General surgeon providing the highest level surgical care with a focus on communication with patients and their families. Utilizes advanced minimally invasive techniques to decrease time to return of normal activities, minimize complications, and decrease length of stay. Intuitive sponsored proctor for advanced robotic surgery. Specializes in Robotic General Surgery: – Advanced Robotic Abdominal hernia repair – Robotic Colon surgeries with intracorporal anastomsis and natural orifice extractions. – Colecystectomy with Bikini-line incisions – Hiatal/paraesophageal hernia repair.
When surgery is the best course of treatment, I pride myself on a very high level of technical skills, utilizing the newest appropriate approaches and technologies. Technical excellence, utilization of minimally invasive techniques including the DaVinci Xi robotic platform has led to lower complication rates, shorter postoperative length of stay, and better outcomes for my patients compared to national averages. When patients see a surgeon, this is a time of stress and uncertainty. My goal is to help my patients through this process in a very caring manner and provide excellent outcomes.

My doctors diagnosed a small hernia in the same site. I phoned Dr Johnson’s office to enquire about a revision surgery to fix it and he personally called me back to discuss the problem which I really appreciated. The staff and nurses at his office are amazing and Dr Johnson himself was very really great to work with. Everything about my problem and the procedure was explained to me patiently and really clearly. The surgery was a resounding success and having had 7 previous surgeries in my life in various countries I can say this was by far my best experience. I can’t thank him and his team enough.
