Dr. Johnson is in deed my favorite doctor. He and his staff is, and has over the years been very helpful, courteous, and respectful. He is thorough, efficient and makes sure you understand what he is doing and why he is doing it. As a diabetic I know the importance of his knowledge and expertise concerning the care of my eyes. I highly recommend his service to others.
