Dr Johns saw my husband when he came from A&E to gastroenterology. As far as I can tell, Dr Johns grasped the situation. She asked me what I knew of the situation (I was my husband's carer). She listened attentively and professionally. She ordered relevant investigatory tests as soon as she saw him. Within two days, she knew the results and had discussed them with the multidisciplinary team. As soon as she could, she took me aside to tell me the sad news discreetly and sympathetically.

After 2 months of being Dr Johns “patient” I’ve still not seen, heard, or spoken to her. I had appointment scheduled with her today at 3 pm, was early, checked in to find out it’s been cancelled. I’ve been in great pain and distress this entire time and have begged to see or speak to her or any other GI doctor only to be told I’m under Dr Johns care and that speaking to her isn’t possible. I had to go to hospital for a blood transfusion where I was told by the ER doctor that it looked like I had colitis and they would need to do mri/endoscopy to make sure. Dr Johns prescribed me plenvu as a bowel prep for the colon/gastroscopy. About 15-30 minutes after taking the plenvu I thought I was going to die. My guts were writhing with a burning stabbing pain and I couldn’t get off the floor. I was in tears. I eventually got sick and purged the plenvu from my system and things calmed down to pre-plenvu pain levels. I looked plenvu up online, on the first page of info it said to not take it if you had colitis as it could be fatal. I believe it. The ER doctor, whom I guess was Dr Johns’ original and only source of information, as well as my GP and another doctor, all suspected I had ulcerative colitis. Then, when it was time to reschedule my appointment I was nervous about the bowel prep they were prescribing. I told the secretary about my experience, because the secretary is the only person I ever got to speak to. I was told that, “oh, no, Dr Johns thinks you have Crohn’s disease, not colitis.” How convenient. Funny that they would never tell me what they suspected before that terrible reaction. I’ve had it with Dr Johns. I’m happy the other reviews on here have been good. I’m glad those people got the help they needed. But, I’ve been rescheduled now, again, and I’m so mad at the thought of having to ask this person for help that I’ve decided to go private. Simply because there’s no way I’ll be able to temper my anger enough to convey what I would need to. It will end up costing me a lot of money and loads of time in pain waiting for this person, and I can’t do it anymore. I hope the rest of you have better luck.

I saw Dr Johns for the first time this morning. She was very caring, listened and asked lots of questions, I felt she gave me plenty of time to go through a recent procedure and I was given time to ask questions. Dr Johns provided further follow-up procedures to ensure everything possible that could be investigated, should be, without me having to ask what's next. Dr Johns is very efficient and she explains her feedback in very easy to understand terminology. I have Crohn's Disease, but I went with another GI problem I have had for a few months. Dr Johns was able to confirm they would treat the current issue separately from Crohn's, making the procedures in the near future more relevant to the current problem I've been experiencing. Dr Johns takes time to ensure you have all the information required before you leave. I have had a very positive experience today with Dr Johns, I very much appreciate her dedication to my recent GI problems as well as looking further into previous (Crohns) condition. A very big thank you to Dr Johns.

I spent a week in Stoke Mandeville hospital following a gastric bleed which also identified cardiac issues. Dr. Johns was the epitome of a Healthcare professional. Natural empathy, asks targeted and relevant questions, actively listens, totally understanding of payients' discomfort and speaks to people in an adult-to-adult way but also in a way that makes the complex simple. She also demonstrates appropriate assertiveness by exercising her specialist knowledge and expertise to find solutions. She also excels in providing options rather than just imposing pre-made decisions. Anyone coming under the care of Dr. Johns will receive the best possible care.

Elected not to have pain reducing medication during colonosopy. The procedure was quite manageable despite this thanks to Dr Emily Johns.
