My Philosophy and Approach to Wellness...

Human beings were created for a purpose; I have found mine in the art and science of medicine. It is my life's passion and privilege to practice as an internist dedicated to restoring the art to clinical medicine. The most enjoyable aspects of practicing medicine for me are developing relationships with my patients to maintain their health, helping direct them toward wellness by intimate knowledge of their medical risks and problems, and helping them understand these in a straightforward way to either restore their wellness or help them adapt to a better quality of life.

Testimonials from patients of Dr. Johsens

from Patria in CA March 11, 2024 for Karl K. Johsens, MD

As a retired eighth grade teacher, I am totally aware of the importance of listening.
Dr. Karl Johsens is the best listener I have ever encountered in the medical world.
He is always up to date on all of my meds and conditions and is very good at explaining details.
While he is usually entering things into his computer while I am talking to him he is also immediately

After 25 years with a physician in Mountain View, I relocated to Santa Cruz County and found Dr. Johsen’s. I have a few health issues and in our first meeting he said he would like to see me at least monthly for the first few months. It was his interest in getting to know me and my personal history. I think we met 4 or 5 times in that first 6 months. I was/am very impressed with his personal… See more

Dr. Johsens has been extremely helpful during my recent health crisis. He is knowledgeable about treatment procedures, and medications, which has made a big difference in my recovery. Thank you, Dr. Johsens.

from Dave in CA February 25, 2024 for Karl K. Johsens, MD

Caring, thoughtful, takes his time to explain your options.

from Chris in CA February 12, 2024 for Karl K. Johsens, MD

My wife and I are so grateful to have personalized healthcare by a Doctor who is able to take the time to provide top quality care.
So many of our friends get cursory care. Not getting thoughtful answers to questions, no curiosity just push them along….on to the next patient.
Dr. Johsens has never done that, even if he can’t pinpoint a specific diagnosis, he never stops probing,… See more

from Arthur in CA February 12, 2024 for Karl K. Johsens, MD

My Doctor recomened I see an orthopedic surgeon who specializes in knee and hip replacement. It was a great choice. Surgery was swift and without complications. Recovery was rapid and I regained full pain free function. Ali my other problems have handled by him with excellent results. I hope he does not retire for a good long time.

from Virginia in CA February 10, 2024 for Karl K. Johsens, MD

It’s a new world since Dr. Johsen became my Doctor! No more needing to be seen and given an appt two months later or go to the emergency room. My Doctor talks to me, explains thoroughly, making sure that I understand what he’s sharing. It’s unusual, and wonderful. His office staff actually knows my name, and I know theirs. And! He listens. It’s a new world. And I’m grateful! 

from MARY in CA February 10, 2024 for Karl K. Johsens, MD

I moved to CA in 1990. I was treated for NH lymphoma and dermatomyositis at age 29 and having worked in a cancer center for 10 years after that I was aware of how important it was for me to find the right doctor. I did. Dr. Karl Johsens has seen me through so much since then-emergency gall bladder surgery, pancreatitis and recently another cancer diagnosis requiring more chemo and radiation… See more
