About Me.
Failure is never an option.
Dr. Pierre Johnson aka The Fibroid Slayer is a minimally invasive gynecologic guru born and raised on the south side of Chicago. As a child, he declared his destiny as an Ob-Gyn and worked through insurmountable odds to achieve his dreams. He graduated from Xavier University of LA with a BS in biology, MD from the University of IL College of Medicine, a General surgery internship at Washington Hospital Center, and completed his Ob-Gyn residency training from Southern IL University School of Medicine. As the oldest child of a single African American woman of 5 children, Dr. Johnson has witnessed the negative impact that implicit bias has on communities. He has vowed to dedicate his life to fighting to end healthcare disparities. Through extensive training and vast experience, Dr. Johnson has developed the niche to surgically manage the most difficult gynecologic cases. He professes that no fibroid is too big to manage, and every woman should have the option to preserve her uterus. He has over 13 years (2010) of experience with da Vinci robotic surgery and 9 years (2014) of experience with Acessa (Laparoscopic Radio-frequency Ablation of fibroids) .
Dr. Johnson has a passion for educating and inspiring people. He was featured in The New York Times Magazine article, “A Prescription for More Black Doctors,” in 2015. In 2016, Dr. Johnson received the Xavier University “40 under 40” award for young professional achievement; in 2017 he received the Alpha Kappa Alpha Monarch “Man of the Year” award.
