About Me
I'm Chris Johnson, DPM, a board-certified podiatrist (foot surgeon) at Phelps Health. I see patients in Rolla and Waynesville for various foot and ankle conditions.
Common conditions that I treat include arthritis, bunions and hammertoes, foot conditions related to diabetes, foot and ankle injuries, heel pain, ingrown and fungal nails, muscle and tendon pain, skin disorders and structural foot deformities.
I've known since junior high that I wanted to practice medicine. When I started college, I didn’t have a specific specialty in mind, and my advisor suggested podiatry. Unfamiliar with this specialty, I job shadowed a podiatrist near my school. Observing his work solidified my interest in the field, leading me to pursue a career in podiatry. I went on to complete a 2-year surgical residency program in the St. Louis area.
Outside of work, I enjoy hunting. I grew up hunting dove, pheasant and goose in Illinois. Since moving to Missouri, I mostly hunt deer. I also enjoy golfing and spending time with my family.
I try to build good relationships with my patients. I enjoy getting to know them and letting them get to know me. When a patient leaves my office, I want to be sure they understand their condition and the treatment options available to them. Sometimes there is no quick solution, and healing will be a longer process. I want them to have a clear picture of what to expect moving forward.

What our patients are saying (Verified reviews from real patients)
The visit was on schedule, and went smoothly
He answered all the questions I had for him. Explained the plan for moving forward.
Everyone was professional and courteous.
reduced waiting time for scheduled appointments.
I am always treated so well here. By everyone that works here.
This is such a wonderful doctor and staff. I always look forward to going to see Dr. Johnson!
I didn't get in to a room at my appointment time. Running probably 15-20 minutes late
You all did super! Don't know of anything you could improve on! Keep up the good work!
My nails were so long and ugly because I was unable to drive after surgery. Dr. Johnson carefully trimmed them and a nurse smoothed them afterwards. I'm proud of what was done and can smile seeing my feet again. I think Dr. Johnson really cares about doing a quality job!
Everyone was friendly and helpful. The provider was very nice and explained everything well.
Taking care of me for my surgery and keeping me well informed of the plans and upcoming appts. Very very great doctor and staff no complaints ever from me.
There's always room for improvement, however, with Dr. Johnson and his staff, they are incredible!
Very professional staff.
I recommend Dr Johnson to all my family and friends. He makes me feel comfortable when he is treating me and I always know what to expect. His office gets me in and out quickly.
Continue the process, performance and quality work ethics displayed by everyone
This is my second time seeing Dr. Johnson. I have received really good care from him. He is very professional and competent.
It was good for me! No issues.
Medicare policy re seeing primary care physician at least six months before podiatry visit needs to be told to patient before all appointments.
Everyone I encountered treated me very nicely and with professionalism. I have no complaints about anything.
Everything is always great with me.I think everyone is doing a good job.
They was real polite and really helped me and let me know what was going on with my toes. So, they're just what I think about. Real good people. Bye.
There was no one else waiting to check in, two ladies at the front, one at the side desk, neither one for about two minutes acknowledged me and said, can I help you?
When checking in at the counter your debit card ready did not work. That is my only grievance. I'm sure you will look into that. Thanks
It is hard to improve perfection. I like Dr. Johnson and all of his staff. It was a busy appointment day yet Dr. Johnson spent time talking with me as well as his staff did. My only regret is my memory to keep the staff names to give them kudos.
The medical team, doctor and assistant were very nice and professional. I always enjoy my health team and appointment with this team.
There was a person in front of me being registered in for their appointment. One of the ladies at the windows to the side called me by name to come over and she would get me registered in for my appointment. I thought that was very nice to be called by my name. As always Dr Johnson did what he always does and puts me in a relaxed atmosphere. We always talk about something, the weather, the USMC, ballgames, hunting, etc, etc. I enjoy my visits with Dr Johnson and my old dogs (feet) feel better also.
Everything was done well.
Overall, the experience was very good. I don't really have any complaints. However, I waited for 45 minutes for my appointment, and I had to ask them, was the doctor even in the office? Because I didn't hear them call anybody to Dr. Johnson. And the guy told me that Dr. Johnson was running behind, and he couldn't tell me how many people were ahead of me. And so, but he did take the initiative to go and ask the doctor. I mean, and I did, but I found exceptions waiting for any kind of time and did not let me know because my time is important. So, yeah, but other than that, I think that's great and the community.
Maybe a little less wait time but everything else was great
The staff and Dr Johnson were very personable made me feel very comfortable
I was seen by my doctor very quickly and the care I received was excellent. The treatment I received for my problem was exactly what I needed and solving my medical issues,
Tell me end result/next step if prescription doesn't fix issue.
Everyone treated me with respect and kindness and listened to me and explained things well.
My experience was great my feet have never felt better thanks
I know Dr Johnson is very busy lol, he spent some time with me. He let me know that my feet are looking good, (they were a big mess when I first started) there.
Great people
I was very happy. Everyone was helpful and courteous. And the result of the treatment was a complete success. Very thankful for Dr Johnson and his staff
Everyone is nice and caring
They are always very professional and treat their clients with the upmost respect.
The provider Dr Johnston was very professional and extremely gentle in handling my feet. Very pleased with the way I was handled from the sign in thru leaving.
Keep up
Dr. Johnson listened to my concerns and was very proactive to take steps addressing my condition addressing my concerns.
Helped with wheel chair. Were curteous; listened to my and did as I asked.
I love her she is so nice to me and goes over stuff where I understand it ??
The nurse who took care of us was a blast! Yet very professional. Dr Johnson?-best visit we've ever been to and that's from myself AND my wife who is an RN at Phelps. The front desk people were ok but could use some people skills. They were too dry and kind of condescending to other patients. Maybe it was a coincidence that both were having bad days.
And this is why you guys did really good. I like you guys. I like you guys yourself.
I think Dr. Johnson and his staff are #1. Certainly in my book!!
He listened to all the concerns. And came up with a plan we hope will be manageable for the group home. To provide proper care and medication administration
Everything was good except the parking. Not enough handicap parking spaces.
I love Dr Johnson ...he listens well and tries to answer my questions.was respectful and pleasant! His help was very nice too!
Dr. J and his staff are fast, friendly and professional.
Everyone, including Dr Johnson, has always been professional, caring, and friendly. Gives a person a very comfortable feeling while in their office.

The front staff was very quick and kind, nice. The nurses were very good. And then when I saw the doctor, I was very impressed. He took care of my podiatry needs and I really appreciated it. I will use him again.
Dr Johnson always very professional and pleasant
The doctor and staff were both polite and professional.
Dr. Johnson takes the time to talk with me and ensure that I am calm prior to the injections

Great diabetic checkup.

Dr Johnson clearly explained the mechanics of the foot and how we might relieve pressure points. He was both professional and personable.
I always recommend Dr Johnson.
Treated exceptionally well. Couldn't have asked for anything better.
I have already recommended him to a friend who is having trouble with her arches. Thank you!
Dr Johnson took the time to explain what he was doing and how to mitigate future problems. The problem I was having was immediately resolved.
All I can say is Phelps appears too be among the best along with the staff
