Caitlin and the other young lady at the desk were phenomenal. They were very helpful and extremely informative. Those two could literally run the place by themselves. I wish I could remember the other young lady's name. The MDShow more was nice, but I felt rushed. I had maybe 4 minutes with her before she got up to move me to the last step; getting a MM card. So, at $75/minute I felt like I should have discussed more. I felt good with her, though, she was probably just overly busy. Maybe my next visit. One other thing, they told me I could go right over to the dispensary immediately upon leaving their office since everything was all sent over and set up, so I did. When I got there, it wasn't. It took about 2 hours. The dispensary told me that happens often so I will wait till next day the next time. Most likely, I will already be set up with medical by then so it won't matter next time, but for first timers just go next day. All in all everything went smoothly. I got an appointment on the same day I requested and everyone was super nice. I'm thankful this service is available to us. I don't like unnatural chemicals in my body and especially anything big pharma which can't be trusted. I'm looking forward to seeing positive results. ☺️
I called and left a message and was called back the same day. Lisa called me back and answered my questions and luckily there was an opening in the afternoon. I went in filled out paperwork and was called in by / with Kaitlyn . WeShow more spoke and she explained the multitude of ways a product can be taken. I then met with Dr Johnson who then explained in more detail and what she thought would address my medical issues. She asked if I had any questions at the end. I didn’t feel rushed, nor did I wait a lengthy time sitting in the waiting room. The whole process was very relaxed and informative. I would definitely recommend this place as your first stop on your journey.
When it comes to what first sparked Dr. Stephanie Johnson’s passion and determination, she knows just who to thank: her father, who taught her the values of hard and oftentimes tireless work, and her great-grandmother, one of the first women to attend Carlow University in the 1920’s. Though she was unable to graduate because of the Great Depression, Stephanie vowed to do it for her, and a century later, here she is living out her great-grandmother’s legacy.
Somewhere along the way, the calling came that she was created to help save lives. Stephanie graduated from an osteopathic school where she was taught the key to wellness is “to treat our bodies as a whole mind, body, and spirit,” and, from there, went on to attend what at the time was one of only five dually accredited Emergency Medicine Residences in the country, Michigan State University. Training at a Level-1 trauma center, she learned some of the hardest lessons of all, but she kept going.
After graduating from residency in 2009, she moved to the Emerald Coast where she’s been working as an Emergency Medicine physician for over a decade. Over the years, witnessing the opiate crisis firsthand as well as the shortcomings of conventional healthcare, she knew she needed to do something to try and help people suffering without hope or relief.
Self-taught through over 4,000 pages and conferencing with other cannabis clinicians, she began providing cannabis consultations just 27 days after the new law was passed in November of 2016. Dr. Johnson started by solely treating cancer patients and slowly expanded her practice to cover each of the qualifying conditions.
After just two years, she’s doubled the practice, opened a second location in Panama City, then Marianna, and with her amazing staff by her side, served over a thousand patients and counting.

I don't remember the name of the receptionist at the front desk, she also is very sweet, I would not hesitate to recommend Dr. Stephanie Johnson. Thanks again for everything Dr. Johnson and staff.
It was an extremely pleasant visit. I've never felt more comfortable considering I was nervous. Dr. Johnson was so kind and patient explaining everything so that I understood. I appreciated her compassion and understanding! The receptionist was so helpful and sweet. I appreciated her knowledge and making the process so uncomplicated. Let's not forget "Dog"! I don't know his name but buddy could've come home with me. He laid on my feet during the visit and it took all my anxiety away. Five stars for Dog too!
