General Info:
Dr. Johnson is a graduate of Southwest College of Naturopathic Medicine in Tempe, AZ. She received her acupuncture training from the Phoenix Institute of Herbal Medicine and Acupuncture. Prior to medical school, she received her Bachelors of Science in Life Sciences with a secondary degree in Gerontology, the study of aging. Dr. Johnson’s patients are treated individually with a combination of Bioidentical Hormone Replacement recommendations, acupuncture, nutritional supplementation, botanical medicine, dietary counseling, homeopathy, and lifestyle counseling. This unique, individualized approach is effective for improving the outcome of almost any chronic health condition because many chronic diseases simply do not respond well to simple pharmaceutical treatment.
Dr. Johnson has a passion for getting to know each and every one of her patients in order to provide the best care possible. Knowing the difference that personalized care can make, Dr. Johnson spends her inital meeting with a patient obtaining extensive background information and ordering specialized lab testing so that she can create the most effective treatment plan for each individual.
Once a treatment plan is made, Dr. Johnson utilizes natural, non-invasive therapies -- including acupuncture, botanical supplements, and hormone therapy -- to treat many common conditions such as menstrual irregularities, menopausal symptoms, depression, anxiety, obesity, infertility, low testosterone, fatigue, digestive problems, and many other chronic conditions. Dr. Johnson designs her care to be complementary to, rather than replacing, the care a patient receives from his or her physician.
She also looks closely into the symptoms and health related issues by prescribing specialized allergy labs such as the ALCAT and other more extensive labs for hormones, cholesterol/heart, diabetes, and other issues.
