Professor Margaret Johnson

Initially an "emergency " consultation since test by another consultant found pulmonary emboli. Professor Johnson calmly and clearly explained the condition, organised further tests and prescribed blood thinners ( Apixaban). Follow up consultation arranged where results of some tests were available. Initial questions answered and advised that results of a thrombophilia screen would be available in a few weeks. Call from Professor's secretary yesterday morning and appointment scheduled for yesterday afternoon with result of blood screen. Professor then explained the result and answered numerous questions. She also said that I could contact her secretary if further issues and advised name of another consultant who was an expert in condition diagnosed I was extremely comfortable and satisfied with all 3 consultations and would not hesitate to recommend Professor Johnson

Professor Johnson had a very friendly and sympathetic manner. I felt unrushed and able to ask questions. She was empathetic. She was also very thorough in her examination and the tests she wanted me to have..

Perfect and timely

I've had a number of difficult medical issues over the past ten years, and so have had a lot of experience with GPs and consultants. I find Prof. Margaret Johnson to be an excellent doctor. She has an intelligent approach to medicine. Each time I have seen her (or a family member has seen her), she asked all the pertinent questions, went beyond the obvious to find out what was really going on medically and gave us excellent referrals when these were needed.

I have seen Professor Johnson several times. She has been both thorough and knowledgeable and has brought the treatment to a satisfactory conclusion. Could not have wished for more.

Whilst there are plenty of London-based thoracic consultant physicians listed on the databases of private healthcare insurers, it can be harder than one expects to be able to pin one down for an appointment in an emergency as they do part-days across various clinics/hospitals. In my moment of need I was so relieved that Professor Margaret Johnson does some evening appointments. I was able to see her at 7pm - same day - in St Johns Wood at the St John St Elizabeth Hospital. For what it's worth I also liked the set-up at this hospital. Calm professional, friendly staff in reception, CT Scan and pharmacy. Everything all on one site and 2 minutes walk from the tube station. I felt well listened to, with my questions answered, and thoroughly tested in response to my symptoms. The acuteness of my problem was quickly resolved by Professor Johnson and she also knew how much time to allow before a re-check which led to an all clear a couple of months later.

Professor Johnson is extremely thorough and I felt leaving reassured. She answered all my questions and is very patient

Extremely professional, Professor Margaret Johnson carried out all the necessary procedures and tests. We felt confident and assured that we were in very good hands. Thank you very much indeed!

Professor Johnson is kind, patient, attentive and sympathetic in her manner and approach. She was thorough, taking a multi-pronged approach to her diagnosis which allowed for a swift prognosis and prompt relief of symptoms. Her reassuring manner was very much appreciated and allayed concerns.

Professor Johnson has been explaining the possible cause of my severe cough in simple non technical terms and with great patience. Consequently I was made aware of my problems and possible method of cure. she gave me confidence and encourage. I firmly believe that she is one of the top clinical consultants within the British NHS.
