Comments: Dr Johnson is a wonderful doctor! After listening to me describe the issues I was having with my back and going over my MRI with me, he told me that he could do a minimally invasive surgery on my back. The first doctor I saw was at Hoag in Irvine and he told me he would have to do a full open back surgery and that I had a 50 - 70% chance of improvement. Dr. Johnson told me I would have an 80% chance of improvement. It's been 3 months since I had surgery and I feel like a new person!
