Doing It Differently
In 2019, my wife, Meg, and I felt called to return to Dallas to start a practice. This decision was rooted in several factors, a few being: the desire to be closer to family, the anticipation of the next chapter for our children, and opportunities to serve. Prior to establishing Johnson Oral Facial Surgery, Dr. Johnson was a partner in East Texas Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery Associates. It was a mix of excitement and trepidation that we made the difficult choice to leave a great partnership in a well established and successful practice to embark on the journey of starting Johnson Oral Facial Surgery in the heart of Dallas.
In February of 2021 we opened Johnson Oral Facial Surgery in the Park Cities. The first years were marked by rapid growth. This early growth is attributed to our exceptional team dedicated to realizing our vision.
“Our vision at Johnson Oral Facial Surgery has remained unchanged”
Our vision has remained unchanged since opening: to provide our community with the best care imaginable by prioritizing safety, leveraging the latest in technology and techniques, and assembling a team of top-tier professionals dedicated to putting the patient first.
"We Hope You Experience the Johnson Difference"
When out of the office, Dr. Johnson loves being Dad (and coach) to his five children: Hunter, Charlie, Luke, Emily, and Ben, and husband to his loving wife, Meg. His kids attend Highland Park Schools. Dr. Johnson is involved with multiple ministries at Watermark Community Church and serving in the community. He enjoys spending time outdoors and cooking, so outdoor cooking is the perfect combination!
