My young adult child has had lifelong intestinal issues. At birth, he had a systemic reaction to a Hep B shot which caused him to be placed in the infirmary at one day of age, followed by intestinal surgery for Pyloric Stenosis by 3 weeks of age. By age three, he was unable to eat solids or produce Proteolyctic Enzymes, and had delayed gut transit time. By age 5, he had seen every Gastroenterologist from Spokane to Seattle Childrens, to no avail. Understandably, we have reservations due to these experiences. Doctor Johnson is willing to guide us, rather than try to pressure a treatment protocol full of dangerous drugs, and only prescribes what he ethically must to keep you alive. We really appreciate that. The receptionist told me of Dr. Johnson's training at Mayo Clinic and that he was absolutely fantastic! Dr. Johnson is everything the reviews say he is, compassionate, bright, innovative, easy-going, and most importantly, flexible. He has the compassion and patience to work with those who may be resistant or scared of treatments, because he truly is an expert, and he is one of the few, in my view, who care as much about their patients well-being, as their own! I'd also like to add that his nurse, Amy, is equally as caring, patient, and empathetic, in a field where many are too time constrained. During a particularly heartbreaking time, Amy kindly reached out by phone and helped sort us out!
I was referred to Dr. Johnson over 3+ yrs ago! My 7th Gastro in 11 yrs and didn't want to go But so glad I did! He and his staff are the best of the best bar none! A man of integrity, honest, very knowledgeable, great bed side manner when he explains things to you. Doesn't just treat symptoms, always looking for the Cause with a never giving up attitude. One Dr. that took the Hippocratic Oath Seriouslly! So glad our paths crossed! Very Grateful!
Doctor Jackson was thorough and explained everything exceptionally well. I felt as if she listened and heard me.
Dr Johnson was very helpful during our conversation at my appointment. Most important he was totally correct in some changes we discussed regarding my diet. After making the adjustments I feel so much better. I’m very grateful.
Dr Johnson is the best and his group of fellow physicians are amazing however the Doc has an equally great nurse, Amanda. If you are in need of a Gastroenterologist than look no further than Kootenai Gastroenterology in CDA. Dr Johnson, Amanda and their team are caring and thorough. They invest in their patients well being by listening and interacting with each individual. They offer not only suggestions but solutions. Even in the midst of an unprecedented pandemic they made themselves available to patients as well as the patients' family who have questions. Your calls and concerns will not go unanswered. Call them today, you won't be sorry. * Update: 10/2023 - Doctor Johnson and his team are still setting the bar for patient care. You couldn't ask for a better Gastro care group. As we all know, it's been difficult to find and maintain qualified staff members in a post pandemic world but Dr Johnson and KMC have managed to do so. Thank you Dr J, you are appreciated.
Dr. Johnson is the Best GI ever!!! I have Scleroderma and have routine endoscopies with my esophagus dilated which gives me relief.
2nd time with Dr. Johnson. very nice to work with and profesional. Answered my questions, Thanks so much. Very quick results.
I've seen him a few times. He is down to Earth, honest, and has a good sense of humor. He's the best GI doctor I've had in my 27 years of battling UC. I met his PA, Amy, today and she was also easy to talk with and knowledgeable.
