Dr. Renee Johnson

Well Child Exams

Dr. Johnson will collaborate with the patient and family to optimally develop mental, physical, and social health. We will discuss growth, development, nutrition, hearing, vision, immunizations, and more.

Minor Injuries

We manage minor injuries, including wound closure and splinting/casting for minor fractures. Severe fractures should still be seen same-day by Orthopedics or the ER.  If you are unsure if your child needs to be seen by Dr. Johnson or Orthopedics, please give us a call to discuss the case over the phone.

Same-Day Sick Visits

We know children can become ill unexpectedly, so we offer same-day sick appointments.

Osteopathic Manual Medicine

Dr. Johnson offers osteopathic manual medicine for musculoskeletal complaints and a more natural approach to healthcare if this is desired by the patient. Osteopathic manipulation has been shown to help with colic, positional nursing problems, current ear infections, and more.

Immunizations

During well child exams, we can administer immunizations according to the recommended CDC schedule.

Specialist Referrals

Most pediatric concerns can be diagnosed and treated at our office. However, should your child need a consultation from the specialist, Dr. Johnson will discuss the proposed referral with you and then initiate the process.
