About Me

I'm Chris Johnson, DPM, a board-certified podiatrist (foot surgeon) at Phelps Health. I see patients in Rolla, Waynesville and Salem 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.

Great doctor

Instead of having patients stand on the bare floor/bare x-ray stand, on their bare feet, place a piece of paper or pad for them to stand on that can be disposed of after each patient.

The entire staff on the fourth floor, room 400 are very very respectful to me each and every time I am there to see the doctors. Dr Johnson always listens to me and our chats together are enjoyable, educational for me in his field of work and I am calm and relaxed with him as well as his staff. Top notch folks in my opinion.

I had a bit of an emergency with a cut on my toe and they were able to squeeze me in and see me almost immediately. I thought that was very nice considering how busy Dr Johnson is. Everything went really good. Thanks again for your help.

Dr. Johnson is one of the best doctors that I have and I have quite a few. He listens to all my concerns and questions, answers them in layman terms so that I can understand, couldn't ask for a better bedside manner.
