Meet Dr. Johnson
Dr. Michael Johnson is a urologist specializing in urologic oncology.
He has expertise in minimally invasive surgery for prostate and kidney cancer.
Dr. Johnson earned his medical degree from University of Washington School of Medicine in Seattle. He completed urology residency training at WashU Medicine and a urologic oncology fellowship at the Brady Urological Institute of Johns Hopkins Hospital in Baltimore.
My goal is to apply the latest discoveries to provide the best care in the world to our community. Recent advances in minimally invasive surgery make it possible for us to offer care that gets people back to living their lives with less pain and quicker recovery times.
