Calvin M. Johnson, Jr., MD

After over four decades in practice, I have decided to retire. I leave you in the good hands of two of my most impressive fellows, Dr. Christian Jacob and Dr. Thomas Moulthrop. I personally trained both of them and would without reservation trust either to operate on any friend or family member. Having trained over thirty fellows, I know with confidence that these two exceptional surgeons will continue to produce the natural aesthetic results that defined my career. Thank you for your loyalty over the years. You will be pleased with your choice to continue with these fine surgeons.
