Provider Bio

Ben Johnson, MD, is a board-certified OB/GYN physician and surgeon at Women's Healthcare Associates in Portland, Oregon.

About the Provider

Dr. Johnson spent his childhood in Montana on a cattle and horse ranch. He is a magna cum laude graduate of Rocky Mountain College in Billings, Montana where he received his undergraduate degree in biology. After attending medical school at the University of North Dakota, Dr. Johnson did his specialty training in obstetrics and gynecology at St. Joseph Mercy Hospital in Ann Arbor, Michigan.

Though Dr. Johnson liked Ann Arbor very much, the urge to move back west prevailed and he is delighted to be a part of Women's Healthcare Associates. Though he enjoys all aspects of obstetrics and gynecology, Dr. Johnson is particularly interested in advanced laparoscopic surgery and infertility. In his spare time, he enjoys outdoor activities including cycling, running, rock climbing and all varieties of snow sports.

    I was experiencing my second miscarriage. My emotions were on edge. Dr. Johnson is not my regular doctor but he was excellent. He was kind and encouraging in a very difficult situation for me. He answered my questions and did not make me feel stupid for asking them. He gave me direction as to what the next steps to be. It gave me a bit of hope in a sad time.

    Dr. Johnson was excellent. I'm switching from another provider that I was very successful with. He took the time to review my chart, was familiar with my treatment and goals and set a good plan for my future care.
