About Lisa Johnston, MD
I became a physician because I wanted to help people. I enjoy the challenge and find the work fulfilling. I believe in patient-centered care. I take the time to listen to your OBGYN issues and work with you to find a solution. I enjoy taking care of women from adolescence through menopause and providing continuity of care. My favorite areas of OBGYN are high-risk obstetrics and minimally invasive surgery and have been designated a Surgeon of Excellence in Robotic Surgery by the Surgical Review Corporation. Outside of work I have three children of my own who keep me very busy. I am athletic and enjoy running, golfing, beach volleyball and basketball.

My experience with Dr. Johnston has been incredible from the start. To say she changed my life is an understatement. I have felt amazing since my procedure and was educated and informed along the way. I now experience no pain. I am active again, and healthier than ever. I used to go to the ER frequently and need multiple visits with my doctor. Since the procedure and working with Dr. Johnston I haven't needed to do that and I feel incredible. Thank you Sharp and thank you Dr. Johnston!
