Dr Johnson spent a very significant amt of time with me discussing three body parts that were X-Rayed. Specific issues were pinpointed and what were possible cause of the pain I was experiencing.
A couple little things in the written report, I think, were off by a bit. I clarified by emailing back.... but nothing that was horribly off base for future consultations.
I felt very comfortable that in the person to person meeting Dr Johnson addressed all my questions at the time. Of course one as more after they digest the meeting.
Sad to hear he was scheduled to retire in the near furure. After hearing the issues Dr Johnson referred me to a Surgeon he thought I would be best matched with.
Thank You

Doctor Johnson is good and experienced. But we had to wait over an hour to see him, when we asked the person in the office near reception counter she said she doesn’t know the reason for delay and after waiting for one hour she said we may go back if we are getting late. This attitude really disappointed us. We waited for 1 hour 15 min before we got to see the doctor finally. But doctor was patient to listen to my concern and was knowledgeable. He explained things well.
