Orlando Plastic Surgery Associates

My husband suggested that I consider abdominoplasty to fix the ravages of a “t” cut C-section and carrying a big baby (10 pounds). I didn’t want to do this because I was scared, since it is major surgery and also because of the high cost to our family. My husband and I decided that it is worth the cost to prevent further health problems and to better my self-esteem. I started interviewing several surgeons, giving a deposit to one of them. A neighbor mentioned Dr. Johnston earlier on, but I was tired of giving up my time and meeting and discussing and getting naked for an assessment. Something told me to meet him, so I called and got a very quick and convenient appointment. Dr. Johnston’s thorough explanations, his concern for his patients, his innovative procedures to help his patients heal better and reduce pain, his staff, his friendliness and his honesty made me question whether I should lose my deposit with the other surgeon or not. His quote was higher than the other surgeon, but I was so much more comfortable and trusted Dr. Johnston, that I forfeited my deposit. And it was worth it! Dr. Johnston never let me down! I felt as if the office was open just for me. He and his staff made me feel special and taken care of all the time. Previous to the surgery, they gave me a lot of written information, prescriptions in advance, and answered all my questions. After the surgery, Dr. Johnston visited me and made sure that he answered all my questions. I’ve seen him very frequently at his office for follow-up appointments and has answered every single concern I’ve had. I feel that he is a person that I trust and I can call a friend. more

Dr Johnston has been appointed “Best Plastic Surgeon” by the Orlando Magazine for ten consecutive years. As a very satisfied client, I know how much he deserves this acclaim. I have had two procedures performed by DJ. He “ironed out” my facial wrinkles by means of a chemical peel, which was done with great skill. Before the procedure, performed under anesthetic, he explained my options and their various benefits. He was happy to reinforce these facts and recommendations as often as necessary, until I was certain I was choosing the right option. The opportunity was frequently given to ask questions and make an informed decision. The option which was decided on is not one to be taken by the faint-hearted but has been worth the discomfort experienced. I have been transformed from looking like a wrinkled old lady to appearing as a smooth skinned middle aged person. My before and after photographs are available for prospective patients to view. The psychiatric effect has been an added bonus! Dr Johnston’s post-operative care is second to none. I cannot speak highly enough of him and his team, consisting of his wife who is an RN and who manages the practice and four delightful girls who all work as a team and give excellent care and attention. Since my facial transformation, I have had IPL light treatment for the brown sun and age spots on my hands, another successful procedure. I would not hesitate to consult Dr Johnston again for any future procedures I may choose to have performed and I can, most certainly, recommend him to you. more

My life changed forever when Doctors had to perform a mastectomy on my right breast. I was left to cope with fear of cancer and the way it had left me. There are no other words for it but to say that I was deformed and left feeling less than a woman. My weight and age had made my left breast over-sized and hanging to the middle of my abdomen. The day I was waiting to leave for home after my surgery, Doctor Johnston stopped to say hello and told me to come and see him after my chemotherapy. More than a year later, feeling depressed, over weight, and not complete, I walked into his office. He, along with his wife and staff of the most kind and caring people, began to rebuild my life. He not only gave me back my femininity and completed my body; he gave me back my life. Through his encouragement and tough love talks I enrolled into college and obtained a bachelor degree in criminal law. I now work for Homeland Security and I have lost over 25 pounds. I smile now and I am out there life to my fullest. Words could never say what he has done for me, and I thank him, his wife, and staff with all my heart. more

Why did you choose Dr. Johnston? When I went in for my consultation I felt comfortable with Dr. Johnston. Plus I had a friend that just went through surgery with him and she had great results...How do you feel about your results? Very, Very, Very Happy with my results, I recommend Dr. Johnston to all my friends that are Moms for their Tummy Tuck needs. more

am very thankful that I was recommended to your facility. I appreciate all of the individual attention and time that was given to me. Everyone is very nice and caring. I feel that i was thoroughly taken care of. I have nothing but wonderful things to say about Dr. Johnston and his staff! I feel great with my results. more

My surgeon recommended that I see Dr. Johnston. Originally I was going to see and consult with other Plastic Surgeons, but after meeting Dr. Johnston I was so impressed with Dr. Johnston, I did not feel that a second consult was necessary! Dr. Johnston answered all our (my husband was very involved) questions took time to teach and explain everything to us. He and his staff did not rush us , made us feel very comfortable and did not make us feel like we were a bother to him. I am very pleased with my results from my procedures and highly recommend him to all my family and friends. I only wish that Dr. Johnston, Kathy and all the staff, could meet all my medical needs. Dr. Johnston is one in a billion! more

This comes as a thank you with all my heart to Dr. johnston, who is a very dedicated physician. As you are aware, Dr. johnston did not treat me for the Active and Deep FX Laser, as I was treated elsewhere. Although the care and concern at that facility was genuine, healing was not forthcoming nor was the expertise to remedy the situation. I wanted an second opinion..It was very difficult to find a physician with this particular laser experience or a physician who would see me to give advise to another physician patient...Thank goodness, Dr. Johnston agreed to see me. He literally saved my face and neck area. His knowledge was apparent as he immediately knew what the problem was and how to correct it! Listening to his advice, the second day home I already felt relief. Dr. Johnston took the time to answer all my concerns and offered to follow up in two weeks. At that visit, Dr. Johnston explained because of the cream prescribed early on, there are some cycles to the healing that still have to cycle out. However, because of Dr. Johnston's advice and brilliance my face is visibly 1000% better ...There are no words that can fully express my appreciate for all that you have done for me. Thank you Dr. Johnston for taking care of me and fixing me. I highly recommend Dr. Dean Johnston, he is a caring expert,a down to earth man, simply a remarkable doctor. And Kathy, may I add the staff is also friendly, efficient and considerate. Thank you too for all your assistance.Peace and blessings. more

Thank you so much for your care and support during my recent breast augmentation. Your office is wonderful! I had a breast augmentation (years ago) and was unhappy with the results. In addition, I was not pleased with the overall experience. Therefore, I was somewhat apprehensive about undergoing another procedure. After meeting with Dr. Johnston and staff, I was comfortable to proceed. Dr. Johnston spent a considerable amount of time with my husband and I explaining in detail the entire process. Kathy was very patient in assisting me with the appropriate sizing. After the procedure I received excellent care. My surgery was definitely a success and I am very happy with the results! For anyone that is considering plastic surgery, I would strongly encourage them to go visit your office. I am personally glad that I made that choice! Thank you again for everything...you all have been a blessing throughout the entire process! more

Choosing Dean Johnston as my doctor was the worst mistake of my life. Within a month after having breast implants one of the implants fell out of my breast. The implant literally sat about 2-3 inches below my breast. I was made to wait a year to have the implant put back in place and now have partial nerve damage under my arm & around my back. I cannot use my left arm to reach, stretch, lift or push without feeling a horrible piercing pain where the implant was stitched into place. Before the first surgery Dr Johnston discussed aerola size and agreed upon the size of a quarter. He also comforted me by telling me if it didnt come out right he would take care of it. My aerolas are 8 times the original agreed upon size, when I requested they be fixed I was told by his extremely rude wife & nurse that I would have to pay them more if I wanted the aerola size fixed!!!! They may dress up nice & seem respectable but these people are nothing but thieves. I wasted $13,000 with Dean Johnston. Dont let my horror become yours. more
