he is slow to respond to messages assuming he ever does. he always seems rushed and never seemed to care enough to remember general details like my name or at least write it down.

He was very unprofessional and discussed his match.doc profile and his post-divorce dating habits with my 13 year old daughter. He told her a story about an unsatisfactory date that he went on that resulted in labeling the woman a "gold-digger because she was a tease. She pretended to want to have sex with me but never did get around to it."

I can say that maybe 1 or 2 of the 12 appointments made he has attended. I was treated as if I just walked in without making an appointment but what really makes this odd is he confirmed the appointments.
Took almost one full year for gim5 to know my name.
multiple trips back and forth because of incorrectly filling out the perscription.
Not a single time have I been told a price that matched the prior month.
approximately one year and a half until he was able to realize my insurance didn't pay him that lead to an immediate termination without any options. furthermore, I was informed that any emergency to see him but 30 days at most, well he incorrectly filled out my prescription so that emergency could have been prevented but yet as of today I am withour my medical which it surly feels like an emergency. I would assume if I continue to feel worse that an ER visit is required but yet not responsible as he would be. I have requested a pick up by Monday, if I am refused , if I am threatened I will immediately walk out but Having alot of trust in the court system I feel confident that he will understand what he has put me through.

Call him directly if you want an appointment. He doesn't check the appointments booked on ZocDoc and didn't know I had an appointment not once but twice. This lead to multiple very awkward meetings of him being like "who are you? Have I seen you before? I can only see you for 5 minutes." He has no office staff, it is just him in a room. This means no one manages his appointments or the patients files which are in a messy giant stack. He seems like he would be a great practitioner as he is a good listener but the unprofessional atmosphere is off putting.

Dr Johnson is great, I've never had to wait in the waiting room and he always promptly calls me back when I call to make an appointment. He cares for his patients and it shows.

It was a great experience with Dr. Johnson. He answered all the questions that I had and in additon to that he also asked me lots of questions which helped me to find out the cause of my issues that I was going through. Hope to see him agian for the follow up.

Visit was only 45 minutes and Dr.'s fee was on the very high end and he only accepts cash or check. Gave no receipt upon receiving payment when asked - said he was too busy. No secretary or administrator present - just the Dr. and his private office with a small waiting room next door. Entire experience felt weird and slightly off. Received no diagnosis because only had 2 visits before deciding this doctor was not a good fit for us.

Doctor Johnson was extremely nice, comfortable to be around, patient and kind. For my first appointment, he spoke with me for an hour, asking me all kinds of questions and getting to know me and my concerns. He was a great listener, asked very good, probing questions. I did not feel like was in a rush to get me out of there, or to just jump to giving me a prescription without a lot of consideration. He was very easy to work with concerning co-pay and insurance. I will definitely be going back and I would highly recommend him.

Appointment started right on time. Dr. Johnson's not one of those psychiatrists who just says "well, what do you think?" to everything, he's willing to give his opinion. Colorful character, highly energetic. We got along well, I felt comfortable talking to him.

I meant to write this review a while ago, because Dr. Johnson is a great, non-judgmental, and concise doctor. I had my first appointment with him because I was working on the west coast and he was easy to talk to and relatable.
