⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️Surgeon John T. Johnson and his staff and nurses are probably the kindest folks I've ever run across in a medical setting. If you want to be educated about your condition, and have the best people working on your behalf, make an appointment at The Surgical Center of Morehead City. From the receptionist to the anesthesiologist, this place and it's team are top notch. They are always on time, follow strict Covid rules, and make your visit their priority. Highly recommend.

I had my gallbladder removed here and had the best experience! Everybody was super friendly and very attentive. Everything from the sweet nurses that chatted with me through the pre-op, the kind anesthesiologist, and the surgeon himself was very professional and made me feel like they honestly cared about me. Special thanks to Ms. Kara, Ms. Amy, and Dr. Zee for everything you did!!
