Patient Reviews
Oct 30, 2020
Dr. Johnson operated on me in October 2019. The surgery ended up being more complex than anticipated. He and his assistant spent a long amount of time removing the cancer and the associated infection. It was a major project. One year later, I feel great and am normal except for the large scar. Dr. Johnson was consultive and kept me apprised of the situation. Thank you Dr. Johnson. I am glad that I had you as my surgeon.
