Providence Patient
Dr Jonston is very good with his job. He has a lot of experience in his field.
Providence Patient
I have an issue that is not "right" that brought me to this doctor. He was thorough and ran tests to ensure I was "healthy" but the cause of the issue was not discovered and therefore not discussed. I had to restate my question regarding about how to proceed if the original issue occurred again 3 times before he actually stopped auto mode and answered my question. (He is knowledgeable and kind, but he clearly has trouble slowing down and listening.) I self-advocate, so I pretty much made him answer my question.On my 1st visit, I also asked about a possible chronic medical issue that I likely have and my daughter does have. My daughter's cardiologist prescribed medicines because her condition is severe - and the meds have been life changing. He offered to order a tilt test (which is incredibly uncomfortable, and unnecessary if I don't have orthostatic issues) but henever offered to check my orthostatic. He states that If I have the chronic Issue, he would just tell me to drink lots of water and eat salt, and I'm already doing that. Again - I did not feel like he was addressing my concerns. Side note - one of the symptoms of this chronic issue POTS - is exercise intolerance and elevated heart rate. I went to see him because after exercising, my Apple Watch notified me that my heart rate was elevated at [ID] during r for three days.
Providence Patient
I have absolute respect for and trust in Dr. Johnston.
Providence Patient

I have been seeing Dr. Johnston yearly since my angioplasty stent placement in 2015 and he always asks how I am feeling and checks my heart and lungs with a stethoscope. He changed my cholesterol medicine from Atorvastatin to Repatha as I complained of muscle weakness and had tests done that showed I was having serious problems with the statin. He definitely listens and takes good care of me.

My Doctor is so easy to talk too , it's like talking to a friend .
Providence Patient
No serious complaints. He just talks very fast using medical or body function terms that I'm not that familiar with. He'd explain if I asked for it but it would be nice if he'd slow down a bit and explain in laymen's terms. Overall I'm satisfied.

Providence Patient
I do like my cardiologist I just wish he will spend more time with me so I can ask more questions
Providence Patient
Although I had an unusually long wait in the exam room, my doctor was highly apologetic, explaining that the patient ahead of me had some unusual issues to address, which I understood and about which I was not upset. It is actually good to know that if I ever require extra time at my appointment, my doctor is personally concerned enough about each individual patient that he will spend extra time with me, as well. He is not a "cookie cutter" doctor!!!!
