About Me

One of my favorite parts of being a physician is developing relationships with new people and helping them maintain a healthy, active lifestyle. I am committed to spending time with each patient, listening to their goals and concerns, and working together to develop a personalized treatment plan. I enjoy using surgical and non-surgical techniques to treat all common activity related injuries and have particular interest in ailments of the knee and shoulder including ACL or other ligament tears, cartilage and meniscus injuries, rotator cuff tears, labral tears, shoulder and patellar instability, arthritis, and fractures of the clavicle and proximal humerus.

I completed a fellowship in sports medicine and shoulder surgery at the University of Colorado where I treated extreme sports athletes, laborers, and endurance athletes of all ages. I worked as a team physician for the University of Colorado Buffaloes football and basketball teams, as well as the Colorado Avalanche, Denver Nuggets, and Colorado Rapids professional teams. Prior to fellowship I completed orthopedic surgery residency at Temple University Hospital, medical school at Drexel University, and college at Randolph Macon College where I played football. Today I maintain membership in multiple professional societies including the Arthroscopy Association of North America, the American Orthopedic Society for Sports Medicine, and the American Academy of Orthopedic Surgeons.

I grew up in Montgomery County and currently live in Allentown. Outside of medicine I enjoy cycling, hiking, camping, and traveling with my wife, new baby boy, and dog.

Dr.Johnson was so knowledgeable about my surgery to my rotator cuff he was so educated on the procedure that I felt totally comfortable. I went into the surgery completely relaxed. I woke from the surgery with no pain to this day I never used any ice or heat. My usage as of right now is 80% and I am back to work as a personal shopper lifting cases of water and 12 packs of soda and bags of dog food 51/2 months after the operation. Dr.Johnson has a personality that is so friendly and relaxed. On a scale of 1 to1000 he is definitely the 1000.I would recommend him to anyone that needs an orthopedic surgeon. Lastly I would recommend him as surgeon of the year at St.Luke's in Phillipsburg New Jersey. Thank you

Very pleased with this provider. I saw a different doctor for same issues over the past year and surgery was my only outlook. Well this provider found my pain could be steaming from. A neck issues and did strength test to verify it. So he found I have been battling not one but two different issues. Going to pt for 8 wks in Hope it can resolve both my neck and shoulder issues before we try injections or surgery. I'm delighted I can have my summer and fall with my family instead of being in recovery from surgery that the first doctor felt was necessary.

Job Well Done by all

Dr. Johnson is by far and away the best provider I have ever seen. He truly cares about the patient and their best interest. Whenever I see him he always takes times to listen to my medical problems and does his best to make sure I fully understand the diagnosis and potential complications from it. There is no provider I have seen that is better than Dr. Johnson.

My appointment with Dr. Alexander Johnson and the Orthopedic group have been excellent. I commend Dr. Johnson for showing me respect and listening to my concerns as a patient.
