May 17, 2013

I always have a great experience with Dr. Johnstone. She always makes me feel like an individual and addresses all of my concerns in person, and even in followup on mychart. She is a top-notch physician not just at the U, but in the US.

May 17, 2013

I couldn't imagine a more concerned and knowledgable practitioner. she put us at ease and was friendly and thorough and spoke in a way we could understand. we loved her!

May 09, 2013

I continue to be impressed and encouraged by Dr. Johnstone. She is professional, brilliant and even though I drive 280 miles one way to an appointment, I think I would drive another 280 to have her as my Dr. When I leave the appointments, I feel like I'm physically on the right track with my reproductive challenges and mentally inspired to take better care of myself and take on the world.

April 26, 2013

I really like dr. Johnstone. She seems very knowledgeable. She never rushed us and she answered all our questions.

EXCELLENT visit - I felt she really listened and thought about and then we found a solution. AWESOME.

Dr. Johnstone spent extra time with us my husband and I had a lot of questions and concerns about the number of embryos to transfer.

March 06, 2013

Dr. johnstone is effiecient

March 06, 2013

I will not recommend this clinic to anyone.

March 04, 2013

I wish she would have gone into more detail about exactly what the procedure was doing.

February 26, 2013

She was fantastic. She listened to my concerns and spent enough time with me to answer all of my questions.

February 25, 2013

This was my first visit with Dr. Johnstone. She was very thorough about discussing the issues I've been having as well as solutions. I appreciate her straight-forwardness. She gave me step-by-step instructions for our health care plan, which I appreciate. I'm looking forward to working with her to become pregnant.

February 19, 2013

The staff is friendly, which is helpful due to the sensitive nature of the appointment.

February 19, 2013

Dr. Johnstone was excellent; she explained the diagnostic process clearly and she was very reassuring and positive.

February 19, 2013

We spent more time with the fellow than the actual doctor, but both of them were great. He did and amazing job letting me know that what we want to do is possible. Dr. Johnstone was wonderful as well, she is very nice and not intimidating at all, which makes for a much better experience.

February 11, 2013

I really liked my doctor. She was friendly and very caring.

February 04, 2013

Excellent bedside manner

January 29, 2013

Overall, A very good experience. I really liked that Dr. Johnstone gave me an instruction sheet to go over with my instructions.

January 17, 2013

I feel like Dr. Johnstone cares about our desire to have a child and wants to help us get pregnant in a way that we are comfortable and informed.

December 27, 2012

Dr. Johnstone is wonderful! Even though this is a long and sometimes complicated process, I feel she takes the time to listen and explain things to me. I think two of the most important things in working with infertility are trust and communication. Dr. Johnstone does an excellent job gaining trust and communicating things in a way that I understand. She is not only an excellent physician, but a kind and compassionate person. Her care and the way she approaches solving my problems have made a huge difference in my life.

December 10, 2012

I feel like Dr Johnstone was in a bad mood. We had previous discussions in prior visits, and suddenly she was telling me what she really thought. I feel like she lied to me in our past visits, and didn't really give me all if the information I needed before to make an informed decision.

December 05, 2012

The only thing I would comment on is that Dr. Johnstone -- and the MA, I think -- told me that MyChart could be used to book appointments and also to be in touch with Dr. Johnstone herself, instead of calling the clinic. It turned out that this is NOT true at this time. Currently there is almost nothing that can be accomplished via MyChart, which is frustrating, because it would be very helpful.

December 04, 2012

Very professional.

November 23, 2012

Doctor Johnstone has been great! We could not have asked for a better doctor.

November 23, 2012

Dr. Johnstone is fantastic!

November 19, 2012

I was very impressed with Dr. Johnstone. My regular dr is Dr. Peterson, but he was busy this Saturday. So I met with Dr. Johnstone. She was very professional, kind, and all around great!

November 19, 2012

Dr. Johnstone was very thorough and took the time to sit down and talk with me for well over 1/2 hour on my condition and treatment. She answered all my questions and I appreciate how well she explained everything.

November 16, 2012

Dr. Johnstone is incredibly kind and informative.

November 05, 2012

Dr. Johnstone is one of a kind. She is a perfect care provider. She is dedicated to her patients. She spends as much time as I need to ask questions. She is wonderful about explaining things, being patient with me, and supportive or my concerns. I can tell that she is extremely dedicated to my care. She is absolutely amazing and someone I would of course recommend in the future.

October 26, 2012

We didn't get any follow up instructions, as we did the 1st time. Luckily, we still had that info at home.

October 22, 2012

I am not overally impressed with physician bedside care. I can not say I would highly recommend this team over others.

October 22, 2012

I am very confident with the team at this clinic.

October 15, 2012

I absolutely LOVE Dr. Johnstone and have already recommended my sister to see her. She has an appt with her in November.

October 15, 2012

Dr was condescending, explored no alternatives, did not complete thorough exam,

October 10, 2012

Dr. Johnstone is always very attentive to our questions and concerns. We really appreciate her expertise and responsiveness to our questions. She took extra time on this day to double-check some information for us that made a big difference. We really appreciated that.

October 09, 2012

I would definitely recommend the team of doctors and nurses.

October 08, 2012

I tried to go into the appt with no expectations. I had a friend in the clinic who had overheard Dr. Johnstone commenting semi-negatively about working with women nearing their 40s vs those in their 20s. I'm nearing 40 and probably want a child just as much, if not more, than someone in their 20s who has time. Dr. J. was very polite, professional, explained things very well, I didn't find her to be as warm as my primary physician, but I was probably a little biased. I am sure the care will be excellent.

October 02, 2012

Everyone was wonderful and helped me understand what my next steps would be in the IVF process.

September 25, 2012

Dr. JOhnstone does an amazing job of answering my questions and explaining things to me. I can tell that she has my interests as a priority in her mind and she will work hard to support and help me. She is extremely kind and approachable.

September 24, 2012

Dr Johnstone is honestly the BEST physician I have ever had!! She is thorough, excellent listener, and helps to make my health a "team project"!!!

September 24, 2012

I truly appreciate the time Dr. Johnstone takes to meet with me. She has a way of explaining things, giving me hope and showing empathy that is very rare in the medical community.

September 24, 2012

Dr Johnstone was great at being clear and concise on what our hurdles may be with conceiving and offered a plan that my husband and I can start to move forward toward conceiving.

September 20, 2012

I like Dr. Johnstone. I think she wants to see me get pregnant however I do feel that my constant questions to understand whats being done to me are a bit of an annoyance. I've stopped asking the last couple of times and am just following the procedure.

September 10, 2012

I have been very pleased with Dr. Johnstone and her willingness to help. She seems to show concern and a willingness to help us move forward with available options. I would highly recommend her to friends and family-

August 21, 2012

Very impressed and pleased with Dr. Johnstone. I immediately felt at ease in her care and knew I was where I needed to be to get the best care for my needs.

August 20, 2012

I really appreciated my meeting with Dr. Johnstone. Of all the providers I have seen for my current problem, she was the most helpful and has given me the greatest confidence that we can find a solution! I highly recommend her and have already done so!

August 15, 2012

Dr. Johnstone is an amazing doctor. She is very respectful and caring towards her patients and treats each one with respect and uniqueness.

August 14, 2012

I've not had a better experience with another specialist.

July 30, 2012

Dr. Johnstone was terrific, as always.

July 23, 2012

Dr. Johnstone was a referral from Dr. Jones and I'm very happy with her recommendation.

July 06, 2012

Dr Johnstone was fabulous. She really took time with me and I felt listened to and empowered to make changes. Left with a plan and a way to communicate further. Couldn't be happier!!

July 04, 2012

Your team is phenomenal in terms of patient care. I have recommended you to others & that says everything. Not all doctors are able to give disheartening news with compassion, but you did, Dr. Johstone, and it made all the difference in the world.

June 29, 2012

Love dr johnstone , she knows so much and I have faith again with RE'sE

June 25, 2012

Dr. Johnstone is amazing! I am so happy I found her!

June 18, 2012

Dr Johnstone is fantastic. In fact, most of the Dr at UCRM are wonderful. Dr Peterson has also been great.

May 12, 2012

This was my second appointment with Dr. Johnstone, and both times I have been extremely impressed. She has a very open and approachable way to her that makes me comfortable to ask questions, which I really look for in a doctor. She is a doctor that I would absolutely recommend. She has always treated my husband and myself very well and has given me a printed out document from both visits going over in detail what my next steps are. I really appreciate the information because I'm sure that during my visits I didn't fully grasp something, and the info on the papers is always enough to remind me what I've forgotten.

May 01, 2012

Best care I have ever received from an OB. Very respectful, thorough, kind. Good explanations.

April 28, 2012

I pretty much love Dr. Johnstone and her medical assistant, Kim. They are wonderfully responsive and on top of everything.

April 07, 2012

Dr. Johnstone was very kind and easy to talk to. She was accepting of me and my partners choice to have a baby and showed sincere interest in trying to help us.

April 06, 2012

Dr. Johnstone is, without a doubt, the most proactive and interactive physician I have seen for a long time. She always answers my questions clearly and directly, takes as much time as we need to finish the visit and goes over information until I understand her recommendations. Dr. Johnstone has been realistic about treatment options, knowledgeable about alternatives and medications, and is very aware of cost and pricing information per procedure or medication. This degree of patient care and concern is very rare in my experience, so I am very pleased in working with Dr. Johnstone so far.

April 06, 2012

Dr. Johnstone is amazing and so patient and knowledgeable. She explains thing that I understand and she is patient to explain until I do. This is an emotional experience and she has been amazing.

April 06, 2012

In the past, I was frustrated with my provider Dr. Gibson. My boyfriend and I even considered going to another fertility clinic. However, now that he has retired, my care has been turned over to Dr. Johnstone and I cannot be more happy! She is wonderful. I felt very comfortable, very informed, and like she truly cares about my situation. I am excited to continue with Dr. Johnstone and the University of Utah Health Care System for our fertility needs.

March 31, 2012

most knowledgeable Dr. I've seen yet.

March 28, 2012

Dr. Johnstone is an amazing doctor and I would have no hesitation recommending her to anyone else. She is extremely thorough, sympathetic, patient, and supportive. She does a great job answering questions and explaining my condition, follow up care, and medication. She is a fabulous care provider in every sense of the word.

March 21, 2012

I felt a little rushed in this last appointment, but Dr. Johnstone was great as always.

March 21, 2012

We were given the sad news that our IVF cycle is not successful over the phone. That was very cold, even through the nurse was very kind. News like this should be given in person.

March 21, 2012

Once Dr. Johnstone got into the room with me, things were very fast and done in a timely manner. It was nice to just move forward with what needed to be done so I could get the answers I was waiting for.

March 01, 2012

Love Dr. Johnstone. She is very good at what she does, explains everything thoroughly, and allows for any questions or concerns.

February 29, 2012

Dr. Johnstone is one of the best doctors at the U. I feel confident in her care and completely comfortable discussing my concerns with her.

February 29, 2012

Dr. Johnstone was terrific. Realistic about our options but also very reassuring. We both felt comfortable having her on board as our new physician.

February 28, 2012

Once the appointment started, Dr. Johnstone was very thorough and spent a lot of time checking to make sure everything was OK - especially given my history which she learned about (as I am a relatively new patient for her). She is caring and knowledgeable. She offered a follow-up if I wanted just to make sure everything was going to be OK. She's a nice asset to the practice.

February 23, 2012

When different doctors or nurses come in they don't know anything about your chart and can be perceived by the patient and leave a bit of concern and hesitation that they are diagnosing or answering questions with confidence.

February 15, 2012

Dr. Johnstone listened to my concerns and was very well educated about my condition. She spent enough time with me and I did not feel rushed.

February 06, 2012

Dr. Johnstone has been very nice to work with. My only frustration has been that more thorough testing was not completed to diagnose my problem. We now know I have Hashimotos disease which means I should never have undergone IVF becuase that only aggravates my condition. Looking back over my numerous TSH readings I recognize that this should have been caught and more extensive testing should have been completed. I am frustrated that a clinic as highly ranked as this one allowed me to be just another number with no thought for what they could actually do to help me. I was just a guinea pig that was urged through the basic testing and then urged onto the next fertility treatments. I had to be the one who through my own research asked to have the additional testing done. I am surprised by that. I wish doctors truly cared more and that we weren't just another number to them. Otherwise the staff and doctors have been kind and considerate. I just wish they would have really looked over all my numbers together, which definitlely gave a clear indication that further testing needed to be done. I

January 28, 2012

The Dr. was fantastic, I didn't feel like we were rushed, even though it was the end of the day on a friday!

January 21, 2012

been to a few dr.s - feel that Dr. Johnstone knows what she is doing.

January 19, 2012

I was extremely impressed with Dr. Johnstone. She was the best doctor that I have ever met with and I would highly recommend her to anyone else.

January 05, 2012

Because I'm older with a long time of not conceiving, I hope for more options. I feel like I'm just being put on the typical system as every other girl younger than me. I chose Dr. Johnstone after much research and noticed that her training was in aging ovaries. I was hoping for more information about how to deal with my age.
