I am grateful to have Dr. Johnstone as my Primary Care Provider. He is kind, compassionate, and genuinely listens. I never feel rushed during appointments, and he takes the time to understand my concerns and answer my questions thoughtfully. What I appreciate most is that he allows me to be a partner in my care. He discusses the pros and cons of different options, respects my preferences, and helps me make informed decisions rather than simply telling me what to do. His empathy and active listening truly make a difference. The nurses and administrative staff are equally wonderful, they are friendly, knowledgeable, and always willing to help. Every interaction has been positive and professional.

Dr. Johnstone seems to always understand what is going on with me as I grow older. He is very interested in my life and we always have a good chat. He even went out to the car and talked with my wife as I was checking out. Glad he is looking after me!
