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.

As always. Appointment went well and I was highly satisfied.
Very professional treatment. Thanks
My doctor and my Mom and I thought I had a plantar wart, but it was a clogged sweat gland and felt like I had a pebble in my foot. Doctor was very careful and was gentle when he took the file to file off the hard part and they put more medicine on it and I washed it off at the three hour mark just like Dr Johnson said too. My foot feels so much better.
I didn't really get any answers or relief for my toe problem and pain.
Helpful and kind. Got me in a wheelchair so i did not have to walk the halls.
This office treats me with professionalism and very polite
Dr. Johnson is outstanding in his care and surgeries. He has done surgeries on both the Left and Right foot. I can now walk pain free. His nurse is very kind and she treats his patients with respect and concern for our pain.
Thank You
Questions were answered very respectfully.
Dr. Johnson is a very nice doctor, very friendly.
The doctor listened to my concerns and pulled up over-the-counter DME on the Internet to help treat my feet
Dr. Answered my questions and told me what the problem was and offered a couple of suggestions to help me deal with it

Everything was above and beyond. There is nothing to improve because it's already perfect.
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.
I was treated very well. Keep up the great work!
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.
We love our doctor and all his nurses

It was a good experience with the team.
I was treated warmly and carefully. The gentle touch of the Doctor and his attendant were very pleasant helping me relax. This was the best appointment so far.
The 2 technicians who gave me my ekg really explained things prior to beginning the procedure.
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.
