The University of Texas Medical Branch in Galveston accepted Dr. Johnson into its urology residency program in June of 1990.

Dr. Johnson was named Chief Resident in Urology in 1995 and received the Pfizer Scholar in Urology Award on completion of his training in 1996. He is board-certified by the American Board of Urology and is a member of the American Urological Association, the Texas Urological Society and the Texas Medical Association.
Dr. Johnson continues to distinguish himself professionally on a regular basis. He was elected President of the Texas Urological Society in 2001 and remains the youngest president in the history of that prestigious organization. In 2005, he was chosen as one of only 16 urologists in the nation (and the only urologist in the state of Texas) for the inaugural class of the American Urological Association's Leadership Development Program. He has been invited to serve as a moderator at the American Urological Association's national meeting for 4 of the last 5 years. This meeting is the largest of its kind in the world and is regularly attended by over 17,000 physicians, students and researchers. He has served as President of the Medical Staff at Texoma Medical Center and is the current Chief of Surgery at TMC.
There are several state-of-the-art urology procedures performed by Dr. Johnson. He is the only urologist in Grayson County actively performing penile prosthesis surgery, cryoablation (freeze therapy) for prostate cancer and artificial urinary sphincter implantation. He was the first urologist in Grayson County to perform GreenLight laser vaporization of the prostate and has performed more of these procedures then any other urologist in the area.
Dr. Johnson is a much sought-after speaker at medical meetings where he shares his expertise on many urology topics including overactive bladder, prostate disease, and interstitial cystitis. KXII News 12 features him monthly during TMC Medical Minutes. He also returns to Baylor University regularly to speak to college pre-medical students about the rigors of medical training.
He has been married to his college sweetheart, Lisa Jane, for 19 years. In his free time, he enjoys motorcycle riding, flying and sport shooting. He is also a staunch supporter of property tax reform in Texas.
