Dr. Paul Johnson, DO

I’ve been a long time patient. Dr. Johnson asks questions, and LISTENS! He’s helped with a string of running injuries I’ve had, and has treated me many times with both Prolotherapy and PRP. He’s the absolute best sports medicine dr I’ve had.

Dr. Johnson's expertise and treatment of my rotator cuff tear saved me from having to have surgery. My PT and surgeon are telling me this is a miracle, as they both predicted I would need surgery. I am so grateful to him and his wonderful assistant Sasha. He is the best in Portland. Jane Steinkamp

I have been dealing with post hernia surgery pain for 2 years - on a scale of 1-10 -- it was at a 7 - 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Dr. Johnson listened and used ultrasound to do a nerve block and steroid injection. The first one cut my pain in half. I was still dealing with pain and he did another one and it cut it in half again. Most of my days are now pain free. Going in for a third to see if that will knock it completely out. After seeing so many doctors prior to Dr. Johnson who did basically nothing, its great to find a skilled practitioner who knows how to deal with chronic pain.

Dr Johnson is an excellent doctor and has helped my shoulder. His manipulations are very gentle and effefctive

Literally saved my war torn knees. Also helped my scoliosis significantly.

I left his office in WORSE condition than before I met him. He looked at my shoulder with ultrasound for about five minutes, and then prescribed injecting ~ 50 cc of water into my shoulder without explaining how it was supposed to help my condition. He also didn't explain what to expect afterwards. Before proceeding, he shoved a page in front of me that I had to sign that was covered with warnings about the procedure (I wasn't given a copy of this document, by the way). The water felt like FIRE going in, and when I informed the doctor and his assistant about this, they literally laughed it off. It's now almost two weeks after the procedure, and my arm and shoulder still experience more pain and less mobility than I had before my visit to Dr. Johnson's office. I have notified him repeatedly about this, and his only response has been to suggest that perhaps I have an infection (I don't). I hope my shoulder recovers from Dr. Johnson's "treatment."

Dr Johnson was dead wrong with my diagnosis, very hung up on his use of ultra sound which can't detect arthritis or a torn miniscus, and my 6 mo of PT was a waist of time, esp since I'm an active sr. He diag arthritis in spite of symptoms coming about overnight and my expressed doubts. He said I needed to get used to arthritis at my age and when this knee healed the other knee would start in. Went to orthopedic surgeon and had 2 lrg tears repaired and NO ARTHRITIS! Big ego, unprofessional!

Had knee surgery (by another physician) and had issues afterward that Dr. Johnson addressed and fixed by removing fluid from my knee. Truly a miracle worker, he is the best!
