UofU Patient February 27, 2014
Dr. Johnson is very busy, but he takes the time to pay attentio0n to my needs. He washes his hands, he smiles, and makes me feel like I'm the only one there. Very knowledgeable about his subject. I would recommend him to everyone.
UofU Patient February 27, 2014Since I have had Jr Johnson as my Dr I have enjoyed his and his staffs proffesionalism.

UofU Patient October 31, 2013I have seen many doctors in my life. But none of them can even compare with Dr. Matt Johnson. He is compassionate and I know he truly is concerned with my well-being. I can't say enough good things about this man.
UofU Patient October 18, 2013Wonderfully kind and gentle fantastic bed side manners. Thorough, knowledgeable, and sanitary competent. Excellent experience
UofU Patient October 18, 2013Dr J is fantastic. I do recommend him every-time I can
UofU Patient October 18, 2013I enjoyed the Doctors kind, gentle bed side manner. He is very thorough, he asked if we had any questions and any requests he answered them and was very knowledgeable, and willing to check patient out and not by any verbal complaints, but, taking the time and examining my child before he diagnosed or answered any thoughts or possible ideas etc. We will definitely continue our pediatrician care as we have for the last 5+ years.
UofU Patient October 14, 2013Dr. Johnson is simply the best doctor I have ever had.
UofU Patient October 03, 2013Dr. Johnson always gives my husband the best care. He is one of the few doctors that understand my husband's medical problems and treats him with genuine concern. Plus, he always makes us laugh!!!!
UofU Patient September 25, 2013Dr. Johnson and all of the staff at Westridge are always very caring and friendly when I come in. The experience is always very positive!

UofU Patient June 24, 2013Dr. Johnson was amazing I was surprised and delighted he took the time to get to know us before just slapping a diagnosis. He was knowledgeable and took care of all concerns. Even took my son for stickers and walked to the exit. Best experience ever other then my family doc no one has matched his service. I will be returning to see him for my family needs!!
UofU Patient June 17, 2013Dr. Johnson is GREAT!
UofU Patient May 21, 2013Dr J is wonderful. He is so through and truely concerned about my health and me as a person. He loves being a Doctor and helping people, a great doctor. He always remembers to ask about my husband's health which reinforces to me that he cares about me as a person. I've never felt like a "number" only as a friend. It's easy to trust his knowledge. Not all doctors have this gift. We are furtunate to have him watching over us. We depend on him. Thanks
UofU Patient April 24, 2013Dr Johnson is always very friendly and always treats me for what I have come in for plus always asks if I have any other concerns. He always listens and helps and doesn't rush me out the door.
UofU Patient April 18, 2013great staff great visit every time
UofU Patient April 15, 2013Dr. Johnson is great!
UofU Patient April 09, 2013They don't come any better than Dr. Mathew Johnson
UofU Patient March 27, 2013I appreciate the time that was taken with me on one of the issues that i came in for, but there was another problem that I came in with that i would have liked to have had more time to discuss and look at different options for treatment and look at the cause of the problem rather than prescribing a prescription right away.
UofU Patient March 22, 2013I love this Dr., he is great -- not dry, boring, nor treat you like you are just another specimen or that your problems/concerns are ridiculous or whatever; Dr's get used to knowing all this stuff but so many of them blow you off so quickly as if you too are supposed to be up to the same speed as they are. Dr. Johnson has never treated me like that. He asserts his authority but with respect and deference for my concerns and with care to treat me as a real, living individual. The only feedback I marked below a 5 was because during my physical, which was almost stellar, nothing was mentioned about my blood pressure. I noticed after the visit that the paperwork showed it's still a bit high. My guess is that Dr. Johnson didn't feel it was a concern given all of my other markers were great and I have been consistently moving in the right direction for over a year (eating better, exercising, losing weight). Still, I would feel better if I knew he noticed it and wasn't too concerned about it. If the worst you can say about a Dr. is that he didn't overplay one minor condition and throw a bunch of medicine down your throat, well then this Dr. is in the the top 1% for sure. :D
UofU Patient March 22, 2013Dr. Matt Johnson is by far one of the best doctors I have ever had.
UofU Patient March 14, 2013Dr. Johnson was fabulous. I came to him as the last appointment of the day, he had not seen me before and had to get tests done etc. He was very relaxed and thorough and gave me great explanations of my test results, and advice for me. He made me feel calm and well cared for. He sent me to South Jordan for more tests and checked on my results, sent me an email checking on me and letting me know he had seen my tests. I think he is wonderful!
UofU Patient March 12, 2013Thank you, for being you, Dr. Johnson. It is wonderful to be so well cared for (and about) by my primary care physician! The combination of your medical knowledge, open communication with me, teamwork with specialists, and personality reassures me that I am in such good hands.
UofU Patient February 04, 2013At first when meeting Dr. Matthew Johnson. I was a bit off-standish because I didn't feel like he knew what he was doing. Must have been a bad day. : o ) Since then which I have had many visits, he has been a peach!
UofU Patient February 04, 2013We love Dr. Johnson!!! He is part of our family!!! He takes good care of us!!!!
UofU Patient January 17, 2013I would like to see more focus on the skill and movement well being of the kids. Not just if they are physically well. My last doctor took the time to check that they could do the talking and "playing" that they should be able to do at that age. EXAMPLE: pick up small objects, match shapes, follow instructions, copy a pattern, stack blocks,
UofU Patient January 07, 2013doctors should take into consideration that the patient knows their body and what's happening to them and how they feel probably better than the doctor.
UofU Patient December 27, 2012Dr Johnson is great

UofU Patient December 18, 2012I love Dr. Gellner! She is awesome. I can't say enough about how well she treats my family. I am grateful we found her.
UofU Patient December 04, 2012I felt somewhat rushed and only saw the physician for a few moments. I really wanted to discuss a few other things, but didn't feel I had the chance to bring it up
UofU Patient November 29, 2012After my experience using Intermountain Health Care community clinic, I made the decision to resume care under Dr. Johnson, as I value his professionalism, knowledge, care, compassion, bedside manner, etc. I just would appreciate not feeling as in any multi doctor clinic, that I'm being rushed like cattle in/out of the office.
UofU Patient November 26, 2012Makes my health issues less stressful because I have such a awesome Dr.

UofU Patient September 17, 2012I have been a patient of Dr. Johnson for some years now and I continue to be very impressed with him, his professionalism and knowledge.

UofU Patient September 10, 2012Love Dr. Johnson he is awesome
UofU Patient September 10, 2012Dr Johnson spent a good deal of time with me discussing my health concerns and helping me create a plan of attack. It's nice to feel like your important and that your provider has time for you.
UofU Patient September 03, 2012Dr Johnson is enthusiastic, friendly and courteous makes you feel that you are personally important to him.I'm glad he's not on military duty this winter.
UofU Patient September 03, 2012Great visit every time
UofU Patient August 17, 2012I was nervous seeing a new doctor because usually I have to see several before I can find one that actually seems to care at all about what I have to say. This doctor blew me away with how passionate he seemed about finding out exactly what needed to be fixed and how best to fix it, and he made sure I was with him every step of the way so that I knew exactly what steps I needed to take to get as healthy as possible.
UofU Patient August 13, 2012Dr Johnson never rushes thru my concerns
UofU Patient August 04, 2012Dr. Johnson is awesome. I have anxiety pretty badly bit I always leave there feeling a whole lot better.
