The program
What this is
Surgery is a tool, not a default. Dr. Johnson's surgical practice is built on a simple contract: you'll hear a clear case for why an operation will help you, what the alternatives honestly offer, and exactly what recovery asks of you — before anything is scheduled.
When surgery is the answer, it's performed with modern techniques — arthroscopic and minimally invasive wherever the problem allows — supported by multi-modal pain protocols and rehabilitation planned before the first incision.
This program fits if…
- You've been told you need surgery and want a clear explanation of why — or whether
- Non-surgical care has genuinely run its course
- You have a structural problem — torn ligament, unstable joint, displaced fracture — that biology won't fix alone
- You want a surgeon who plans the recovery as carefully as the operation
What to expect
Your path through the program
- 01
Evaluation & candid indication
A thorough exam and imaging review ends in a straight answer: what's wrong, what surgery offers, and what it doesn't.
- 02
Preparation
Optimization before surgery — strength, medical readiness, expectations — because recoveries are won before the operation.
- 03
The procedure
Modern anesthesia, minimally invasive technique where appropriate, and pain protocols that minimize opioids.
- 04
Structured recovery
A written, milestone-based rehabilitation plan with scheduled checkpoints — you always know what phase you're in and what comes next.
