September 20, 2024UH HOSPITALS AND CLINICSDr. Johnstone was easy to talk to. She really listened when I spoke. She had read my chart and so it made the most of our time not having to re explain what I had previously been through. She has a calm confident manner.
September 14, 2024UH HOSPITALS AND CLINICSShe's so kind
June 27, 2024UH HOSPITALS AND CLINICSDr. Johnstone is amazing! She is a very caring and knowledgable physician. Because of her we have a healthy baby boy. I have always received excellent care and highly recommend her.
June 08, 2024UH HOSPITALS AND CLINICSIm really grateful to have Dr. Johnstone as my doctor. She is extremely knowledgeable and has the best bedside manner of any doctor I have seen in the past 5 years. I didn't feel rushed, she was thorough in her explanations and quotes the data and studies. She was so validating of my feelings, respectful of where I am at in the process but also helped correct some misunderstandings about I had. I so appreciate hearing about the data and studies, and to not feel pressured to jump to more invasive treatments but to still get the info and her advice. She is top notch.
May 22, 2024UH HOSPITALS AND CLINICSShe is amazing. I would recommend her to anyone who's going through the something that I'm going through. go see her , She had empathy and cared about what I went in for we need people like her'she understands . My husband and I are really appreciate her for helping us, we pray that God would work is miracles, because he had put Doctors to do his work.
April 22, 2024UH HOSPITALS AND CLINICSI found Dr. Johnstone to be very insensitive and not optimistic. I am barely 39 and other doctors I have met with are optimistic and positive - stressing that I only need one good egg. By the end of the call this doctor suggested that I could look into an egg donation from someone in their 20s. I left the call crying and felt pity rather than optimism and care. The doctor explained the IVF process well - but I felt like I was being talked to as if I was 80 years old and wanting to have a baby.
March 07, 2024UH HOSPITALS AND CLINICSThe genuine care that has been used to handle this entire situation is insurmountable. I can't thank Dr. Johnstone and her team enough for walking with us through this entire process.
February 27, 2024UH HOSPITALS AND CLINICSDr. Erica Johnstone stands out as one of the finest doctors I've ever had. Her unparalleled bedside manner, combined with a personal clinical expertise and evidence-based approach, makes her my hero. I could also gather she is a great mentor to her medical team which says a lot. I'm confident that I received the best care under her guidance.
