Dr. Johnston combines clinical excellence with genuine connection—a rare find in healthcare. Patients consistently note her ability to truly listen and deliver results that exceed expectations.


Her belief? Dental care should feel personal, not procedural. This vision shapes every aspect of our boutique practice for New Yorkers who expect better.
