About Joseph E. Johnson IV, M.D.
About
Dr. Joseph Johnson IV believes he was destined to be a physician. He never thought of doing anything else. He comes from generations of doctors, dating all the way back to the 1800s. However, choosing his preferred field of study was a little more interesting. Dr. Johnson says, “[Choosing gastro] was an accident. I ended up training under two men who were Nobel Prize winners in GI, their enthusiasm for the field was contagious.
He completed his Doctorate at the University of Texas, followed by acceptance of a Fellowship at the University of North Carolina. During his career, Dr. Johnson served as Staff Physician at Murphy VA Hospital.
In the past, Dr. Johnson was also on a talk show in San Antonio. The show included a 10-minute segment designed to help viewers better understand and care for their health. Although the program is no longer on the air, he still spreads the word about colon cancer.
Dr. Johnson is a colon cancer survivor himself. He says that his own experience battling the disease only fueled his passion for the cause. He says to his patients in daily practice, “When you’re sick or struggling with your health, the last thing that you want to do is sit in a waiting room or be shuffled from room to room and talk to doctors who act too busy. My experience only enhanced the human element that must exist in this practice. I am dedicated to being responsive, on time, and focused on my patient’s care. I’m focused during every moment I spend with them.”

Amazing doctors and staff!
I feel very satisfied with the way they treated me and gave me answers all my questions. Cynthia Guzman ,NP, was very kind and answered all my questions very professionally. Thank 😊 🙏
Dr. Joseph E. Johnson IV and his staff did an excellent job. However, the intake nurse didn't know how to do a proper IV. It took 7 times before the IV was finally in my arm. Then it was so painful, I could hardly stand it. This left bruises on my arm and hand. The anesthesiologist with Dr. Johnson in the procedure room was kind enough to redo the IV and he did an excellent job. After that everything went well. They even checked up on me the next day to see how I was doing. If you need to have a colonoscopy I highly recommend Dr. Johnson.
