About Eric M. Johnson, MD

I believe practicing personalized medicine includes a partnership between doctor and patient – a partnership based on mutual trust and respect that is earned, not automatically given. As an MDVIP-affiliated family medicine physician, I have more time to develop closer relationships with my patients, review their records and discuss their health beyond their immediate needs. Being your personal doctor, we can work as a team, and I can help formulate an action plan as you work toward your health goals. In my opinion, there is no one-size-fits-all approach to care, and I believe patients deserve more individualized care.

My practice can focus on you and how we can help as you pursue a happier, healthier future. With nearly 20 years of experience in the community, I have relationships with many specialists. In addition to primary care, I have interests in cardiovascular health, diabetes, hypertension, mental health and preventive medicine. And My MDVIP-affiliated practice offers services, including comprehensive, advanced health screenings and diagnostic tests, that go far beyond those found in concierge medicine practices.

I see patients throughout the Lincoln and Omaha, Nebraska, areas. I am an attending physician at CHI Health St. Elizabeth and Bryan Health. I can visit you in the hospital and participate in inpatient care as well. I look forward to working with you to help you pursue your health goals.

So refreshing to have a Doctor who takes the time to deep dive into your medical issues and focus on problem solving plus coaching on preventive care

Also like the time he spends talking to your specialists care and issues

Spending the money on a concierge doctor is one of my best investments I have ever made.
Dr Johnson is super smart , cares about his patients and very inquisitive.

You owe it to yourself and your family to meet with him and discuss how he can help you live a healthier live

If you are looking for a doctor to take the time, care and listen, Doctor Johnson is the best. I can’t say enough how great it feels to not be a number and pushed through appointments. He has taken the time to find alternatives and work through the options together. I strongly urge anyone who values true care to meet with him and his great staff

Update: Doctor Johnson’s care and responsiveness is second to none. He and his staff have gone above and beyond to keep me healthy during a very challenging time. Please consider trying Dr. Johnson as your provider. You will not be disappointed!

I was with Dr. Eric Johnson for nearly 20 yrs. He knew me, my family, had great manner and made me feel safe, heard, and valued.
Until he didn’t. This year (2024) he switched to a VIP concierge practice that thumbed its nose at that long history for so many of his patients evidently to take in bigger bucks, as now if you wish to see him you must pay to play well above and beyond your insurance costs. A family is an over $2k annual payment to be a member. It’s insulting and outrageous. I thought of Dr. Johnson as the one trusted constant as I went through a bout of cancer in 2020. He was the one person to know my full history and make me feel he cared about my concerns in light of my history. And now that is gone. I feel he should be ashamed of himself. Disgraceful.

Frequently Asked Questions

Doctors who operate in the MDVIP models typically see far fewer patients than traditional primary care doctors. That gives them more time to develop deeper doctor-patient relationships that can lead to better outcomes. They can also offer conveniences that most primary care doctors can’t, including same- and next-day appointments. They’re available after hours for urgent matters. And they have time to focus on prevention. That focus begins with the MDVIP Wellness Program, which patients pay for with their annual membership fee.

Most MDVIP-affiliated primary care practices accept insurance (your physician can tell you whether they accept your specific insurance plan). Your annual fee pays for preventive care medical services that insurance usually doesn’t cover (e.g., advanced diagnostic testing and screenings). Your MDVIP-affiliated physician will continue to bill your insurance and charge copays, co-insurances and deductibles as he or she currently does for other medical services like sick visits.

MDVIP makes wellness and prevention easier by providing your physician with innovative tools and technology. MDVIP supports your physician’s practice and seeks to eliminate barriers to a positive healthcare experience. Your doctor will determine whether and how to incorporate these tools at his/her discretion.
