Luke Johnson, MD
Luke Johnson, MD, is a dermatologist with special training in pediatric dermatology, though he sees both adult and pediatric patients. He believes that his role as a doctor is to advise patients (and parents) on what he thinks would be the best course of action, and the final decision should be made jointly by both physician and patient (or parent).
