About Dr. Johannes

Philosophy of care

I think the first thing a physician must do when treating a patient is to listen to his patient. This allows one to treat the person rather than just the diagnosis. I believe in a team approach to caring for patients. Including physicians from multiple specialties, as well as physician assistants, nurses, pharmacists and others, brings the latest expertise and attention that our patients deserve.

Why I entered medicine

The care of the urologic patient incorporates several aspects of medicine. Although many patients require expert surgical management, many others require medical management alone. Having all these tools, both operative and medical, makes the management of urologic patients challenging as well as interesting to me. My interest in urologic surgery also stems from the broad application of state of the art technology. Whether it is robotic surgery, advanced minimally invasive endourologic treatment of stones and tumors, or the latest treatment techniques for benign prostatic hyperplasia (BHP), I am proud to be able to offer these techniques.

Community involvement

I participated in free prostate cancer screening clinics annually.

Personal interests

I enjoy the outdoors, fishing and hunting mostly, depending on the time of year. I have a passion for food and love to cook. This is a shared passion with my wife, who is a chef by trade.
