Testimonials

"Yesterday evening after my surgery, Dr Johans and I talked for some time. In our discussion he brought up a talk that he gave at a Salt & Light mens conference. I just watched it. I am at a loss for words, it was moving. Please pass along to Dr. Johans that I know I was fortunate to have him as my surgeon. I won't go into the details, but I walk with God, and I know for a fact that God directed me to be one of his patients, for which I am very grateful. Yes, he is doing Gods work and I pray that God will continue to bless him and his team, which is you also, for all of your excellence is making other peoples lives better. Thank you for your work and dedication to excellence."
