Robert A Johnson Md's Online Review Report Card

Dr Johnson is great! He is professional & easy to talk to.

Dr. Johnson is what we should always expect about going to a doctor. Knowledgeable, Caring, spends time with patient and one of the best diagnosticians since I have been in Florida over 20 years.

Absolutely great. Very pleasant and extremely knowledgeable

Just don't. I'm torn between saying anything negative about physicians when probably most of the irritation is with a poorly run office. In the end though, I totally despise physicians that can't SEE how poorly things are being run. In short, I tried contacting this office to simply set up an appt and guess what? You won't get anyone on the phone. You get a rude message telling you that you have to have your MRI done beforehand. Ok, it's just insulting, the recording. Post MRI done, nothing but messages so I ask for Office Manager. I explain what I'm trying to do, you know, something weird like, Make a Blasted Appt. She returns call in 5 days. Tells me Dr. Johnson's person has been out sick or something. That's why ALL my messages haven't been responded to. Finally, a simple appt is made. Now, for the FUN part. Generally, I arrive early (as a Blasted courtesy), to fill out papers. OMG. You've never SEEN a catalog of forms like what they throw at you. First though, it gets better, I GUESS your appt time is made with the intention of you going downstairs to have an xray done, and oh, while you're there, you can work on filling out the nearly 30 pages of forms that require signatures and printed names on just about every single one. So, I fill out papers pretty fast, and working on those and getting an xray, come back upstairs, Finally finish filling out papers and guess what? I'm only 2 or 3 minutes past my APPT TIME. That's the TIME his OFFICE made the appt for. Still, with only 2 other people in the waiting room, it's 45 minutes before she calls me back. Since I've been in and out of offices since 1988, I have a Rule: I arrive 30 min early, again, Common Courtesy, from the time They set my appt, I wait 30 minutes. If I haven't been called in, I get the hell up and leave. There are too many doctors vying for you to be their patient and guess what? They might consider your time as valuable as theirs. I ask the girl, "is he in the building?" "Am I going to wait in this room for 30 minutes?" So, he comes in, a nice sort, he placates, like doctors do, thinking that'll smooth everything over. He wanted me to send PIX of something going on with my back. Within 5 days of visit, I called and ask for his office. You won't believe this, I get the same blasted message I've been getting for 3 months, she's out or something. I call back, ASK for a HUMAN being that works with Dr. Johnson. Ok, so they get his Nurse, or personal assistant on the line. She gives info on where to send photos. Now, over 2 weeks later, no response from anyone at that office, which comes back to having inept office personnel. This isn't sour grapes, these are facts. Stop sitting and waiting for hours on doctors who are either blind to their inept office staff or simply don't care. Find a dr who cares. My heart Physician, with dozens of patients in waiting, gets into my room to visit within minutes. It's so amazing I actually put the timer on him every time and we joke about it.

His receptionist needs to learn her manners. When someone is barely breathing trying to get help it is not her JOB to he ignorant , rude and unprofessional!

Dr. Robert Johnson repaired my lumbar with rods and screws from my L-2 thru my S-1 in 2008! I have been totally happy with my results and have lived a full life without pain from my surgery. I Do have severe osetoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis that effects every bone and joint in me but I can honestly say I would NEVER change a thing that he did to help me!! I stay active running my home at nearly 85% and am 72 years young. YES you have to sit and wait in the office, often in pain, but when you are working with top notch experienced neuro-surgeons, you just take the good with the bad and tough it out. I have been in to see him several times since 2008 and was always treated with the utmost care and concern by both him and his staff. They return my phone calls and do their very best to accomodate me. If that means I have to change MY appointments--then so be it. This is the medical world we now live in and to have a great doctor---I will do just about anything!!

Great doctor and man.

He seems to be afraid to treat. When he does choose to treat, he does so without discussing options. He just leaves you in the examining room and returns with a prescription (s), allowing no questions about his choice of medication.

This is the WORST office staff we have ever worked with. Incorrect information has been constantly given, along with terrible patient service accompanied by terrible attitudes via telephone. Dr. Johnson has mis-diagnosed from the beginning (4 months ago) and his office staff has not been pleasent to work with (Christina in particular) trying to get to the bottom of my medical condition. I will not recommend anyone to this office. if you're reading this trying to decide on a pulmonary dr, beware!

Wonderful bedside manner, caring and an excellent clinician!
