Dr. Johnson is the most attentive and patient doctor I've encountered. I have a long and complicated medical history, and ask a lot of questions about options and prescriptions. Dr. Johnson patiently explained everything to me and has helped guide me to a much better state of health. It's hard to earn my trust, and he has done that. I highly recommend him, especially to patients with multiple health issues and advanced heart failure.

I have never in my 62 yrs been to a hospital with doctors as attentive as the doctors in UT. They have been exceptional in my care. Even while I was in the hospital a few months ago. These doctors are very knowledgeable in what they study for. In my case it was cardiovascular and Dr. Johnson is an exceptional doctor. Listens to any concerns I have, and actually worked with me to fix the concerns. Alot of doctors will just push you in and out of the office just to collect money. You just don't find doctors that take time with you and listen. I would and have recommended UT hospital and Doctors to anyone in need of a doctor. Keep up the good work!

Dr Johnson was wonderful very kind & attentive. He immediately made me feel at ease, respected, and secure that I was going to be taken good care of. He is an excellent listener listener & took the time to thoroughly go over my entire previous medical history during the visit. He explained that I did have a heart murmur & then discussed the tests he wanted done to see what was causing it. I am alone without family so I feel blessed to have found such a compassionate, caring professional to care for me & guide me through this scary diagnosis.
