I've been going to Dr Johnson for over 30 years. He has always provided excellent service. Dr Johnson actually diagnosed my husband with a serious illness and saved his life. He actually listens to people and advises accordingly; he actually cares! read more

I was looking for a new Dr. In the area and got a recommendation to go to Dr. Johnson. I was not disappointed, and know I made the correct choice in choosing a dr. He is very nice, honest and cares about his patients. Highly recommend Dr. Johnson if you're looking for a great GP read more

Very down to earth. Considers the patient first vs the economics. I trust his opinion or advice.

I have been looking for a long time to find a good primary care physician. I finally found a place with both an excellent physician and a great office staff. The experience here is the exact opposite of what you typically experience with the big chains. I'm a big fan so far. read more

Just recently switched family physician and I feel lucky for finding Dr. Johnson. My previous family physician was little too relax for me given my past family history of losing my father and brother due to heart attack. That said, Dr. Johnson spent plenty of time and took detailed notes and sent me for number of test to check on various things that nobody has done for me in the past. I truly appreciate the level of care he provides and coming to find out 4 of my neighbors have been a patient of him for the longest time and super happy. I also like the fact that they provide early appointments and Sama (Dr. assistant) is so nice and very knowledgeable as well which adds to the great experience at this doctor's office. Thank you Johnson team !! Frank read more

Dr. J has been a life/game changer for me. In short, I find great relief and protection in knowing Dr. J is a phone call or office visit away. His staff is polite and responsive. He's well connected and seamlessly offers quality referral sources for specialty medical needs. We're fortunate to have Dr. Johnson in San Clemente! read more

Dr Johnson is the best doctor I've ever had. He is so helpful and personable and I love his staff. Sama is so nice to me every time I come in. He replies to my emails on the portal which means so much when I am so busy and need help or advice. The fact that Dr. Johnson takes time to to chit chat really makes a world of difference and shows that he genuinely cares about his patients. I am so thankful. read more

He is the anti-pharma doctor and will only prescribe RX when absolutely necessary. He is an excellent doctor who you can trust.

Dr. Johnson and his staff are professional, down to earth and Dr. James Johnson takes the time to really get to know his patients, explains his findings, lab and test results and finds the best treatment that fit into the patients lifestyle and needs. He takes the time to understand the patient and always open to talk to about any concerns you may have. I cannot think of a better primary care physician and staff in the South OC area. His office is conveniently located here in San Clemente off of Camino De Los Mares and easily accessible. Thank you Dr. James R Johnson and staff for being a top-notch medical provider! Give his office a call if you need a great Family Medicine provider! Well worth it! read more

Been coming to Dr. Johnson since I was a kid! Followed him throughout his moves over the last 15-20 years. I couldn't ask for a better doctor. Came in today with a same day appointment for pink eye, he was able to get me in and out within a half hour. Not only that I've got an extremely strict attendance policy where I work and he was able to fill out all the legal documentation to ensure I don't have any problems with my company. Customer service is exceptional. Plus the nurses are cute / sweet, can't complain! Dr. Johnson is thorough, friendly, has an awesome personality, and most important focused on fixing the problem at hand. I couldn't imagine choosing another doctor to go to. PS. His cash visits are extremely affordable. read more

Dr. James R. Johnson has been the doctor for both my husband and I for quite some time. We have been very pleased with having him as our general physician. I have recommended him to friends who also have been very pleased with having Dr. Johnson as their general physician. We give him the highest recommendation possible. We are fortunate to have him in San Clemente. read more

Dr Johnson is great, but the office manager is not. After several request for medical records to another doctor, she finally hung up on me. Then I called back to get access to the portal to contact Dr. Johnson myself. That is the only way the office manager would let me speak to Dr. Johnson and report the trouble i am having getting my records. I did get access to the portal, but within 10 minutes of composing and sending an email to Dr. Johnson, my access was deleted (received an email). Not likely a coincidence. I would find another doctor until he replaces his office manager, who still hasn't given me her name. read more

Dr. Johnson (my new PCP) delivers an outstanding level of care by combining an impressive medical experience and acumen (from years of practice) with the most recent, commonsense preventative treatment strategies. His communication skills are superior and he never appears to be rushed during a visit. His preference is to attempt conservative treatment (e.g. dieatary/lifestyle changes) before resorting to the latest-greatest Rx. His staff is equally competent and extremely personable. In a world where we constantly encounter apathy and even incivility from our service providers, it is very nice to be greeted with a genuine smile, eye contact and a friendly "hello". His office is well apointed and conveniently located with ample parking. I am very happy to have found this practice and am equally happy to offer this endorsement. read more

I'm not a fan of going to the doctor, but if I have to Dr. Johnson is a good choice. The reason i give him 5 stars is because he goes over and above the norm. He listens carefully and his plan of attack at the conclusion of the appointment is very unique, he includes ideas such as his healthy oatmeal recipe, vegetables to buy organic and much more. Dr. Johnson is a nice guy who doesn't appear rushed and seems to really care about his patients. read more

Dr Johnson is fine, but his front office staff is rude and unprofessional. I called to question insurance coding on a bill and was told more or less to pound sound. I'd avoid going here based on the office staff alone. read more

I had a great experience at this doctors office. The staff is super friendly and professional. I felt like they really took care of me. If your looking for a family Practicioner I highly recommend them. read more

My parents and I have been seeing Dr. Johnson for years and would not have it any other way. He is extremely knowledgeable in all aspects of care. He is an excellent listener and actually takes the time to have a conversation with you. He is very progressive in conservative care and his first choice is never to shove medications down your throat. The exit packet he handed me on my most recent visit was dedicated solely to healthy living through nutrition, exercise and lifestyle choices. My parents moved to Arizona over two years ago and I have not seen him in this time until this past week and he made the effort two times throughout our session to be sure that I said hello to my parents for him who he had not seen in probably three to four years, but knew that they moved out of state so this was very little of a marketing move... He actually cares to build real relationships with his patients. I now live in Newport but I will travel 45 mins to see him because he is the best around and I have no desire to see anyone else. read more

We just moved to San Clemente and my husband needed a new dr. Dr Johnson was highly recommended rightfully so. Office is immaculate, quick and punctual appointments and great referrals to specialists when needed. In his first appointment Dr Johnson found 3 hernias he didn't even know he had when some stomach pain had started. Quickly referred to surgeon across the hall who does robotic surgery and now they're gone. Great doctor great facility! read more

My family has been seeing Dr. Johnson for more than 25 years. Every time he moved, we moved with him. He is caring, he shows honest concern about your health and you as a person. My adult children continue to see him. We trust him! Everyone in his office is kind and easy going. We highly recommend Dr. Johnson. read more

I recently changed general family doctors to Dr. Johnson. I was reluctant to change because my old doctor knew my issues. But she was no longer in my insurance plan. I decided to try Dr. Johnson and after 3 visits I'm very pleased with his approach and his effort in understanding my condition. I will continue to go to him. read more

Was referred to him by my Dentist Dr Collins Harrell a few years ago. Jim is great. We appreciate how accessible and personable he is and his ability to get us the care we need. read more

I was so pleased to get a same day appointment! Called 7 other Dr's office in the area and none of them were able to accommodate us. Olivia asked what the issue was and when I told her she put me on hold and said, yes come in today. Very friendly and professional. read more

Dr. Johnson is the best, we are 20 year patients. Can't say as much for the staff, I left 4 messages in 2 days and didn't receive a return call. I'm pretty sure that he would return a call if he received the message. read more

Family practice at its best. Dr. Johnson is attentive and seems to care about my family (all 5 of us) as individuals, not just as patients. He takes the time to find out how we are personally, not just what is ailing us at that very moment. We appreciate his personal touch to medicine. read more
