When I got the news that my longtime doctor was retiring after being my doctor for decades I was understandably concerned but trusted that the doctor he selected to take over his practice must be pretty good for him to be chosen. My trust was not misplaced. Over the subsequent years Dr. Johsens has been someone I could rely on and trust. He’s straight forward, well informed, and someone I don’… See more
Dr. Johsens has always given me conscientious care and support. He is personable and makes appointments easy and informative.
I would say that one area where he has demonstrated understanding and concern is in a condition which I have manifested for a number of years - uncontrolled shaking which comes out of nowhere, lasts an hour or so and then stops. We haven't found a solution… See more
I AM IN MY MID-LATE 70’S. LIVED ALL OVER THE COUNTRY AND HELD MANY MANAGERIAL POSITIONS. IN ALL OF THE AREAS WHERE WE LIVED, I HAD MANY DIFFERENT DOCS IN MANY DIFFERENT STATES. KARL WAS MY DOC BEFORE HE SWITCHED TO MDVIP. I STAYED WITH KARL AND IT WAS THE SMARTEST THING I EVER DID. WHEN I FOLLOW HIS ADVICE, I STAY HEALTHY. GO TO THE GYMN 3 TO 4 TIMES PER WEEK. WHEN MY SPOUSE HAD A… See more
At every visit with Dr. Johsens I feel heard. He takes the time to listen and discuss what I'm bringing to him. Last year a member of my family was in need of a PCP for help with more than one challenging health issue. When I wrote to Dr. Johsens asking for his help his response was "We will get him on the right path."
That simple sentence brought tears of relief. And that… See more
Let me begin by praising the MDVIP model. It has allowed my doctor, Dr. Karl Johsens, the luxury of having fewer patients and to be able to spend more time with each of them. It's the opposite of most doctor-patient relationships where you get a maximum of 15 minutes per visit and then you're out the door. It's a situation that benefits both the patient and the doctor. A happy… See more

I had been with my previous primary care physician for 40 years and we were traveling 3 hours to continue with our wonderful primary care physician. After my husband had a stroke, it was no longer feasible for us to continue seeing a physician 3 hours away. We heard how well Dr. Johsens communicated with patients and how thorough he was so we decided to meet with him. After meeting him, we… See more
Dr. Johsens called me about something and it was my first chance to tell him that my wife got killed. He couldn’t have been more attentive, caring, and saying the right words without being trite or maudlin. I love him.
