Frederick (Rick) Johnson Bariatric Surgeon M.D.

Dr. Johnson has an incredibly caring, compassionate personality. He is very gentle and thorough. He made certain that I understood that this surgery is NOT a \"quick-fix,\" and that how successful it is or isn't will end up depending upon ME. He also has a good sense of humor and I felt extremely comfortable and safe in his very competent hands. Thank you Dr. Johnson!

My 1st impression was what a very nice guy. Dr. Johnson is a very caring man. I live a distance away and I called him with updates on my meds. and weight and he would call me back to let me know I was doing great. The staff is the same at Unity. Very caring people. I had my 1st visit with the Dr. after one week and everything is healing and going great. I will have my first meeting with the nurse on the 29th of this month. I would recommond the Unity Clinic to anyone who is looking into this surgey.

He is very kind and considerate. He is also soft spoken and I like that. Their clinic uses a very structured before and after program. He is thorough with everything he says.

Dr. Johson and his staff are great!!

Dr. Johnson is very friendly and thorough. His office staff are also very friendly and professional. My sister also used him for her surgery five years ago and had a very good experience with him and his staff.rnrnYou will know exactly what to expect and what is expected from you. rnrnHe is a great surgeon, I would recommend him.

I just loved Dr. Johnson. He is wonderful! He is very down to earth. Just so you know, he will talk to you about the surgery and make sure you understand everything about it. rnrnHe is full of humor at the exact right times! rnrnI would give him a 15 out of 10! He's just that good!

i really liked dr. johnson and all the office staff everyone was helpful and nice. his surgical and bedside manners are great he really does care.

Dr. Johnson is a very nice guy. He has a dry sense of humor, but made me laugh even in the hospital prior to surgery when I was a bit nervous. The office he works in has great staff members who are always there to help. He makes sure you realize that you must follow the program or it won't work for you. He repeated this everytime I saw him. His bedside manor is great and his surgical competence was also great. I have had zero complications and very speedy recovery.

I was so blessed to be able to have Dr. Johsnon as my surgeon. He was very compassionate and caring. Went beyond and above what I would of thought when taking my health issues into concern. He is gentle and makes sure the patient always knows what is involved in the particular process. He emphasised after care and knowledge of what the patient should/should not do to be successful!

My first impression was he is a no nonsense type of surgeon which is fine. We will see if his bedside manner is the same. His staff is very friendly and nice and very willing to help. Be ready for the reality of it all he hides nothing and gives it to you like it is. After care is almost overwhelmingly emphasized. There is structure for aftercare and he is very good at making sure that this is your decision and your risks are laid out and that you know what your getting into. I think a good beside manner with great sugecal competence is best so we will see how Dr johnson works out. So far I like him he is a nice guy looking out for your best interest.rnrnPost-op opinion: Dr Johnson is a great Dr./surgeon. I definately felt that he had all my best interests at heart He was concerned he was going to take my smile away and all he really did was make it better. His bedside manner in the hospital was great. He listened to all of my questions before and after. He has been a great resource of information. I would give Dr Johnson a top rating of 5 stars. Dr johnson if you read this. Thanks for caring!rnrn
