Dr. Johnston has been my PCP since I moved to Tyler, he's always helpful and genuine when we talk about my health and medications. I like a doctor that doesn't beat around the bush, he gives it to you straight. If you're a smoker, he will address it. My last doctor just threw pills in my face and only cared about getting me in and out as quickly as possible. The world needs more Dr. Johnston's!

Dr Johnston is a class act. We’ve been going to him for over 17 years. Always listens to you first and has always been spot on for diagnosis and treatment. Hands down, best Family Doctor around.

He is very thorough and caring. He listens well and explains till you understand. He cures the problem instead of doling out medications for the symptoms and he refers to specialists for complex problems. I am healthier because of his care.
