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 Johnston is the best pcp I have ever had.
When you call to get an appointment you are never told we are booked out three weeks. You are in within the week and if sick or an emergency they squeeze you in that day or the next. In todays world doctors over book, patients are just a number, get them in and out as quickly as possible. Not Doctor Johnston. He is very thorough, he actually listens and will take the necessary steps to get your feeling better. He is a straight shooter and so thankful to have found him as my pcp.

I used to see Dr. Johnston in Ormond Beach FL. He's the best Dr. I've ever been to, and probably ever will. If you live close enough to have him as your doctor you're very fortunate. I'd almost take a drive up from Florida just to say hi to the man

Finally an Old School Doctor that tells the truth. If you just want a cheap thrill, and I mean getting your hands on some pills then this Man isn't for you. However if you need a fine Doctor, well Dr. Johnston has my vote.

A beautiful little clinic with good old-fashioned service and care. A doctor with an incredible diversity of knowledge and skills. Finally a doctor you can talk to....and will listen. Thank you. He is great but straight to the point. You get what you pay for... a great service from the minute you enter the clinic. No frumpy, cold reception staff here. Top marks. Thank you for caring about my health so much and making me feel so welcome.
