1/22/2021 I've had bad delay experiences every time I've gone into this office. I'm contemplating switching from Optum all together.
12/18/2020 It took the doctor 50 min. last time we were there. My daughter becomes very agitated waiting so long.

11/20/2020 Dr. Johnson-Wirt was fantastic as always. We are very happy with the care she provides.

1/26/2021 *Dr. Johnson-Wirt is an excellent, extremely caring, and overall awesome physician. Physicians of her caliber are very rare these days. Please treat her well and retain her. She is extremely valuable!!
7/29/2020 Very nice and courteous. She was very informative and thorough.
3/23/2021 I would not recommend because wait times in clinic are so long.
9/15/2020 She was awful. She did not introduce herself upon entering the room. There was no acknowledgment of the wait time. She talked over me then concluded by saying it really wasn't a "big deal." My autistic son was quite disturbed by the conclusion. My children have been seen by Dr Nitcher, primarily and other physicians in the practice over the past 12 years. We've been thoroughly pleased. I would never allow my children to be seen by her again.
