Daniel B.

"Dr. Johnson exudes confidence and goodwill. Before surgery I had difficulty rising onto my right toes. Yesterday, I could rise up without hindrance."

Sue W.

"Dr. Johnson was professional, thorough, and cordial. He reviewed my medical condition clearly and was not rushed."

Michael P.

"Can't say enough good things. Answered all of my questions and even gave me his email so I could ask him anything else that popped into my head in the days leading up to the surgery. Always responded promptly and reassured. Surgery was a great success, I'm almost completely pain free again and Dr. Johnson was great with the recovery as well. "

Wilson W.

"Great doc! He laid all the options out clearly and helped me achieve my goal of being able to ski again. I highly recommend Dr. Johnson to anyone who is experiencing back/spine pain."

State-of-the-Art

State-of-the-Art

Dr. Johnson is an expert in the latest minimally invasive, microsurgical and robotic surgical techniques. With a special interest in motion preservation surgery, Dr. Johnson provides his patients the most advanced level of care available today.

Minimally Invasive

Minimally Invasive

With Dr. Johnson’s minimally invasive techniques, patients have smaller incisions, less damage to tissues, and shorter hospital stays. His patients also see lower rates of infection and faster recovery times.

Motion Preservation

Motion Preservation

Motion Preservation surgeries create less stress on the spine and allow for faster recoveries. Fusion (fusing together two or more vertebrae so that they heal into a single, solid bone) is used only when absolutely necessary.

Multimodal Analgesia

Multimodal Analgesia

Rather than one high-dose pain medication after surgery, Dr. Johnson uses a scientifically proven combination of synergistic low-dose pain medications. These are administered before, during and after surgery, resulting in better pain control, fewer side effects, and shorter hospital stays.
