Someone Who Actually Has ADHD

I made an appointment with him to talk about ADHD testing, anxiety, & issues with fatigue. He told me, after talking to me for 5 minutes & not asking me about any ADHD symptoms, that he 'didn't think I had ADHD' & refused to TEST me. This seemed very unscientific, but I figured I'd at least try to work with him anyway. I told him that the most important thing about treating my anxiety was that many medications gave me fatigue. Fatigue made all of my other symptoms worse, so under NO circumstance should I be put on something ... read more

Dr. Johnson is cruel and I believe dangerous. I left and went 400 miles back to my previous psychiatrist who immediately reversed everything he was doing and helped me. I believe he enjoyed hurting me and did it just because he could. Who would believe me? Psychiatrist vs Mental Patient. Who do you think will win? He is the most awful person I have ever met. Oh, he's sorry I feel this way.

I had seen Dr Johnson over the summer for medication. I had 2 horrible meetings with him, to one point he said he was going to not treat me. This was because he disagreed with one point of my treatment, that I felt strongly about. Here I was out of work because of panic attacks. He has me on 2 new meds. Because of his ego, he was going to drop me right there and leave me without a treatment plan. I had to practically almost beg him to not do that. I backed up on my point, and even then he said he didn't believe me. It was th... read more

Over the years I have regretted not filing a grievance against Dr. Johnson. He saw him once a month for almost 9 years. It was for Medicine Management. There were times that I did forget that I had a appointment with him, and several times I was 10 minutes late. I always paid the fee or apologized because the mistake was on me. However, the last appointment with him I canceled. I called the day before to cancel. I didn't want to pay the charge for a last minute notice. Dr. Johnson charged me anyway! I called him a couple tim... read more

Dr Johnson has been my psychiatrist for many years and his care has enabled me to be gainfully employed and a contributing member of my community and family. He has altered my medications as needed and always, to my benefit, been spot on.

He is the worst doctor I have ever met. He is unkind and uncaring. He does not have empathy. He presents as Mr. Rogers. He is not. Be afraid. Be very afraid. Run away or better never start.

I'm actually shocked to see negative reviews of Dr. Johnson! I've been seeing him for about a year, and I think he's absolutely wonderful. I find him attentive and caring. He doesn't rush, takes my concerns seriously, and returns calls quickly. For various reasons, it's very difficult for me to trust psychiatrists, but Dr. Johnson has somehow managed to make me feel completely safe and comfortable. I feel fortunate to have found him.
