Trinity Health is pleased to welcome Michael Johnson, MD, FACS, to our medical staff as an acute care surgeon. His focus is providing surgical care to patients in need of trauma, critical care and emergency surgery. A board-certified general surgeon and a Fellow of the American College of Surgeons, Dr. Johnson brings three and a half decades of surgical experience to his position. He currently serves as a Clinical Instructor in Surgery with the UND School of Medicine and Health Sciences. A Michigan native, Dr. Johnson earned his medical degree from the University of Michigan Medical School, Ann Arbor, and completed his internship and general surgery residency at the Medical Center of Delaware in Wilmington. Post-residency, he returned to Michigan to begin 30 years of practice encompassing general, trauma and vascular surgery. Later, he turned to locum tenens work as a change of pace, serving patients in the upper Midwest, including hospitals in Bismarck, Grand Forks and at Trinity Health. Impressed by Trinity’s new surgical facilities, he chose to return to permanent practice at Trinity Health. He and his wife of 40-plus years have four children and several grandchildren.
