Dr. Johnson was very thorough and engaging with my concerns, questions and explaining the answers and benefits of my continued care plan

I love Dr Johnson but he literally spends so little time with me as a patient. LUCKILY, I am in a place in my cancer journey where I don't need much attention, but a one minute visit could be done over the phone. I am not complaining by any means because I absolutely love Dr Johnson, and he is a great physician but a minute visit kinda waste my time

Dr Douglas Johnson came in within 3 minutes of me waiting in the room. He discussed my results which I am still doing great and cancer free. He asked me how I feel and I told him I am doing great. My lab work comes back so fast so he gets most of my results within minutes of me going to lab. He discussed my future visits and asked about my opinion. I told him I app coming back periodically to assure that my cancer is gone and hasn't returned. Dr. Johnson is always really polite and professional.

1st time in meeting the doctor. He explained so much to us. I wish I could come to Vanderbilt every time but I'm 2 1/2 hours away.

Dr. Douglas Johnson is AMAZING!!! I was very satisfied with the information he volunteered about how great the studies of the immunotherapy I took that showed a very likely positive outcome and also that I should be able to live a normal life. My other doctor NEVER discussed things like that with me. Dr. Johnson gave me a much better outlook than any other oncology staff ever bothered to. I like him a lot!!!
