She was honest about how much something would hurt. The operation she carried out resulted in a good result and a minimal scar.

I have had wonderful treatment from Mrs Johnson. The procedure that was carried out on my finger successfully cured the pain in the joint. I am very pleased with the result and hope it will last. She assured me that if the pain came back I could have another injection. Eventually if necessary she could remove the ugly lump on the joint. On my follow up appointment I was seen promptly and we discussed my results. She spent time to explain in enough detail for me to understand what had happened in the joint in relation to the shrinking of the cartilage and how the bones rub together and cause the pain. She had time for me. I cannot think of anyway that my treatment from the first consultation, to the procedure and the follow up could have been better. Thank you Mrs Johnson.

She is one of the best doctor/consultant that I have met. Her interest is genuine and her care exemplary. She took the time to thoroughly explain everything she was doing to me and why it was necessary.She is kind, gentle and very skilled. The aftercare I received was second to none. She made me feel that I was important to her and that she was very concerned that I achieved 100% recovery and she would do her utmost to ensure this happened. Really really lovely lady and excellent surgeon and doctor. Highly recommend her.

Thank you so much for your very kind and generous words. I am so glad that I made you feel more at ease at a time that can be extremely alien and stressful to patients. I wish you the best for your recovery. Riem

Dr Johnson has been amazing throughout my treatment from start to finish. She listened with genuine care and interest at my very first appointments with her. She offered immediate pain relief treatment on our first meeting which allows me time to wait for a slot for surgery on my hand for Trigger finger, which was very painful. My surgery was done and actually fun with her great confident relaxed nature and the great team she had assisting her. Very grateful for her care and service, more staff of this level would be an asset to the service as she is. Regards Ian Hanness

Dr Johnson has changed my life with the carpal tunnel syndrome surgery performed on my left wrist. From having endless sleepless nights and excruciating pain, the surgery has dramatically changed my body and mind. I can now perform normal everyday tasks that before I couldn’t. Dr Johnson is by far the most empathetic, proactive and professional doctor I have had the pleasure of being treated by!! I am afraid of having the right wrist operated on, but Seeing Dr Johnson today has reassured me and put my mind at ease. I want to sincerely thank Dr Johnson and the NHS for helping me, and do appreciate these services, which, without, I would still be suffering from a greatly debilitating condition. Yours sincerely, Stephen Hogg

Response from Mrs Riem Johnson

Dear Mr Hogg Thank you for your kind words. Carpal tunnel syndrome can be very debilitating and the surgery usually gives significant relief. I am delighted that your surgery was a success and that you have been able to resume your every day activities and sleep! May the other side be just as successful. Kind regards Riem Johnson
