Just moved to TN and was referred to Dr. Johnson by UCLA oncology doctor (9 yrs with UCLA). Had a high level of uncertainty having to trust a new doctor (have stage IV metastasic cancer, in remission ). Dr. Johnson is on some of the same commitees as previous doctor which eliminated my stress and uncertainty of a new medical team. Dr. Johnson was patient, informative and reassuring regarding my testing and future care plan.
