Overview

I am a palliative care specialist and help support patients and their families to navigate the challenges of serious illness. As part of my role, I get to know my patients deeply and, in doing so, help support them in getting the care that aligns with who they are as a person. I help support quality of life in several different ways, including treating symptoms associated with serious illness, improving communication with health care teams, helping my patients with difficult decisions regarding their health, and supporting my patient's goals, hopes, and values. I see patients of all ages and all types of diseases but have a special interest in taking care of adolescents and young adults with cancer. I love and am grateful for the work I get to do every day and am constantly learning from my patients. In my free time, I enjoy being outdoors and spending time with my two little girls who remind me every day how special life is.

I am an adult neurologist with further specialization in neuro-oncology. I treat adult patients with central nervous system (CNS) tumors of the brain and spine. My focus is combining compassionate patient-centered care with cutting-edge research. I want my patients to not only live longer, but also live better. I encourage my patients to be open and honest with me about their symptoms so I can find ways to help them feel better while undergoing treatment. What I love most about my job is seeing the courage and strength exhibited by my patients and their families. Dr. Johnson is highly rated in 15 conditions, according to our data.
