Dr Johnson was amazing. I have had digestive challenges for 30 years and have seen numerous “specialists “. None of them come close to her proficiency and knowledge of the system and ailments. I’m very pleased with the care and service so far. This was my first visit. I am looking forward to continuing my treatment with Dr Johnson. The waiting room is immaculate. Diffuser, calming music, no one was there. I felt very safe from possible Covid. Extremely clean. Marlee and (I apologize) the assistant who took my blood and tested me were amazing, professional, polite, friendly. The treatment rooms are super clean, non cluttered, new technology, no paperwork, online. Beautiful! Wonderful experience and I hope for great results! Thank you !

Goes out of her way to help her patients.

I was a patient at this practice for the past few months. I was advised to buy some vitamins that they sell, and used my PayFlex credit card to purchase them. PayFlex did not accept the purchase-- saying I needed to provide a letter of medical necessity. Seemed simple and straightforward enough. After 16 calls and many emails, I still do not have the letter. Every time I call or email, they say I will have the letter within the hour. Still waiting. Oh, and now my PayFlex card is now suspended because I have not provided the letter. To top it all off? I waited more than an hour to see the doctor on my initial doctor visit.

It was great definitely will book again
Verified patient
They're always amazing. Everyone is friendly and personable from the second I walk in and Dr. Johnson takes the time to ask me about my work, home etc. I never feel rushed and always feel like they respect my time.
Verified patient
Dr. Johnson is great - but the office is really disorganized, which makes for a frustrating experience. I've had multiple situations where my appointment was just cancelled and thus had to wait 30 minutes or more at the office for them to see me. They will cancel/reschedule without even letting you know. In addition, I got some bloodwork done and when I went in to get the lab results, it turns out that the results weren't even there - so it was a waste of my time and a trip into the office. They could have at least called to explain that they needed more time. It's unfortunate because Dr. Johnson is very nice and a good doctor, but I may stop going in given the negative experience I've had with appointments and organization.
Verified patient
they never received the appointment at the office

super friendly and thorough! she really cares about her patients and gives great advice for medical issues. her staff is awesome as well.
She and her entire team make you feel like family the second you walk in. You never feel like just another patient or rushed, it's such a joy to experience, especially when you're not feeling well and need that extra TLC.

Dr. Johnson was very thorough and had an excellent bedside manner along with being very insightful. I plan on going back got a follow up next week and to have a nutrition profile completed by her! This was my first experience with zocdoc and I was very, very happy!! - Matt
Verified patient
Dr. Johnson has excellent bedside manner, is very personable, and took the time to get to know me as a first time patient. I felt that she really listened to my concerns and genuinely cared, which is all too rare among doctors.
Verified patient
I went in to get checked out for a back injury, but was encouraged to get blood tests done to determine what supplements I needed. It was suggested to me that I *especially* needed supplements because both of my parents have (non-hereditary) forms of cancer. Some people may appreciate this, but it felt scam-y to me. Throughout the visit, I heard FIVE different versions of my name. (not to mention a misspelling of my name on two scripts, totally wrong name on the other two) Granted, it's a two-name first name, but it's made up of two super common, easy to pronounce names. Also be sure to double check if your insurance is accepted. This doctor came up on a search for my insurance plan, but when I got to the appointment, I was informed that she was out of network. Something seemed off about this place for sure.
Dr. Johnson and her team have been amazing folks to work with during this time of haze. They've been kind, warm, on-call and willing to help in any way possible to get me back in tip-top shape.
Verified patient
I am visiting from overseas. I found everything about the service: finding a doc near my hotel; the appointment making process; and then the actual doc herself, her manner, her advice, efficiency, to be superb.
She's fantastic, does all she can for her clients without just pawning them off on a specialist, she actually solves problems. This is the only doctor I've been loyal to as an adult.
Verified patient
Dr. Ruth and staff are very helpful and take great care of patients. My second time here, she did a great job diagnosing me with Lyme disease last year (I had a ton of complex symptoms) and recommended to the another specialist for treatment. Overall I highly recommend Dr.Ruth and I'm happy I have a great doctor in the city to go to !
Verified patient
I've now seen Dr. Ruth twice- She's fantastic! I truly appreciate doctors who sit you down and talk to you personably. We explored different issues and concerns and when results came back, she took me through step by step, vitamin by vitamin, and explained everything. I feel informed, not on a cursory level, but rather, in depth. I actually understand how different things in my body and environment affect my health and what I can do to make sure everything stays in good shape. She is also very knowledgable and helpful with the problems insurance can cause. I would highly recommend her and the staff at her office to anyone who needs a doctor. I had been nervous about finding a doctor in a new city on my own, but thank goodness I picked a good one right off the bat!
Verified patient
She was the most incredibly sensitive and considerate doctor. She listened to every symptom and made sure I was feeling better.

Very good Dr.
Verified patient
Dr. Johnson is fantastic. I know I can trust her and her staff to meet me in a timely manner and to take care of my issues at hand.
Verified patient
Even though my wait time was just under 30 minutes, Dr. Johnson gives you her full attention without rushing you through your appointment. I highly recommend her!
Verified patient
Very misleading in terms of health insurance acceptance: explicitly stated that Dr. Johnson accepts Blue Cross Blue Shield but in turns out that she does not accept any insurance as an in-network provider and instead bills everything as out of network.
Dr. Ruth was very attentive to my needs, answered all my questions, and gave me a lot of think of in terms of my medical needs. I'm so grateful I found her and will be telling everyone to make an appointment to visit her.
Not only did she make a special appointment earlier in the morning to accomodate my work schedule, but performed the most thorough examination for my particular symptoms. She was a great help!
Doc Johnson is very nice and professional. However, her staff are unprofessional/ unclean (wiped her gloves on her pants before procedure), and the front desk spent lot of time joking around stead of taking care of the paper work. I also dislike how the doc is promoting unnecessary test and supplements.
Dr. Johnson was helpful, thorough, and personable. I was looking for a general physician and came to her with a string of misc. health questions. She was able to immediately provide answers and solutions.
She's the best PCP I've been to in NY.
Straight forward, my appointment was for 10am, saw the doctor about 5 minutes after (this was due to something with my insurance...so, my fault really). Very professional, as well as down to earth. I definitely recommend
