I cannot stress enough the amount of pain that this dr.'s negligence has caused me. I went in to get a prescription for topical cold sore cream. I made it VERY clear that I have lyme disease, am undergoing treatment for it, & am in the midst of an incredibly painful die-off & could not possibly handle anything that made me feel worse.Knowing this, the doctor INSISTED that I needed pills for the cold sore, not the normal topical cream. I questioned her repeatedly about side effects, interactions, etc. She assured me endlessly that it was safe, there were no contraindications and NO side effects. Then last night I got a headache so bad I cried hysterically for hours, writhing nonstop in pain. I also vomited repeatedly. So what does the info for the prescription she gave me say? "Headache, nausea, vomiting," of course!! And what of contraindications with other meds? Don't even take ibuprofen with it. Cherlin Johnson was either trying to kill me, or a complete and total moron.

outstanding doctor. Had seen Cedar sinai staff for many days (where I am on the board so I got good service) and they couldn't figure out what was wrong with me. Dr. Johnson, spent one hour with me and after two days came back with the correct diagnosis. Very bright and industrious. a little young but she has more energy than older doctors and is certainly less jaded. I have recommended all of my employees go there. Nurses were terrific. Front desk staff were mediocre but I think that's true at most medical facilities.

Worse experience ever at a doctor's office. All she is interested in is whether you use her services.

Extremely knowledgeable and friendly. I went to her because I had been sitting in the Cedars-Sinai emergency room for six hours with horrible nausea and I kept having to go to the restroom to vomit. Finally one of the nurses must have taken pity on me because she pulled me aside and said it might be another six hours before I would be seen and that I should go down the street to Dr. Johnson. As soon as I got to Dr. Johnson's office, I was immediately taken into a comfortable room by a nurse. Dr. Johnson came in about a minute later, did an examination, gave me a pill, and hooked me up to an IV. Then the nurse came back with some magazines and I read Us Weekly for the next half hour. Dr. Johnson checked on me twice in that period of time, and in a half hour I was feeling near normal. I went home and took a nap and woke up feeling perfect. And to think I would have been waiting in the Cedars ER for another 4 hours just to be seen. Dr. Johnson comes highly recommended.

Awesome doctor. She really listens to her patient thoroughly and explains her diagnosis very well. She works at a comprehensive clinic. There is also a sports medicine doctor on site. They also have a chiropractor and physical therapists on-site. Dr. Johnson is very knowledgeable and patient. I would recommend her to anyone!

Amazing. Spends a lot of time and really explains and tries to aid in prevention of illness before it arrives. She's friendly and a pure expert. Her whole office is filled with E.R. doctors and they can treat almost any emergency. They also have a chiro and physical rehabilitation unit. I and my wife go and we are very impressed. Life changing. Highly recommended.
