    Dr. Cali Johnson is a very qualified cardiovascular surgeon. She has saved my life on three occasions! She is very easy to communicate with, she has a very kind and caring personal touch, and she listens. She is a most outstanding cardiovascular surgeon. I know of no other equal to her and the mountain west. I would highly recommend her to anyone who has cardiovascular needs, especially with the abdominal aorta.
