Dr. Elizabeth Johnston completed her residency in General Surgery and has a special interest in Breast Surgery. Before coming to Oroville Hospital she worked for Veterans Affairs at the Omaha VA Medical Center in Nebraska.
Dr. Elizabeth Johnston is passionate about breast cancer and has specialized training in breast surgery. “Being a woman, I know how serious breast cancer can be. I chose to specialize in breast surgery because I wanted to be a part of the process and be able to help women and guide them through the process of breast cancer. I enjoy being a part of the patient’s life on a long-term basis.”
While Dr. Elizabeth Johnston has a special focus on breast surgery she will also be performing general surgery, including esophageal, stomach, small bowel, colon, liver, pancreas, gallbladder, and hernias.
Dr. Michael Johnston is an Interventional Cardiologist and is enthusiastic about preventative cardiology and the affects your diet has on your health. “I have an interest in preventing cardio-vascular disease before it leads to a heart attack. I enjoy talking with my patients about the importance of a healthy diet and the consequences a bad diet has on your heart. There is a lot of education that can be done and I am happy I am able to be a part of it.”
With the focus of prevention, Dr. Michael Johnston will deal with all disorders of the heart. He will perform stress test, echocardiograms, general cardiology and interventional cardiology.
Both are excited to be a part of the Oroville Hospital team and are a great addition to the hospital and community.
