Brief Intro

Personal: Dr. Johnson was born in Colorado Springs, CO and grew up in Baytown, TX as the oldest of 3 children. His father was an environmental engineer with Exxon and his mother was a teacher. He met Christina Prueger (who was born in Peru and raised in California and Alaska) when they were both starting their first year of medical school. (His wife is a pediatric ophthalmologist.) They were married in August 1989. They have 3 children: Hannah, David, and Joshua and they live in Mission. Community/Church/Professional Involvement: Dr. Johnson currently attends Baptist Temple in McAllen. He is involved with the Global Impact team at Baptist Temple. He is the medical director at Legacy Hospice and serves on the board for Fellowship of Christian Athletes. Why did you decide to become a doctor? Why did you move to Mission, TX? "I decided to become a doctor to serve others to be in a profession where I could be involved in a meaningful way in the lives of others. Dr. Havener and I met during our residencies at University of Iowa and decided to move here together in 1994 to be involved in medical missionary work along the border, to work with under-served patients, and to develop a medical practice that would honor God." Dr. Johnson has served across the border of Mexico and also in Quito, Ecuador and Togo, Africa in medical missions. He volunteered his medical services in Haiti for a week immediately after earthquake.
