Patient Reviews
Aug 11, 2025
Dr. Johnston is the BEST! He immediately had me feeling at ease and like I was part of the family. He was my surgeon for my bilateral mastectomy due to breast cancer. I couldn’t have been happier with the results (along with the collaboration of PRMA Plastic Surgery). He also installed my port for my chemotherapy. I truly believe I was meant to be in San Antonio during this difficult time so that I had the opportunity to receive the best of care from him. I highly recommend Dr. Johnston!
