"I would not trust Dr. Josh Johnson especially. He is very condescending and unable to help with simple requests to help patients. My friend asked him to simply write a letter for insurance that would take 5 minutes and he refused twice."
— LocalityBiz review"Worst service ever! I went in to my referral appointment with a hurt knee that two other Sanford doctors said was not bone related. To be told by Dr. Herman's nurse that I needed an x Ray. When I asked why she rolled her eyes and got snotty with me saying "because the doctor wants an X-ray!""
