I'm grateful for a physician like Dr Johnson who listens and wants the best for me as well. He doesn't jump on surgery as an option unless absolutely necessary.

I have received excellent care from Dr Michael Johnson. I credit him with saving my right foot last year and the continuing follow up care he's providing. I also saw Dr [ ] and she greatly helped my hand.

The staff has the best customer service around. They greet you with a smile, they remember your name. Even the receptionist from the time you walk in the door. They are kind but firm

Dr. Johnson was fantastic as was his nurse. I was scheduled for 7:00am x-rays and waited for over 30 minutes to get the x-rays done.

I loved everything about UAB Highlands. The staff was very nice, and wait time to see the doctor was great. I am truly grateful and blessed to have a doctor like Dr Michael Johnson. I hope he never leaves UAB.

The surgeon I saw, Dr. Michael Johnson, listened to me when I asked if anything other than surgery could be done for my foot pain. I appreciate this kind of patient care.

There is an older lady at the main desk downstairs. I can't tell you her name because her tag is always flipped around backwards. She is so rude to not just me, everyone she comes in contact with. In contrast everyone upstairs: all the orthopedic staff and xray staff and surgical staff that I dealt with over the top awesome. I really enjoyed working with CJ she was very encouraging to me during a difficult time.

Dr Johnson is a great doctor! [date] and has done good by me every sense. My accident would change my life forever. My foot was pulled off the bone, he saw fit to save it. The man has miracle hands. PLEASE remind this man how important he is to your clinic. People I talk to about him i tell them all he is a doctor with hands. Dr Miracle!👏🏾🙏😇

I feel as though there should be a good evaluation of workflow and patient throughput. I selected a 7am appointment assuming I would be one of the first patients of the day and that clinic would not be backed up yet. When I arrived, there was no one at the desk (she did appear to be doing other tasks). I witnessed this for others checking in as well. The individual checking in patients needed assistance with completing other tasks. Though I was the first patient and arrived a few minutes early, it was still 15-20 minutes before I was called for triage and then found out I was having imaging that no one informed me of. The imaging was fine, no wait after triage for that and the x-ray tech was professional. After imaging she pointed down a hallway and instructed me to head to the end and someone would room me. There was no one there. I was moved to a clinical space where the only staff present was a resident who notified me there was no one here and just said to sit anywhere... so I sat in the first room. ~10 minutes later someone (maybe a CMA) was in the space and seemed annoyed when I was not in the correct room.... how was I supposed to know unless I looked at the chart on the door risking a HIPPA violation for another patient. If you have 7 am appointments, you need staff present to care for patients

Dr. Johnson did not seem to listen to me as to what was going on/symptoms. I waited in the exam room for over an hour at the end of the day, he was obviously tired or not particularly interested.

Thanks to Dr. Johnson and staff for their excellent care during the past 3+ years following an automobile accident. I will be forever grateful for being his patient and will recommend UAB Highlands Orthopedic Clinic to friends and family that are in need of orthopedic care❤️

Dr. Michael Johnson is not just a great surgeon but has an amazing bed side manner. He wasn't rushed, took the time to answer and explain all the questions I had, as if he were speaking to a family member, quite impressive.
