About Lisa A. 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.

Dr. Johnston was wonderful! It was my first visit and she took a lot of time to listen to all of my questions and health concerns and talked through all of them. For anyone looking for an OB/GYN who can talk you through all your peri-menopause questions, I definitely recommend Dr. Johnston!!
