Dr. Luke Johnson 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). One reason he loves taking care of children is because in treating a child, he feels that he treats the whole family. His methods to improve skin conditions include lifestyle recommendations, medicines, surgery, and laser techniques. His expertise includes common conditions, such as acne and eczema, as well as rare disorders, such as unusual birthmarks and immunodeficiency states.

I was so anxious for this appointment. I had rashes still appearing from a medication taken 3 months ago. It's affected so many places that are seen so easily....my scalp. My general eye area including my eyebrows. Below my breasts. And so many more areas that are just making my life miserable right now. In addition to the rashes I have had another condition go untreated which also affects all of this as well. Dr Johnson was so kind and patient in giving me complicated instructions and even called in an assistant so I didn't have to try and remember everything. I was so embarrassed by my skin condition and the white flakes I leave from my FACE! He told me we will figure out what is going on, and you won't be doing this for much longer. He gave me HOPE about these rashes and that he will get to the bottom of it. I feel very confident in his care.

I have scars under one arm. I asked about possible stitches. He made a comment saying "well, we shouldn't poke a sleeping bear." I guess as long as he doesn't have to live with the scars, why should he care. I felt horrible when I left.

Dr. Johnson is wonderful. He played my favorite music so that I would be relaxed before and during my procedure. He took the time to answer all of my questions. He is caring and professional.
