Background

Jake Johnson, MD was raised in Monroe, LA, and attended LSU for his undergraduate and medical degrees. In medical school, he was recognized by the Alpha Omega Alpha Honor Society, graduating in the top 5% of his class, and receiving the “Physician’s Physician” award, selected by his classmates as the doctor they’d choose for their care. He strives to uphold these two attributes by compassionately caring for patients with the latest treatments and surgical techniques.

Dr. Johnson attended Mayo Clinic for residency, where he received a broad and robust training in all aspects of Otolaryngology – Head and Neck surgery. He received high volume training with world experts in sinus surgery, adult and pediatric ear surgery and hearing restoration (including cochlear implantation), thyroid and parathyroid surgery, parotid surgery, sleep surgery (including Inspire hypoglossal nerve stimulator) and surgery to improve nasal breathing.

Dr. Johnson and his wife Genna, a graduate of Spring Hill College, are excited to return to Mobile with their two children. Away from work, Dr. Johnson enjoys spending time with his family, fishing, hunting, and exercising.
