Hunter has been a patient of Dr. Fitz to treat his epilepsy. We drove 3 1/2 hours from our local town so our dog could get the highest quality care. Dr. Fitz always took the time to carefully explain details on blood test results and patiently answered all our questions, whether it was during an exam or a phone call after reporting another seizure. She meticulously managed his drug protocol, trying to find a balance between increasing time between seizures without damaging organs. We always received timely communication and she understood how important Hunter is to our family. We know that Hunter has managed to have a longer and better quality life due to her excellent care.

I was in a desperate search to find a neurologist for my puppy, Poppi, who was once again experiencing IVDD symptoms and time was of the essence. I found Dr. Johnson and my life changed as did Poppi's. He was very compassionate and especially honest. Dr. Johnson communicated with me throughout the MRI and surgery, keeping me aware of every step. We are now two years post surgery and Poppi is better than ever! Dr. Johnson was clear about the after surgery procedures and how important they were to the outcome. To say I think the world of Dr. Johnson is an understatement. I travel over 1.5 hours to continue my follow up. Does not faze me. I would travel further. Not only is he knowledgeable, personable and a consummate professional, he is a wonderful man. Do not pass go, do not look any further, just go see him. You won't be sorry.

I’ve worked with Dr. Fitz for a long time, and it’s always been a really positive experience. As a cardiologist, I manage a lot of complex cases, and having her involved always makes things easier. She’s smart, collaborative, and just easy to work with.
Clients we’ve shared have consistently had great things to say about her—which doesn’t surprise me. She’s thoughtful, thorough, and always willing to go the extra mile, even when she’s off the clock.
She’s someone I trust and always look forward to working with.

I love Dr. Erik Johnson! As a veterinarian for 37 years, I have worked with many dedicated specialists. Dr. Erik is the best! He is a brilliant clinician, talented surgeon but above all, a compassionate and empathetic person. He gives everything to his clients and patients. He is quick to answer a call, text or email if I have questions. He gets my patients in and provides thorough records and follow up. The pet parents of the Bay area and their 4 footed family are in great hands with Dr. Erik and his staff.

When our 9 year-old lab, Ollie, suddenly had a seizure one night, we were terrified and unsure of what to do. He was seen the very next day by Dr. Fitz. She demonstrated not only an incredible depth of knowledge and expertise in her field, but also compassion and care for both Ollie and our family.
Dr. Fitz explained every step of the process, thoroughly reviewed the MRI results, answered all our questions with patience, and guided us through treatment options with honesty and clarity. She performed a successful brain surgery on our boy and stayed in contact during the recovery process.
We are profoundly grateful for the dedication and professionalism of Dr. Fitz and her neurology team. We can’t recommend her highly enough.

As a referring general practitioner, having Dr. Fitz as a referral for my neurologic patients has been a wonderful experience. The clients are seen promptly, and treated with a compassionate competence that is incredibly reassuring. The communication about cases has been excellent and prompt as well, making the patient care very collaborative.

We’ve been with Dr. Erik Johnson for six years, ever since our dog Copper was diagnosed with a neurological condition at just one year old. Thanks to Dr. Johnson’s incredible expertise and compassion, Copper is still thriving today. The whole team is not only skilled but truly loving—they treat Copper like family, and he absolutely adores them! We’re beyond grateful for the care he’s received and will gladly follow this amazing team wherever they go. We are thrilled to see them in their new home!
