Dr. Francis Regis Johns, MD

I had a breast lift with implants, a tummy tuck and liposuction on my flanks. After losing 70 pounds it was time to get the body I’ve always wanted and Dr. Johns was able to help me achieve that. I seriously couldn’t be happier with the results. Zero regrets!

Dr. Johns and his staff were very professional yet friendly and comforting during my consultations, surgery procedure, and follow up appointments. I consider his work medical artistry!

It is hard to put into words what my experience with Dr. Johns was like. After 22 years of hating the body I was in…I feel like I am finally the me I was meant to be. Getting a breast reduction was, in total honesty, the best decision I have ever made. I don’t think you can truly understand what it’s like to be a DD cup at 14 and to be sexualized by older men constantly because of it. Or having them get bigger and bigger with each pregnancy, regardless of how active and fit you are. It’s hard to understand the physical pain you live with daily that no mattress, chiropractor, medication, or exercise can stop. It’s hard to understand how an H cup keeps you from buying clothes, sleeping comfortably, or even having a positive self-image of yourself. I had stopped doing all the things I enjoyed. I stopped running, hiking, camping, climbing, or anything that resembled the lifestyle I enjoyed. My mental, emotional, and physical health were at their lowest. I hated everything about myself. When I finally had enough, I started scheduling consultations with surgeons. I met with four before meeting Dr. Johns. Do you know what those other four doctors had in common?? They didn’t listen to me. They didn’t respect my decision or what I was asking for. I wanted to go as small as possible. Those other doctors would reply with ‘but you still want to be feminine so don’t go too small’ or ‘are you sure that is what you really want?’ or my favorite…’but you have such great curves, why go so small?’. Do you know how Dr. Johns replied?? He simply said ‘okay, I can take you as small as I safety can go’. He just listened to what I said, didn’t question me at all and just made me feel instantly that I was in control of my own body. From the moment I walked in, Dr. Johns and his entire staff made me feel so welcome. Every person on the phone, every email, every nurse, every PA…literally everyone. They were super accommodating with me (who had been saving for years for this and needing to pay in different installments before the surgery date) and many had a maternal and warm presence. They surgery itself was seamless. Recovery was easier than I imagined (didn’t need any post-surgery pain management) and five months out – I HAVE NEVER BEEN HAPPIER! I have run 3 competitive 5Ks and have one more plus 2 10Ks planned before the end of May. I have hiking and kayaking trips planned. I am lifting again. I just cannot fully articulate how happy I am. I would do this decision over and over and over again. And when I am ready to fix the damage my pregnancies did to my stomach, I’ll be going with Dr. Johns…hands down.

Dr. Johns exceeded all of my expectations for my tummy tuck, muscle repair, and breast lift. He is by far one of the best. He truly cares about his patients and goes above and beyond to make sure they are happy. He definitely takes pride in his work. The staff at Artisan were also great and went above and beyond to meet any need there was. They were so nice and accommodating. Highly recommend…no regrets!

I have had a surgery with Dr Johns and 2 of my daughters also have. Takes time to explain everything before during and after your procedure.

Dr.Johns and staff were terrific…the procedure went well, recovery was quick, the results are so very nice!!!Dr Johns work is remarkable..,I am so thrilled that I look fresh and alive again…not to mention that my confidence is back… Because I feel pretty again!

Excited about my upcoming surgeries!!!

I had a breast reduction through Dr Johns. The procedure was extremely successful and I couldn’t be more Happy with my results. It changed my life.

Dr John did an excellent job I am so pleased an happy. I am a 55 year old women an love the new me. I would recommend him for any service top notch????

Highly recommend Dr Johns and his staff at Artisan! They are both pleasant and knowledgeable. After a consultation with Dr Johns regarding a breast reduction, I felt relaxed and at ease going into surgery. I had 100% confidence that he would do an excellent job and I was right. His work is precise and skilled and his many years of experience are evident. You will not be disappointed. My only regret is that I didn’t take the initiative to have this surgery sooner! I am thrilled with my results and would not hesitate to return to him if I need any other surgeries in the future.

I cannot begin to express the gratitude I have for Dr. Johns and the staff at Artisan Plastic Surgery. I’ve been meaning to write a review for a while but struggled to find the words that truly expressed how thankful I am for the whole experience. From the beginning, the entire process was organized, and Dr. Johns made it easy to understand everything I would undergo during my Mini Face & Neck Lift. The guidance provided for both pre and post-surgery were exceptional and left me with no questions. I could not recommend Dr. Johns & Artisan Plastic Surgery more. I felt comfortable and confident throughout the entire process and it is all because of Dr. Johns. He is a true artist and ONE-OF-A-KIND!!

Dr. Johns is beyond one of the best surgeons you can find!! Not only is he an excellent surgeon but also puts 110% into caring for his patients and giving you the best possible outcome. He treats everyone with the upmost respect and tries to help each patient achieve their goals. I would never hesitate going to him for anything.

Waited an hour for a consult. Finally had to leave. Didn’t feel comfy if the staff didn’t seem concerned or apologetic about having potential patients wait for an hour. Does not give one a warm, fuzzy feeling about personal, elective surgery.

I would recommend Dr. Francis Johns over & over again! I had a breast augmentation & tummy tuck done by Dr. Johns and I could not be happier with my results. I was extremely worried about having surgery, but it is something I have always wanted to do. After having my consultation with Dr. Johns, I knew I was ready to have it done. He listened to every concern I had, and helped me feel comfortable and confident that I was making the right decision. He never made me feel awkward, even after coming back in more than once to make sure I was picking the right implant size. His staff at the office & the surgery center is truly amazing. They are all so welcoming, and nice. I could go on & on about Dr. Johns! If you are looking for a plastic surgeon in the Pittsburgh area, he is your guy! Thank you Dr. Johns for helping me get my confidence back!

Sitting here waiting 1.5 hours for my follow up. Appointment was given to me before the surgery date so there’s no excuse for this wait —a 7pm appointment and it’s now 9. Can’t comment yet on the results of tuck and fat transfer (not overwhelmed) but hopefully this site will let me comment more later.
