I find Dr Johnston to be remarkable. She is kind, smart and thorough. MGH and I are lucky to have her as a doctor.
Dr. Johnston is tremendously caring, kind and attentive to all concerns. I always feel I have her full attention and regard for any questions. I always recommend her 100% to anyone who asks, and feel privileged to have her as my PCP.
Always attention and caring. Devoted to my health and well being.
Katherine is professional and caring. I trust her completely. Not only am I lucky to have her, Mass General is as well.
Dr. Johnston reviewed my current prescriptions and a previous bone density report. She suggested an increase in my calcium intake and provided me with a list of food to assist me with increasing my calcium. This was extremely helpful.
I hope she Never leaves Mass General!!! She is the best, Caring and Professional Individual I have met.
I love Dr. Johnston. I truly feel so lucky to have her as my PCP. I believe she cares about my overall wellbeing and I really appreciate her thoughtful care and concern with regards to my health. She is also so smart and knowledgeable. I cannot say enough good things about her care.
dr. Johnston has been my internist for about 15 years. i trust her implicitly and know that i am receiving top-notch medical care from her. i will follow her anywhere! she intently listens to my concerns, evaluates both my blood work and tests in a way that i understand so that together we can make decisions for my treatment plan.
Exceptional doctor! Proactive, listens well, kind and compassionate.
