Reviews
Thorough and Knowledgable
Very good communication and I never felt rushed with Dr. Johan's. He took his time in explaining what was wrong with my back and what surgery would entail. Great bedside manner! It's been a month now since my spinal fusion and so far, so good! I refer all my back pain suffering friends!
