Dr. Johnson was a kind and gentle. The Dr. was waiting in my room after I was discharged and had to be remitted in 24 hrs. This was at 9 pm. The office staff are nice and respectful. I would give him a 10 out of 10. Dr, Johnson was great and really cares about his patients. Posted on 09/22/2008 |

My first impression was that Dr Johnson reminded me of Mr Bean! Dr. Johnson also has a fun sense of humor so it wasnt much of a stretch :). He was also my sisters Dr a year prior so I knew I was in good hands. The nurses were great and very supportive but the a few of the office staff could be a bit nicer...the day of my MMPI test, I apparently was taking too long and the woman actually stood out side my door making throat clearing noises and kept interuppting me to tell me I needed to hurry it up as it was five o clock. First of all I had to only redo one part of the test per the pych guy and was given an hour, it was ten minutes to five and she started in on me...I know I like to get out of work on time but that doesnt always happen so chill lady huh? The person answering the... [Click here for more] phone could be clueless at times...thats all I want to say.

Dr. Johnson was very nice, he made me feel comfortable right away. My husband was with me and any questions we had he answered and seemed to have alot of time for us.
When it surgery day, he again came in and talked to me asked if there were any last minute questions we had. He is a very gentle man. I would recommend him to anyone. Posted on 03/26/2008 |

I had a great first impression of Dr. Johnson and he continues to impress me with his wealth of knowledge and caring manner in general. D. Johnson gave me his pager number so I can call him any time I need to; also, I have called him with questions and he was more then willing to stay on the line with me to explain everything. He also THANKS me for calling him and says that if I need anything else to not worry about calling. I feel at ease with him and he REALLY cares about me and my health.
One thing future patients should know about Dr. Johnson is that he is very serious about following the wonderful plan that Unity has to offer; if you follow the plan you'll be successful!
Dr. Johnson emphasizes aftercare prior surgery, the day of surgery, and every other time I've seen... [Click here for more] him.
The program Unity follows is very structured and organized. I love the program book, which I call the Program bible.
Dr. Johnson was very proactive with my complications after surgery. I remember him being in my room for a long time asking questions and ensuring that he had all the facts he needed to make the best desicion possible. I did have to have a second surgery but because of his fast actions everything went perfect!
I love Dr. Johnson! He's caring, has a great bedside manner and is very surgical competence (he even used the same incisions with the second surgery!) I can't say enough great things about him!
I recommended him to my sister and she thinks he's wonderful as well...

Dr. Frederick W. Johnson
The very first moment I met Dr. Johnson I was
impressed with him. I was afraid I would
not be a candidate for the lap band or any
bariatric surgery as I weighed 208# and to
many I "appeared" to not be an acceptable
candidate. I am 5'2" and when my BMI was
calculated I was 38 plus I have diabetes, hypertension, high colesterol, oeteo-arthritis
in my knees and hips,etc. Dr. Johnson assured
me I am a good candidate for the RNY surgery and as I was concerned as to
whether he would be able to operate be-
cause of my hernia surgical scar on my
abdomen between my upper chest to
my pelvis area. He did talk of the possibility of scar tissue interfering with part of the RNY surgery but that being a problem was rare.
I am looking forward to my surgery... [Click here for more] on April
15, 2008.I think he is excellent and I am very happy to be working with him and Sandy, the Bariatric Nurse Clinician.
I have been given pamphlets and a book
on what to expect for the surgery.
I am very satisfide and confident that every-
thing will be good. I am enthusiastic to work
with Dr.Johnson and his staff and my nut. Lisa.
These are my personal impressions of my own personal experiences with these people and I am making no statements about what other people experience. Barbara

I chose Dr Johnson when I saw he was a part of this group because he had taken my gallbladder out in 1995 and I really like him then. He was and still is very up front about everything and while he doesn't sugar coat things he is not condescending about it either. He is very caring and gives his personal pager number to his patients so I could call him whenever I needed. His staff is just as nice. They are always availible for questions and concerns. They were so through with the prep that I have not needed to call with concerns post op because I knew just what to expect. After care is a requirement and it is very structured. I was asked to sign a contract agreeing to it, which made me a little nervous at first. However, the after care has been looking for and heading off potential... [Click here for more] problems that I may encounter and has been extremely helpful. Risks of surgery were addressed one on one at my pre op appointment. I would have been happy with a surgically compentent surgeon. As a nurse myself it was important to fele like I was in good hands, but I was very lucky with Dr Johnson as he has both in abundance. He is in my opinion one of the best surgeons I have ever met!

Dr. Johnson has an incredibly caring, compassionate personality. He is very gentle and thorough. He made certain that I understood that this surgery is NOT a "quick-fix," and that how successful it is or isn't will end up depending upon ME. He also has a good sense of humor and I felt extremely comfortable and safe in his very competent hands. Thank you Dr. Johnson! Posted on 01/06/2008 |
