Dr. Johnson, an Abilene, Texas native, came into veterinary medicine following in his grandfatherÍs footsteps.î I grew up listening to stories my grandfather would tell about his days as a veterinary practitioner,î he says, which has helped give Dr. Johnson ña passion for animals and for learning as much as possible about them.î It is his caring personality and high level of veterinary skill that has quickly made him a popular veterinarian among NeighborhoodÍs clients and their pets. As a husband and father, Dr. Johnson enjoys spending time with his family as well as his two dachshunds, Chisum and Lilly. His wife, Lisa, joined the clinic team in January 2010, and his son Reese enjoys playing soccer when not slaving away at school.
