Jason Johnson, RNFA, FNP-C, is a certified family nurse practitioner who practices at the UT Health East Texas Orthopedic Institute. Johnson cares for patients with general and traumatic orthopedic injuries, primarily of the shoulder and elbow. “We may be working on their shoulder, but we also want the patient to do things that are healthy for their whole body. Good nutrition, exercise, good sleep habits and even healthy relationships all can aid in the healing process.”
Johnson helps patients through all phases of orthopedic care, from initial clinic visits, surgery, if needed, and recovery. “I spend a lot of time educating patients about the healing process. I think it’s also important to involve the people in patients’ lives, so that everyone can help.”
He earned his associate’s degree in nursing from Panola College in Carthage and his bachelor’s degree in nursing from Stephen F. Austin State University in Nacogdoches. He also earned his master’s degree in nursing from The University of Texas at Tyler.

I have seen Jason several times over the last 5 years or so for surgical follow up or shoulder injections. The first time he told me that he wanted to stick a needle into my shoulder joint I was concerned. Luckily Jason is informative, professional, and the injection was absolutely pain free. He's been helpful in so many ways over the years and I'd definately see him again.

Jason Johnson is the absolute best. I am very impressed with him and Dr Devinney. JJ assisted Dr Devinney in both of my right hip surgeries this year. My post opp appts have been with JJ and he is kind and caring. I was having another medical issue unrelated to my hip and he took it very seriously. He even referred me to a specialist that I got to see a couple of days later. He went above and beyond and for that I am very grateful. Thank you JJ!!!!

Mr Johnson was wonderful and listened to my concerns. He even caught how badly my throat hurt when I took a sip of water. He offered me options for my treatment and that was great. Feeling better now the day after. So grateful to have the options to see our FNP when our doctors are overloaded. Thank you for the excellent care
