Dr. Johnson and the whole staff were so kind and compassionate, I was terrified because I had very bad experiences prior to seeing him. I was greeted and treated with respect for my issues. They got me in and I had absolutely zero pain after. I just had my final exam for my placement implant and found out I needed 2 more and they contacted my provider for approval. I did have to do anything. I'm seriously looking forward to the next visits and can't thank the whole staff enough. To be pain free and able to eat again is truly blessing.

The consult was great and the dentist was very knowledgeable. I had to wait way longer than I should have to get in however they typically don't scheduled consults on Fridays and they did that for me due to my work Schedule. Thanks for the help!

I am an Army Reservist who was referred here by LHI. After my consultation with Dr. Elimon, he recommended that both my wisdom teeth be removed. When I showed up for my procedure, I found out that LHI only wanted to cover having one wisdom tooth removed. Amber, the nice lady working the front desk, called LHI and explained that I really needed to have both removed and convinced LHI to cover both wisdom teeth! She went out of her way to get me taken care of and the Docs in the back did a great job of getting my teeth out and setting me up to heal quickly!

Dr. Johnson and staff care about your overall well being and I appreciate them for that. I went in to have a wisdom tooth removed on a Friday. They were having a conversation with me and the next thing I know they're waking me up saying the procedure was done, lol. I don't even remember closing my eyes . They took great care of me though.

In my 68 years I have never met a more compassionate dentist, with a great crew to match. They make you feel like they came to work that day just for you! I needed extensive implants placed. After each procedure I got a phone call from Dr Johnson. He is kind, sensitive and caring. I can't recommend him enough!

I needed wisdom teeth extracted. One was very close to a nerve and it was a bit risky. I was extremely nervous about the procedure. I originally went to a dentist in Searcy for my initial consultation to which they referred me to another Oral Surgeon. (I won't mention their name) I will just say there were so many red flags I left the morning my surgery was scheduled. I never been so rudely treated by dental professionals before and when your trusting someone to put you to sleep and perform a surgery, the way they treat you and how they handle their business is very vital in my opinion. I called Dr. Johnson's office that day. They were so professional and got me right in. I immediately felt at ease. They were very knowledgeable and organized. Not to mention just great bedside manner all together. Dr Johnson explained everything to me in an easy way and it just flowed. I am day two after my surgery and although it's been painful I just feel he did a great job and just knew what he was doing. Office staff is just how they should be. Pleasant, kind, considerate, knowledgeable, and made it very easy. Not to mention he was $500 cheaper but the quality of care was exceptional. I'm glad I called them. Highly recommend.

This will probably get taken down but please read this! I got my wisdom teeth taken out (only had the bottom two) and it went terribly. This was like 2 years ago now. I got a dry socket right afterwards, went back two weeks later because that's when they could fit me in. Dr. Johnson said he didn't know why I was in pain. He literally didn't mention that it could be from the socket or from TMJ. Now, I have TERRIBLE TMJ and my psychiatrist/neurologist now has to help me with the aftermath. We are still trying to work on pain management for the trigeminal neuralgia due to trauma from this supposedly simple procedure. I'm 22.

Dr. Johnson is the best. I was so nervous to have my wisdom tooth pulled due to possible nerve damage. He and his entire staff made me feel so comfortable and reassured me i would be fine. Once i was fully awake (at home) i was relieved. He even called to check on me personally. Never had that happened before. I would recommend anyone to him. The entire staff is AWESOME!!!!

I was traveling and needed care while going through Arkansas. When I called to explain my situation, they got me in immediately and took such good care of me. I was truly blown away at how empathetic and helpful everyone was. I can't recommend this practice enough. It's rare to find such special people!

I absolutely love Dr. Johnson. He puts you at ease as soon as you meet him. He even called me on his way home to check on me after I got 2 wisdom teeth extracted. I didn't have any problems whatsoever. No swelling or pain either. I definitely recommend him.
