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.

Caring support
Dr Johnson was so kind, thorough and helpful with my wet MD. The diagnosis was hard to take but he helped me understand it and then proceeded to tell me how we were going to address it together I would recommend him to anyone.

Dr. Johnson takes the time to discuss concerns and answer questions. I appreciate his expertise and skill with my eye injections for macular degeneration. Dr. Johnson has a kind manner that goes a long way in reducing anxiety and offering reassurance that each appointment will have a successful outcome.

I appreciate Dr Johnson and his assistants.
The young man who was an assistant prepared me for an eye injection and was professional and encouraging. Dr Johnson is very kind and highly skilled in giving injections. He has cared for my macular degeneration for many years. I appreciate his abilities and honesty! I always feel confident that he knows what’s best for my right eye. I am very thankful for him!

I see a lot of doctors and Dr. Johnson might be the best of them. He handled my surgery perfectly and the care after surgery was just as good. I would recommend him to anyone including family.

Dr Johnson performed a vitrectomy on my eye, only to leave two holes in the rear of the capsule containing my lens. As was always a risk, the vitrectomy led to a cataract. However, either he was over aggressive or rushed during his surgery .. leading to holes which greatly impaired my following cataract surgery. He seems like a nice guy, but I would definitely NOT recommend him.
