"I was lucky enough to run into Dr. Johnston for emergency colon surgery. I did not know him or anyone else in the department. He probably saved my life. Very personable, amazing bedside manner, doesn't run his office visits by his watch. He goes the extra mile. I had a wonderful experience considering, and I would recommend him to anyone. "

"Dr. William Johnson is an amazing doctor. Extremely intelligent and compassionate. He is very kind and patient answering all of my husbands and my questions and does not rush you. Saved my life so grateful that God lead me to him. "

"Dr Johnston and his nursing staff at all his locations are just the absolute BEST in the medical field. They genuinely care about their patients. They are always prompt and efficient. They listen and explain things very well. Dr Johnston is the best colorectal surgeon I’ve ever seen or known. His bedside manner is far superior to all of his peers. Oschner struck gold when they acquired him as a member of their organization! He is the Best of the Best and because he stays humble and treats his staff well, he has built all of them up to be just as amazing as he is. "

Data Transparency and Trust: Understanding WebMD Doctor Listings and Reviews

We know that finding the right doctor or provider is important to your health. That’s why we want to ensure you have confidence in the provider profiles and listings you see on WebMD Care. Our provider data is sourced from the physicians themselves as well as publicly available databases. Any doctor or provider who claims their profile by verifying themselves can update their information and provide additional data on their specialties, education, accepted insurances, conditions they treat, and procedures they perform.

All the physician and provider reviews on WebMD Care are provided by users just like you. Knowing these reviews provide insight into how other patients feel about a doctor, we maintain internal policies and protocols to ensure the quality and accuracy of all reviews. Providers are not able to remove or modify reviews on their own. Reviews can only be removed after an internal review by our customer service team.

We value your input and encourage you to reach out to our support team if you encounter any issues.
