Dr. Johnston completed his undergraduate studies at the University of California at Santa Cruz. He went on to receive his Doctor in Chiropractic degree with honors in research from Palmer College of Chiropractic in Davenport, Iowa.
I can't sing enough praises over the care Dr. Roch gives each of his patients. When my son got hit in the head accidentally and his headaches came blazing back, Dr. Roch saw him immediately and had him back in headache free state once again. I don't even want to think of where my son would be without Dr.
The disease of addiction is multi-factorial having genetic, metabolic, environmental, psychological and spiritual components.

Dr. Johnston is passionate about the healing nature of his work. He has decades of experience treating patience with neck injuries through the Atlas Orthogonal method of Chiropractic treatment. If you are suffering from pinched nerves or reduction of swivel mobility give this style of treatment a chance. Do not expect him to crack your neck the treatment uses physics and geometry.

Can't say enough good things about Dr. Roch. I saw him for 30 years, then moved from the area last year and have not been able to find anyone who comes close to his expertise and knowledge. Now I have a long drive to see him, but it's worth it.

Dr. Roch is a Chiropractor who actually wants to heal you so you don't have to go back. After years of chronic knee and neck pain I've finally experienced healing and can run and play sports again. His gentle approach and use of chiropractic instruments makes visits comfortable and non invasive. This is a consolation for those who are uncomfortable with having necks and other limbs cracked manually.

I've been going to Dr. Johnston for adjustments for a few years now. I normally don't bother writing reviews no matter how good service is or particular products are, but I'm writing one for University Park Chiropractic because both Dr. Johnston and Sharon go above and beyond for their patients. They are not practicing for monetary gain/greed -- Dr. Johnston is in this profession because he truly cares about the health and well-being of his fellow human beings and is excellent at what he does. I am lucky to have found Dr. Johnston and Sharon and once you've gone through a session with Dr. Johnston, you will be thinking the same thing, too.

For years I had been in misery with lower back pain and consulted everyone from primary care, to orthopedist, to chiropractors with no results. My wife discovered Dr. Johnston through a friend, but I was already very closed minded because I thought no doctor could help me. She practically got down on her knees and begged me to give it one more chance.

As atlas orthogonality was knew to me I thought I would give it a try and finally acquiesced after a long persistence of my wife. And how glad I am that I listened to her. I never cease to be impressed with Dr. Johnston's skill and the almost unknown and unique field of Atlas Orthogonality so I began to research more deeply into it. It is so remarkable and effective that I feel honor bound to recommend all those in need of this kind of treatment, to seek out Dr. Johnston.

He has truly change my life. I see him only a few times a year for maintenance checkups and am amazed at how my stiffness and pain disappears after I have been adjusted. He has very good medical credentials and regularly attends all the atlas seminars of the Roy Sweat foundation, which is the pioneering entity that has developed this remarkable approach to healing.

Dr. Roch Johnston is the best chiropractor I have ever had the blessing to meet. I have had chiropractic care for the past 40 years from a variety of wonderful professionals through out California. Dr. Roch and Atlas Orthogonal has to be at the top of the list. I am a homeschool mom and our family is on one income. Dr. Roch and Atlas Orthogonal allows me to function without having weekly visits and for the past five years I have only had to see him an average of three times a year.

His adjustments last. Honestly, sometimes I've gone in to just see him again even though I wasn't out of adjustment. He is a very kind human being and I am extraordinarily grateful to have him as my treatment professional. I am someone who in my younger years lived a wild life, crashed cars regularly and suffered a total of thirteen whiplashes.

The fact that I'm in great health is a testament to chiropractic care. Dr. Roch is a man of his word and Atlas Orthogonal works. Atlas Orthogonal is cutting edge treatment and if you're frugal, and want lasting results this is the way to go.

In fairness, I never went to go see Dr. Johnston. due to the lack of communication from his office. Website looked good, though no hours posted online. I called and left a message, and emailed on a Thursday morning, hoping to get an appointment for the following Wednesday. (my day off) Finally got a call back at almost 6pm from Sharon. She went over the hours and fees for the initial exam and x-rays. but when I asked about the "free consultation" as advertised on the website, I was told that was a 10-15 minute consultation and then I'd have to come BACK for the initial exam.

She couldn't possibly block off the hour for the initial exam just in case we decided that I wouldn't benefit from Dr. Johnston's services. It would be a waste of their time. What? So, I should drive all the way to Irvine for a "free consultation" of 15 minutes and then go home, and come back another time? What's the point of the free consultation then?

Why advertise it? I asked if she could arrange the free consultation and then the initial exam on the same day. she would check with the doctor. I did ask her to call me back on Friday with an answer. I did not receive a call back. At this point (on Saturday), decided to look up reviews for this business. None? What? It looks like he's been in business for a while. lots of testimonials on his webpage, but none on Yelp. Makes me suspect. I decided, based on my interaction with Sharon that I'd find a different provider. Sorry, Dr. Johnston. Sharon didn't cut it for me.
