“Dr. Johnson was polite, caring, and decisive. He had looked at the x-rays and told me that the fall had made the arthritis inflammation very active. He did a steroid injection and is awaiting approval for gel shots from my insurance. The steroid shot has alleviated a lot of the pain, but not completely. Hopefully, the steroid shot will last long enough to get approval from the insurance company for the gel shots.”

“I met with Dr. Johnson this morning for my pre-op before surgery. I had been referred to him by another Dr in practice. He was friendly and patient. He listened to me and explained everything thoroughly. He went over each step of what he would be doing during my surgery and what to expect afterward. He was excellent, as was Dr. Archibald, who referred me to him. Nothing but great experiences with the doctors and nurses and Lindsey, his surgery scheduler. Carolina Orthopaedic & Sports Medicine has been excellent so far!”

“I had a very positive experience with Dr. Erik Johnson as my surgeon. When I met with Dr. Johnson, he listened to my story and answered all my questions. He was unequivocal in explaining my medical situation to me. I was delighted both in our pre-surgery and post-surgery office visits. The surgery went well as I am now eight weeks out post-surgery. I also want to say that my Physical Therapist Katie Piscitelli did a great job of helping me work through my rehab. She was very encouraging, precise, and supportive while at the same time, pushed me enough to where the exercises provided me maximum benefit. Both Dr. Johnson and Katie Piscitelli are quality professionals, and Carolina Orthopedic should be very proud to have them on the team!”

– Jeffrey C.
“Dr. Johnson is a caring physician.”
– Becky P.
“Dr. Johnson treated me with respect and kindness. I appreciate him for that. He listened to me when I explained that I was still in pain after the 1st surgery. He performed the 2nd surgery, which revealed the original tear was torn again, and there were more tears in my rotator cuff along with bone spurs and places that had not healed with the anchors he inserted. This was all anticipated due to my diabetes. Dr. Johnson trusted me to be a part of my healing/recovery, and I will forever be grateful for his medical expertise. I am his word-of-mouth advertisement. I only have great things to say about Dr. Johnson.”
– Lisa J.

“I'm 55 yrs old, and Dr. Johnson performed my first-ever surgery last year. I was nervous about the surgery, but nothing else was working for my shoulder pain. Dr. Johnson has a very calm, easy-going manner and went out of his way to answer my questions, which eased the anxiety. Surgery and recovery went very smoothly. That shoulder feels normal. Now I'm looking forward to having Dr. Johnson fix my other shoulder.”
