What is chronic disease?

Chronic disease is a health condition that has long-lasting effects anywhere from 3 months to a lifetime. Chronic diseases can often affect multiple areas in the body and may not be responsive to treatment.

Examples of chronic diseases include:

  • Diabetes
  • Heart disease
  • Chronic obstructive
  • Pulmonary diseas
  • Autoimmune conditions
  • Cancer
  • Alzheimers's disease
  • Chronic kidney disease
  • Obesity
  • Thyroid disease

Chronic disease symptoms

Anyone who has pain every day for at least 3-6 months has chronic pain. The pain can have a different character. In many cases, it spreads, it often gets worse after exercise and you often feel sore in large parts of the body. It’s normal for chronic pain to affect mood, and unfortunately, it’s not uncommon for long-term pain to lead to depression and anxiety – which in turn can make the pain worse.

Common chronic diseases include cardiovascular conditions, diabetes, respiratory disorders, and autoimmune diseases.

No. Although many chronic diseases can cause chronic pain, they are not the same. Though we do offer primary care for those with both chronic disease and chronic pain, if you are looking for pain management treatments and medications, a pain management specialist may be recommended by your physician.
We work with various insurance plans to reduce the cost of care. Read about the current list of PPO plans and Medicare here.

How we manage chronic disease

Treatment plans

Tailored treatment plans, often involving a combination of medications, therapies, and lifestyle modifications, are essential for addressing the unique challenges posed by each chronic disease. Personalized care ensures better outcomes for individuals.

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.
