Steve Johnson, MD, Ph.D

Dr. Steve Johnson is a pediatrician and child psychologist at Direct Pediatrics in Prospect. He brings both trainings to bear on his work, aiming to give patients and families the best possible care from a perspective that considers a child's physical and emotional development together.

He sees his role as a long relationship rather than a series of visits. His goal is to be there for patients from the day they are born all the way through the transition into adulthood, getting to know each child and family well enough that care feels continuous rather than episodic. That approach shapes how he practices day to day, with an emphasis on knowing his patients as people, not just cases.
