Philosophy of care | I treat my patients as I would like to be treated, carefully listening to their problems and concerns. As physicians, we must always do the right thing.

Surgery allows me to care for all aspects of patients, and colorectal surgery has a wide breadth of procedures and diseases, making it a fascinating field. | Community involvement | My start in medicine began as a volunteer EMT for over 10 years. I am a graduate of Lehigh University, and my wife and I have moved back to the Lehigh Valley, excited to make it our home and meet the members of this great community. | Personal interests | Outside of my medical/research interests, I enjoy spending time with my family, traveling and trying new foods. I also enjoy exercise and outdoor activities. Dr. Johns is rated as an Experienced provider by MediFind in the treatment of Ulcerative Colitis.
