Patient Reviews
Jun 21, 2021
After having a horrible experience with a verbally and emotionally abusive, so-called double vision "expert" at another eye care clinic in Stow, I was lucky enough to find Dr. Johnston. Pam and the other techs I saw were especially kind and patient. I was there two and a half hours, but waited no more than ten minutes between tests and exams. I found Dr. Johnson to be calm, understanding, willing to answer my questions and extremely knowledgeable about my condition. He actually talked to me about his diagnosis as opposed to the "expert" telling me my options were "death or surgery". Fortunately, he was wrong and I feel very comfortable in Dr. Johnston's care. I highly recommend Dr. Johnston and the staff at Novus.
