Meet Dr. James Johnson

Dr. James Johnson is a pediatric dental specialist. With his unique charm, he gets children excited about their dental care, helping them to develop healthy habits that will last a lifetime. Dr. J (as his patients call him) attended Brigham Young University, then continued on to earn his doctorate from the prestigious University of Florida College of Dentistry. After graduating from dental school, Dr. Johnson underwent two years of additional training in pediatric dentistry, which included a hospital residency at the University of Florida. During this time, he learned how to deal with challenging children and performed many conscious sedation techniques for kids.

He has excelled in his specialty and is a member of many professional associations including the American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry, American Dental Association, and the Arizona Academy of Pediatric Dentistry. Dr. Johnson is a board-certified pediatric dentist and a Diplomate of the American Board of Pediatric Dentistry.

Dr. Johnson and his wife Tricia have been married since 1995 and have five children of their own. (We told you he was great with kids!) He is originally from Boise, Idaho, but is happy to call Gilbert home. He enjoys hunting, camping, and football. Go Florida Gators!

Despite his clinical focus, Dr. Johnson's most compelling feature is something all too rare in today's rushed world: he takes the time to get to know each patient one on one. So please join us at East Valley Pediatric Dentistry for a wonderful dental experience.
