    Dr. Johnstone was easy to talk to. She really listened when I spoke. She had read my chart and so it made the most of our time not having to re explain what I had previously been through. She has a calm confident manner.

    Im really grateful to have Dr. Johnstone as my doctor. She is extremely knowledgeable and has the best bedside manner of any doctor I have seen in the past 5 years. I didn't feel rushed, she was thorough in her explanations and quotes the data and studies. She was so validating of my feelings, respectful of where I am at in the process but also helped correct some misunderstandings about I had. I so appreciate hearing about the data and studies, and to not feel pressured to jump to more invasive treatments but to still get the info and her advice. She is top notch.
