Dr. Johnson goes above and beyond for his patients and staff. He is very attentive to detail and listens to his patient's needs, he often works late hours and often calls his patient after hours because he truly cares.

What is a primary care provider?

Why do I need a primary care provider?

What's the difference between a family medicine and internal medicine physician?

How do I choose a primary care provider?

There are a number of factors to consider when selecting your primary care physician. Get opinions from people you trust such as family, friends, and co-workers. Check your health insurance plan to find out what physicians are in-network. Consider your own preferences for office location, office hours, and ease of scheduling.

Most importantly, your primary care physician should be someone you trust – someone who listens to you and makes you feel comfortable when talking about your health issues."

How often should I have an appointment with my provider?

Where can I go if my primary care provider is not available (i.e. after hours or on the weekend)?

What if I don't have health insurance?
