I should have written this review directly after my experience at this office, five years ago, but its taken time and perspective for me to realize that how I was treated was genuinely not OK. I made an appointment with Dr. Johnson because a previously cracked and repaired front tooth came apart while eating cold food during a shift at work. The original crack had happened a year prior, in a bike accident. I was 19, scared, unsure of how expensive it would be, nervous about whether Id be able to keep my job since Id had to leave mid-shift, and self-conscious of the hockey-player smile I was sporting. His office was the last place I should have gone. I cant speak to the quality of the dental work, Im sure it was more than adequate, but Ive nothing to compare this procedure to. What I take issue with is the ageist and condescending manner Dr. Johnson affected, the entire duration of the appt. He insisted that I must have broken the tooth while I was intoxicated, since I was a college-age student in a town thats renowned for its binge drinking culture (never mind that I wasnt a student myself, and in fact was working full time). Every time Id start to tell him, "Well, actually..." hed cut me off, roll his eyes at me, greet my protestations with a yeah, sure, and proceed to tell story after story of college kids that came into his office with a mouth busted by a night of drinking. I could have used some reassurance and comfort on that tough day, and would have settled for someone that just did the job and didnt raise my stress levels. Instead a received a string of patronizing stereotypes that I didnt think I could remove myself from, given the nature of the break. I dont doubt the legitimacy of the testimonials on his site, Im sure hes a good dentist and that if youre over 30 hell treat you with a modicum of respect. But if youre any younger than that, count on being discounted, disbelieved, and disrespected. I still dread going to the dentist, because of this experience.

Five star rating! I have been a patient at Dr. Johnsons office for the past six years along with my husband and children. We have always been treated like famiy with respect and compassion. This might seem like your standard review comments however this is the best way to describe our true feelings. My husband and I had our children very young and have had to deal with people constantly talking down to us and judging us as parents and as a family. Dr. Johnson and his staff have never once made us feel anything but welcome. They willingly accepted us as patients and have worked with us, easing anxiety as we established good dental habits. They have provided quality work that has yet to fail. This office has always thought of us sending birthday cards, Christmas cards, buddle of joy cards and sympathy cards. They even went along with my daughters idea that Kerry was the tooth fairy as my daughter insisted she was! We plan on continuing care with Dr. Johnson until he retires! I recommend Dr. Douglas Johnson for all your dental needs!

I have known Dr. Johnson for over 25 years, both as a patient and a friend. I cannot say enough about Dr. Johnson that would do him justice as a person, but I will try. Dr. Johnson is caring, helpful, honest, trustworthy, and a great friend to all that know him. As for his practice, the office, and his staff, all I can say is “top notch”. Dr. Johnson has practiced here in the Albany/Scio areas for longer than I have known him. He has built his practice one patient at a time. He is very pleasant, funny, and always has a story to tell. The office show the amount of work that he has done over the years and his experiences. He had the building designed to his specifications to be most efficient and comfortable. The staff are always pleasant, knowledgeable, and skilled. They treat you like family, because in a way, you are. All my experience at Dr. Johnsons office have been pleasant. Even on days when I didnt feel so well, I always came out with a smile. Many thanks to Dr. Johnson and all his staff.

I highly recommend Dr Johnson He is the most gentle, kind and caring dentist. He takes a real interest in his patients well-being and happiness in the finished product. The atmosphere in his office creates a very relaxing.experience which is important to me since I see him several times each year. Dr. Johnson has carefully selected some of the finest quality people to assist him in providing first class dental services.

I became a patient of Dr. Johnsons when I was 20 and have had only positive experiences during my appointments. He has always acted in a professional and compassionate manner toward me. I went on to work for the Johnsons office for a few years and I can tell you theyre the best! I have recommended him to anyone who asks for a referral to a great dental office.

This is a very caring office, they are like a family and will do everything they can to make you feel comfortable. I have gone to Dr. Johnson for almost all his years of dentistry and I would recommend him to anyone looking for a good dentist. This office is number one in my familys book we even go out of our town to go to him.
