About Dr. P

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. He has been featured on WGN News, The Chicago Tribune, Sister Circle, Windy City Live, and several other media outlets.

In addition, Dr. Johnson co-authored Pulse of Perseverance- Three Black Doctors on their Journey to Success.  Along with Dr. Joseph Semien and Dr. Maxime Madhere, the trio has traveled all over the country inspiring our future leaders. Through The Pulse of Perseverance Foundation, the doctors have provided monthly scholarships to well-deserving youth since September 2018. The doctors have been featured on multiple television platforms including NBC Today Show, The Steve Harvey Show, and ABC World News amongst many others. They were also featured in Ebony magazine, The New York Times, USA Today, and a multitude of other prominent publications. The crusade is to redefine the negative stereotypical narrative of the young black male. Through actions, Dr. Johnson exemplifies to the world that underprivileged youth aren’t just capable and belong at the highest pinnacles of professional achievement.
