About Dr. Johnson

A Doctor and a Teacher

My name is Dr. Kristina Johnson. I started this practice to get back to what medicine is meant to be: a real partnership between a doctor and a patient.

My Background

I am a family doctor with many years of experience. I went to medical school in South Carolina and did my advanced training at the University of Virginia.

For more than ten years, my job was to teach other doctors. I taught them how to look at medical research and find the truth. I taught them that to be a great doctor, you must be a great scientist and a kind person.

Why I Started This Practice

In most doctors' offices, everything is rushed. There is too much paperwork and not enough time to talk. I wanted something better. I started Monroeville Direct Primary Care so I could have the time to give you my best work.

What I Believe

The Best Science: I use the latest medical facts to help you. I spend time reading the newest research so I can give you the most up-to-date care.

1. You are the Expert on You: You know your body and your history better than anyone. I am your expert partner. We work together to keep you healthy.

2. Fair Care for All: I believe every person deserves a doctor who respects them. It does not matter who you are or what your body looks like—you belong here.

3. Focusing on What Works: I look at how your body is doing on the inside (like your heart and labs) instead of just judging you by your size.
