    Dr. Johns is incredibly personable! It really did feel like she cared about me as a patient, even if we only talked for an hour and I might not see her for the surgery until a year from now. She gave me a mirror and then helped me understand what procedures she recommended, and how they would help me achieve my surgery goals. That, plus seeing some of her before-and-after photos, gave me a LOT of confidence in her capabilities as a plastic surgeon. I walked in nervous and dejected, and I walked out excited for this surgery in a year or so. I literally recommended Dr. Johns to a friend of mine after she showed me her work. Highest recommendations!
