I had a very disappointing experience with Dr. Johansen. During my appointments, I felt that very little effort was made to investigate what was actually causing my condition. The visits felt rushed, and after only a few minutes, I was prescribed medications, including a shampoo and body wash, without any thorough evaluation or testing.
When the medications did not work, I had to return for a second appointment, bringing my two-month-old baby with me. I was hoping for answers and a more in-depth investigation, but instead, I felt dismissed. Whenever I asked questions about what could be causing my symptoms, I received very little explanation and was simply prescribed another medication. Unfortunately, that medication did not work either.
After two appointments of frustration, I decided to switch to another clinic. The difference was incredible. The new provider took the time to listen to my concerns, thoroughly investigate my symptoms, and order an ultrasound. They were able to identify the actual cause of my condition and provide an effective solution. For the first time, I felt heard and cared for as a patient.
Based on my experience, I would encourage others to be cautious. I felt that my concerns were not taken seriously, and there was little interest in finding the root cause of my condition. Patients deserve providers who listen, investigate thoroughly, and focus on finding answers rather than simply prescribing medications and moving on.
