About Me

Dr. Johnson is a Midwest native, with many years of practice in Iowa hospitals and clinics. Her experience in her profession includes a focus on women’s health issues as well as the importance of education as part of care for the whole family. She knows the value of sharing knowledge – she has also served as a professor for medical students over her career.

She provides a full range of exams, immunizations and other “health basics” that moms, dads and children might need. Families who want a well-rounded physician that they can develop a long-term health care relationship with can find it in Dr. Leah Johnson.

Active Lifestyle

When she’s not seeing patients in her clinic, Dr. Johnson and her family are often outdoors, in all seasons, taking part in active pastimes such as hiking, bicycling and long walks. She enjoys cooking and reading, but is most often planning the next outdoor travel adventure she and her family will take.

Dr. Johnson is meticulous in her ability to deliver patient care with smile and a genuine care for her patients. She listens, offers guidance and help but more importantly she wants to know how important an issue is to you and then prioritizes it according to you. She will be candid as to whether to not she feels it is a concern to her as a medical professional. You never ever feel like just another cattle call patient in a long line of patients she will see that day.
