About Andrew Johnson, MD

Andrew Kelly Johnson, MD, a neurosurgeon at Endeavor Health, specializes in the surgical treatment of spine disease. His clinical focus is cervical spine surgery and complex cervical and craniocervical conditions. Dr. Johnson currently serves as the section chief of neurosurgery at Swedish Hospital.

Care philosophy

I aim to offer the least invasive, most effective treatment – and above all, I focus on achieving the best possible outcome for every patient. Spine patients may benefit from therapy or pain management, and brain conditions can sometimes be treated with stereotactic radiation. When surgery is needed, my goal is to treat the problem effectively while using the smallest approach possible to support a better recovery.

Dr. Johnson is very knowledgeable and a great communicator. He explained my condition very clearly and recommended a conservative course of treatment, which has worked very well. [...], the physician assistant, listens extremely well, takes all the time needed to gather information and is very patient-centered. I would highly recommend both members of this team.
