Stephen A. Johnson's Online Review Report Card

I haven’t even been able to make an appointment. First call I was told the schedulers were all on the phone and they’d have to call me back. They called over an hour later asking me a barrage of questions. The person asking questions seemed confused and would leave multiple minutes of silence. After over 17 minutes of this I was told someone will have to call me back within 24 hours for an appointment.. so far I don’t feel like a priority whatsoever. Also being an essential worker and working Night Shift does NOT work out well and usually ends in phone tag. Highly doubtful I’ll be able to get an appointment scheduled.

Follow up

I was recommended to Dr. Johnson from a doctor friend of mine and we met in March of 2021. I was diagnosed with a Vestubular Schwannoma in the left side of my skull in the canal behing my ear. Naturally, I was petrified with the diagnosis but Dr Johnson assured me he woud be able to help me and I would be ok. From the 1st time I met him, I knew I was in the right place. He displayed impressive knowledge and confidence which brought by stress level down immediately. He has a very kind and caring way aout him and I put my full trust in him to help me. I love his assistant Christina as well, she was so kind and patient with me during this extremely stressful time in my life. Dr Johnson performed Gamma Knife Surgery for me in New Brunswick in August of 2021 and everything went perfectly and according to plan. I see him every 6 months for follow ups but I feel great, no issues and I am so gled I had him in my corner! Thank you Dr Johnson!

Upon referral to Dr. Stephen A Johnson for neurosurgery of my cervical spine, I immediately felt confident that he understood my functional problems and pain. He thoroughly reviewed my imaging with me in detail before & after surgery to assure I understood my condition and set my expectations for after surgery, he also calmed my anxiety about proceeding. His compassion is something that sets him apart from many other surgeons, and his follow up and care after surgery has been outstanding. I am so pleased with my results of this very talented Neurosurgeon and highly recommend him!

excellent surgeon top notch doctor very compassionate very kind no complaints at all highly recommend

Very kind and informative

Ongoing weakness in hands. Was able to get an appointment quite quickly. Found Dr. Johnson to be forthcoming and honest as to what and what not to expect from surgery. His staff set up all pre-testing and necessary paperwork. Surgery went smoothly and post-op is much better than I originally thought it might be. Would recommend Dr. Johnson and his entire staff in a second.

Dr. Johnson was the only Dr. who seen my MRIs and knew i was in pain and needed a surgery, when other Drs. did not want to do do anything for me. he is upfront, explains in details and cares. His staff are amazing people!

I found Dr. Johnson and his assistant to be wonderful. He explained in detail how he could help me. My surgery went very well.

From the beginning of my visit, I found the medical assistant to be rude and condescending, speaking to me like I was a child. I'm a disabled 60 y/o, and didn't appreciate it. Dr. Johnson did not even come near me & reviewed my MRI in my absence. He was also dismissive of my diagnosis & my questions. In fairness, he did provide some information on my rare condition. I was referred to another specialist & told by the PA she would contact that office & have them contact me. Never happened. This is a dysfunctional office. I am a Healthcare professional & very familiar with physicians (especially surgeons), staff behavior & office function. One star is the best I can give!
