Dr. Johnston
"All I can say about Dr. Johnston is that he is heaven sent. My care was handled with compassion, confidence, care and respect. He was confident and reassuring during my consultation with him. He answered all my questions and took some unscheduled time to meet with me since I was only there for a 1 day consultation from California. "
-- Kim Clemens, Aortic Valve, Valve Replacement, Mini Sternotomy, 03/31/2022
"Easily understood and to the point. Commando procedure with aortic and mitral valve replacement with tissue valves. Pacemaker required after procedure. Radiation heart disease from cancer treatment 40 years earlier. Looking forward to playing with my 6 month old grandson and taking him fishing someday!"
