"I’m a 71 year-old male retired, aerospace engineer, and have dealt with, and developed an ability to recognize intelligent people in my 40 years of professional experience. In my opinion, Dr. Johnson is one of the most professional and astute maxillofacial oral surgeons you could ever engage with. He has 30+ years of knowledge doing sinus lift / bone graft surgeries in areas where you have lost a tooth or multiple teeth. I broke my number 14 molar on a hard kernel of popcorn. It was split through the floor and could not be repaired. So it had to be extracted. Dr. Johnson did the extraction and at that time also placed bone grafting material into the socket. It took well and after five months of healing a second set of x-rays showed that there was still not enough bone material to accept a titanium implant. So a surgery was scheduled to place a bone graft above that location, which required also lifting my right side sinus. I’m writing this 30 hours after the surgery. Apparently the pain level is supposed to increase with the peak estimated to occur at 48 to 72 hours. So far I have only Very-Low levels of pain. I have no swelling or bruising. I do have some stitch, free ends, sort of dangling, but they cause no irritation or nuisance. I have been able to eat soft foods- eggs, applesauce, yogurt, iced coffee, pudding and homemade ice cream, etc. I’m also drinking plenty of water, diluted Gatorade, diluted pomegranate juice. I feel great. I’m careful to keep my head elevated and not do any bending over to cause blood rush to my head. I’ve had virtually no bleeding. Sleeping on my back with two pillows under my head to keep it elevated. It’s going so well that I’m planning to go for an easy 2 mile walk this evening, just 36 hours after the surgery. I cannot recommend Dr. Johnson and his support staff highly enough. Knowledge matters. Experience matters. He is an expert in the strictest definition of the word. I’m scheduled to-return next Monday for a stitch pulling session. Looking forward to it. In a few months after I’m totally healed, a new crown will be attached to the titanium stud, completing the tooth replacement. If you’ve lost a tooth, I recommend you see Dr. Johnson."
"Dr. Johnson has performed tooth extractions, bone grafts, and implants for me over the past fifteen to twenty years. Despite my chronic neurological condition, he has conducted these oral surgeries under local anesthesia, causing minimal discomfort both during these procedures and during recovery. I trust that Dr. Johnson will handle each task carefully, always considering my comfort. Additionally, he is a personable man who approaches patients with kindness. His staff is friendly and knowledgeable as well. I recommend this team without hesitation."
"Dr. Johnson is an outstanding, experienced oral surgeon. Two weeks ago I had two extractions with bone grafts in preparation for implants. I felt no pain or discomfort during and after the procedure. Everything went perfectly! The front office staff and surgical assistant are great. I highly recommend Dr. Johnson."
"This morning I had a tooth removed and grafting by Dr Johnson. He was on time , and painless. Both Dr Johnson and staff were exceptional. They were professional, efficient, and caring and kind. Excellent service. Thank you so much for a painless experience!"
"I had a sinus lift and implant put in yesterday. I followed directions and other than taking some Advil and Tylenol only to stay ahead of any pain, it has been far better than I anticipated. I have not had to take any prescription paid medicine. I would highly recommend Dr. Johnson to do any oral surgery you need."
