Acute Care

Primary care not only offers an opportunity to discuss disease prevention and management, but can also be instrumental in times when prompt care is more appropriate.

Important notice!

If you are in an emergent situation and need immediate medical attention, please call 911.

Providing swift solutions in healthcare

Acute care refers to caring for non-emergent, time-sensitive conditions such as infection, injury, and pain. Examples may include injuries, upper respiratory infections such as colds and flus, urinary tract infections, abdominal pain, etc.

Some ailments require a visit to the emergency department rather than your primary care physician. Sudden onset weakness, loss of consciousness, or chest pain should be evaluated in the emergency department as they may be signs of a heart attack or stroke.

Questions about acute care

Acute care is available at varying levels in primary care clinics, urgent cares, and hospitals. Based on the intensity and urgency of your condition, injury, or illness, you may seek care at either one of these kinds of healthcare facilities.
We try our best to accommodate same-day appointments for patients experiencing acute illness or injury. Feel free to call our office to find out if a same-day appointment is available or if you can be put on a waiting list if any cancellations occur.
No, unfortunately we do not have an x-ray machine or technician within our facility. However, we are located in close proximity to imaging centers that usually offer walk-ins for x-rays should your provider order an x-ray for you.

Our team is focused on providing patients with quality healthcare catered to their unique needs to empower them to feel and be the best version of themselves.

According to our patients

I was looking for a new Dr. In the area and got a recommendation to go to Dr. Johnson. I was not disappointed, and know I made the correct choice in choosing a dr. He is very nice, honest and cares about his patients.
Dr. J has been a life/game changer for me. In short, I find great relief and protection in knowing Dr. J is a phone call or office visit away. He’s well connected and seamlessly offers quality referral sources for specialty medical needs.
He is the anti-pharma doctor and will only prescribe RX when absolutely necessary. He is an excellent doctor who you can trust.
Dr Johnson is the best doctor I've ever had. He is so helpful and personable and I love his staff. Sama is so nice to me every time I come in. He replies to my emails on the portal which means so much when I am so busy and need help or advice. The fact that Dr. Johnson takes time to to chit chat really makes a world of difference and shows that he genuinely cares about his patients. I am so thankful.
I love the doc! He genuinely cares about me and my health! He always helps me figure out what I need to get better and other healthy options and exercises that will benefit me. All the nurses that work for him are super sweet and helpful as well. All great personalities and make you feel like family. They are the best!!!
Dr. Johnson and his staff are professional, down to earth and Dr. James Johnson takes the time to really get to know his patients, explains his findings, lab and test results and finds the best treatment that fit into the patients lifestyle and needs. He takes the time to understand the patient and always open to talk to about any concerns you may have. I cannot think of a better primary care physician and staff in the South OC area.
Dr. James R. Johnson has been the doctor for both my husband and I for quite some time. We have been very pleased with having him as our general physician. I have recommended him to friends who also have been very pleased with having Dr. Johnson as their general physician. We give him the highest recommendation possible. We are fortunate to have him in San Clemente.
My parents and I have been seeing Dr. Johnson for years and would not have it any other way. He is extremely knowledgeable in all aspects of care. He is an excellent listener and actually takes the time to have a conversation with you. He is very progressive in conservative care and his first choice is never to shove medications down your throat. The exit packet he handed me on my most recent visit was dedicated solely to healthy living through nutrition, exercise and lifestyle choices.
I had a great experience at this doctors office. The staff is super friendly and professional. I felt like they really took care of me. If your looking for a family Practicioner I highly recommend them.
My family has been seeing Dr. Johnson for more than 25 years. Every time he moved, we moved with him. He is caring, he shows honest concern about your health and you as a person. My adult children continue to see him. We trust him! Everyone in his office is kind and easy going. We highly recommend Dr. Johnson.
