I went to see this doctor for a slight adjustment to routine, non-addictive medication and came out with a condescending lecture on lifestyle, a bunch of printouts on diet, no meaningful patient education, and no actual substantive help. She spoke to me like I was a child, explained to me things that I knew (and she knew I knew); she acted as if I was incapable of understanding anything unless she explained it to me. She, like other practitioners at this clinic, hyperfocused on one item on my chart and refused to see me as an actual person with multiple common conditions. She lacks the people skills and clinical expertise to ask basic follow-up questions or even confirm that her medical plan is something the patient wants. A first year medical student would have been preferable, because at least they are still worried enough about their patients to ask the easy questions. I cannot recommend this provider any less. Should you have a problem beyond a common cold, see someone else.

Dr. Johnson provided outstanding patience and thoroughly explained my condition and its challenges. Since the condition limited my ability to fully comprehend her instructions, she requested permission to speak with a family member and explained my condition. Outstanding!

Cold and impersonal. Offered no explanation or guidance - just referred me to the hospital. She looked at her computer longer than she looked at me. The appointment was over before I even knew it - maybe 5 minutes total. She handed me a stack of printouts and walked out. I called in advance to see if their was a Dr. at the Urgent Care that could help me. Had known they were just going to punt me over to the hospital I would have skipped this altogether. I left the office in tears.
