LAURIUM, Mich. – Aspirus Keweenaw Hospital and Clinics proudly welcomes board certified family medicine physician Stephen I. Johnson, MD. Dr. Johnson specializes in comprehensive primary and preventive care for patients of all ages – from children to grandparents. He is now accepting patients at Aspirus Houghton Clinic in Houghton.
Dr. Johnson has been board certified in Family Medicine for more than 7 years. He earned a Bachelor of Science in Molecular Biochemistry and Biophysics from the Illinois Institute of Technology and a Doctor of Medicine from Chicago Medical School. He completed his Family Medicine Residency at West Suburban Medical Center in Oak Park, Illinois.
Prior to Aspirus, Dr. Johnson was a family physician at Little Company of Mary’s Medical Group, Family Christian Health Center and Friend Family Health Center. He is board certified in family medicine, and his professional affiliations include the American Academy of Family Physicians and the Michigan Academy of Family Physicians.
For Dr. Johnson, having the opportunity to make a positive impact on the health and well-being of others is what inspired him to pursue a career in family medicine.
“My philosophy of care is to help patients get well and stay well,” he said. “I listen to my patients and help them understand all of their care options. My job is to help them take care of themselves.”
Dr. Johnson is originally from Oak Park near Chicago, Illinois. Moving to the Upper Peninsula is an exciting venture for him since it brings him closer to his sister, Shalini Johnson, MD, ophthalmologist at Aspirus Eye Clinic in Houghton. He is thrilled to get to know people in the community, and his colleagues at Aspirus.
