Dr Johnson was very friendly and attentive. He took the time to ask relevant questions as he assessed my foot pain. He listened deeply as I explained the history of my foot issues. Most impressive was his comprehensive physical eShow morexam. He knew foot mechanics and touched my foot in various locations asking about my pain levels. He engaged my foot in various movements to assess functional issues. He then did a series of dynamic foot scans. Lastly, he provided a clear diagnosis and treatment plan.

Dr. Johnson is an expert in his field with a professional and compassionate approach to the care of his patients. His office is beautiful and runs on schedule. Dr Johnson listened to and respected my mother's wishes regarding her treatment options. He relieved her severe pain, improving the quality of her life immeasurably. Most recently, he prioritized my care in a situation that, I did not realize, had an element of urgency. He cares about his patients. I highly recommend Dr Johnson.

I was referred to Dr Johnson from my first podiatrist as he’s more specialized in what I was dealing with. He was super empathetic, really patient in hearing my concerns, and fostered great Doctor-patient teamwork relationship in making our goals met while ensuring my comfort. His new office is beautiful too! I’m stoked to have his specialty in Santa Barbara.
