Andrew Johnson, “I believe surgery can be a very scary experience for patients. I like to help them through that process and provide them with a great surgical experience hopefully sending them home with minimal discomfort though utilization of multi-modal pain therapies and nerve blocks. Also, chronic pain can be devastating for patients and their families. Through interventional techniques and medical management, I believe I can help patients and their families live more active and healthy lives. I am married with 3 young boys. We enjoy living in the country and have many hobbies including gardening, blacksmithing, hunting, fishing, exercising, and playing with our dogs. We have lived in Olivia for over 8 years and absolutely love the community and are especially thankful for Olivia Hospital & Clinics.”
