I had right knee replaced on July 26 2021. I found all the staff very caring and great at their job. I had suture that caused a slight infection and the care given to me was outstanding. Amy and Adam stayed in contact with me during the labor weekend to see how the infection was progessing. Dr. Johnson was terrific during this as well. I am back to doing everything I was doing before the surgery but now I am painfree in that knee and it feels so great! Thanks Bone & Joint Center for all you have done for me. Joe

When I was diagnosed with hip osteoarthritis and found out I was a candidate for hip replacement surgery I was a bit surprised. I had hip pain but was still enjoying my active life with some disruption because of the discomfort. As time went by the discomfort turned more into pain and I as referred to Dr. Derrick Johnson. Learning that he was a pioneer in the anterior approach and had performed 1000's of hip surgeries, I felt confident in my decision to have him perform the surgery. I also felt so fortunate that he was here in my home town of Holland, MI. The surgery went well, and the night in

Derick Johnson is an excellent surgeon using state-of-the-art surgical procedures and technology. This has one downside; longer than usual queues for his services. This, though, allowed for more psychological and physical preparation for the surgery, which resulted in much shorter post-operative recovery and at-home rehabilitation. The only pain I've ever felt post-op has come from post-recovery overuse as a result of my impatience. I wholeheartedly recommend Dr Johnson, his personal staff, and the staff at Holland Hospital to anyone needing this operation.

I would give Dr. Johnson 10 stars if I could! The entire experience could not have gone more smoothly, from the initial visit in the office right through the post-op period. I have no pain in that hip for the first time in many years, even immediately after surgery. Everything involved in preparing for the surgery was done in order to ensure the best outcome and I am truly amazed and thankful at the excellent results. I would absolutely recommend the Bone and Joint Center for anyone needing a hip replacement!

All of the staff is great. They take care of everything to make the process of a hip replacement smooth from beginning to end. Dr. Johnson does a job second to none. I was walking and moving better than before surgery in 2 weeks and am feeling better everyday. I could tell the joint pain was gone in a matter of days.

After dealing with the pain in both hips for ten years, I would highly recommend Dr. Johnson and the anterior approach for hip replacement. I had both done within 6 months and I am very happy to have quality of life restored and my hips be pain free. My recovery was very quick, too quick in terms of regaining my activities, including heavy exercising, after the first one and Dr. Johnson had to hold me back after the second. There was a problem with the bandage after the second one and Dr. Johnson met me at the hospital on a Friday night to change it, even offering to pick me up if I could not find

Dr Johnson's work is incredible. I have had both hips replaced & I am without hip pain for the 1st time in many, many years. I am 61 & his work made walking, biking & being active an enjoyable part of my life again. The pain afterwards is very bad, but well worth the result. I cannot say enough good things about him & his awesome staff. Great job & THANK YOU so much. Picture is of me hiking in Sedona AZ only 6 weeks after surgery

After dealing hip issues for 10 years, I had surgery 7 months ago. I am grateful for the miracle of my new hip that Dr. Johnson and Holland Hospital were able to give me. I have seen many of the leading hip surgeons across the US during my ten year journey to diagnose and treat my hip pain and can say with complete confidence that Dr. Johnson and Holland Hospital were the best choice! Caring and skilled medical professionals treated me with respect and compassion during the entire process. Questions were answered promptly before and after surgery both by Dr. Johnson, his staff and the staff of

It has been 12.5 months since my hip replacement surgery performed by Dr. D. Johnson at Holland Hospital. I can say, without reservation, that the care and attention that I received from ever person in his office and the hospital was outstanding. From pre-surgery preparation, surgery, and post operation recovery my experience was amazing. All my questions were answered with patience and detail, no question too small. Healing came fast and little or no pain. In two months, I was back to spin class, no problems, no pain!

My father's hip surgery experience with Dr. Derick Johnson has been horrific. Three months after the surgery and he can barely walk. Has had terrible popping noises when he sneezes that bring him to the ground in pain. Dr. Johnson has shown zero interest in the very poor outcome of the surgery and has left an injured patient to fend for himself. A few weeks back when he sneezed and heard a loud popping sounds and fell to his knees in pain, he called the office and asked to see the Dr. The nurse asked to rate his pain on a 1-10. He said 12!! (very unusual for my father). After checking
