Dr. Dylan Johnson is a board-certified general surgeon specializing in acute care, trauma, and emergency surgery. Born and raised in New Orleans from a blue-collar family, Dr. Johnson was once an aspiring musician while he worked as a welder, cook, DJ, and in warehouse shipping. While attending local community college for music, he discovered a passion for science and medicine that drastically changed his path in life and would ultimately guide him to medical school. Inspired by the surgeons who saved his legs after a serious accident as well as witnessing miracles from the doctor’s point of view during medical school, Dr. Johnson chose to pursue a career in surgery. His working-class roots and hands-on experience would prove useful, shaping his resilience, dexterity, and deep commitment to helping others.

Dr. Johnson’s true passion is making a positive difference for patients during their most critical moments, providing skilled, compassionate care when it matters most. He believes no other field of surgery offers the opportunity to improve another’s life more than that of trauma and emergency general surgery. A strong advocate on the importance of training the next generation of great American surgeons, he is also passionate about mentoring surgical residents and medical students. After discovering his interests were in perfect alignment with the group’s practice, Dr Johnson eagerly joined Midland Surgical Associates.

Outside of the operating room, Dr. Johnson enjoys working on home improvement projects, woodworking, fishing, playing guitar, cooking and spending time with family and friends. His diverse background and practical experience continue to inform his surgical practice, where he combines technical precision with a down-to-earth, patient-centered approach.
