"Dr Johnson has the team approach to WLS. Before you can even schedule a consultation, you must schedule to attend his monthly information session. At the information session he covers surgery, expectations, insurance and how to get insurance to pay, and how to live with your pouch.
His office staff is incredibly professional and coordinated. They get back to you quickly and are caring. You feel like a person, not a procedure.
My consultation was incredibly informative, and all information was taken to see if I was a good candidate and submit to the insurance company.
I was first denied - but his office appealed quickly and I was approved 2 weeks later.
I have the privilege to work at Mon General, which helped make my decision easier. Dr. Johnson has a great reputation among the medical staff. My father is an orthopedic surgeon at Mon General, a very protective father, and he is very comfortable with Dr. Johnson as my surgeon.
I feel very lucky to have Dr. J as my physician. I know I will have the best of care, in clinical excellence and bedside manner.
My lab RYN is scheduled for April 8th. I will update upon return to the conscious from my surgery! "
