works part time and flies home to Boston. You should know that she won't be around when you need her. She and her PA have big time attitudes. Pick another competent surgeon

Fabulous doctor!
If you find yourself under the care of Dr. Johnson, feel very fortunate to have one of the top doctors in the field. There is a reason she has been at the best hospitals…Massachusetts General and HSS. She is incredibly talented and skilled. She will be very open about the situation one is in…and will guide you along so you can make the best decisions…ones you feel comfortable with with no pressure. She is very patient and helpful to each individual. To top it all off…she is a very nice person as well! Always looked forward to seeing her!

Now, Dr. Anne Holland Johnson at HSS. Over past 3 yrs, I have encountered many physicians/surgeons at leading NY institutions. These encounters were, for the most part, disappointing UNTIL I met Dr. A. Holly Johnson at HSS. Upon meeting Dr. Johnson, I was pleasantly surprised to find her so 'down to earth’…NOT condescending…actively listened and acknowledged my concerns/issues, and more. Although being the expert in this particular situation, via her demeanor, tone, and dialogue, Dr. Johnson respectfully invited me to be a partner in my care including ankle/foot surgery for severed ligaments, ruptured tendon, etc.. Dr. Johnson conversed with me as an intelligent adult explaining what /why she could/could not accommodate [of my concerns/issues] with the goal being to ensure a safe surgery. I am extremely pleased, not only, with the outcome of the surgery done by Dr. Johnson but of her care/interactions with me. Thank you Dr. Johnson for being the best orthopedic surgeon and person.

As a nurse practitioner and nurse for 42 years, I have met several physicians. The are good ones, mediocre one and some bad ones. Then there a the few magnificent ones and Dr. Holly Johnson falls into that class of specialist. I needed 2 separate surgeries and both went without incident . She is caring ,empathetic and kind.

Need a talar dome transplant. I just need to know who does them so I can meet them. Insurance rep said make appt w/ ANYONE...they help me from there. Well picked the wrong doctor I guess cause I didn't get a referral nor any names. She wants to fuse my ankles instead for loss of movement which is totally unnecessary. She did mentioned resurfacing but that talus has been dead a good 10 years now. I give up now. Just going to live my life as a cripple unable to walk w/out PAIN4morethan10MIN

Long wait time but well worth it. She's honest and takes the time with each patient to explain the medical issue and solution. Excellent surgical result!

Plan on staying in the waiting area for a minimum of 2 hours, overbooks all appointments. Terrible surgeon has no idea what she is doing. If you fall in her trap all she will do is recommend more surgery. I finally separated from her grasp still in pain but now seeing a competent surgeon......stay away!!
