    I have been lucky enough to have Dr. Johnson as my doctor for almost 15 years. She is the best doctor I have ever seen. She is thoughtful, kind, knowledgeable and an all around excellent physician. With her guidance and excellent care I have lost 133 pounds, and have kept it off for 2 years. I recommend her to everyone I know if they ask about my weight loss.

    Dr. Johnsen is an excellent physician. She listens with care and prescribe a plan of action that meets my needs, not based on standard recommendations. She is one of the top three best health care providers who has treated me.

    Dr Johnson is always attentive, concerned, and provides useful advice on available treatment and resources. She met with me and my wife and carefully described medication and other aspects of treatment. My wife is a nurse and was also impressed by Dr Johnson's knowledge and kindness. My favorite physician!

  • About Kristen Johnson, MD

    Dr. Johnson is interested in obesity, metabolic syndrome, diabetes and other insulin resistance-related metabolic disease. She enjoys working with women on lifestyle approaches to improve fertility, polycystic ovarian syndrome and menopausal changes. Dr. Johnson loves anything outdoors: downhill skiing, hiking and she is working on running. Other favorites are traveling, reading, cooking, knitting, yoga and meditation. She has two growing boys, and their care and feeding is quickly becoming another specialty.

    Philosophy of care

    There is no one-size-fits-all approach to obesity and its complications. Every person has their own story of weight, and how it has impacted their life and relationships. I prioritize understanding that story in developing an evidence-based treatment plan for patients.
