Dr. Douglas Johnston is superb! I am very grateful to have him as my surgeon. He is so nice and answered all my questions and was very thorough and explained what would the surgery would entail. I met also with the other surgeon and he was so nice too. I was very impressed today meeting them both. Its been a long road for me going to see so many specialists and having so many tests done this past year. I am lucky and fortunate to have them on my team. Thank you to Northwestern Medicine for your excellence!
