Dr. J. Chad Johnson

Dr. Chad Johnson is a native of Fort Smith, Arkansas. His father is a dentist and he grew up around the dental field. He graduated from the University of Arkansas with B.S. in Zoology and a M.S. in Immunology. He then attended the LSU School of Dentistry in New Orleans, Louisiana. While there he participated in dental research. He received multiple awards for his research and represented the dental school at various national and international dental research meetings. During his time in dental school, he was one of approximately thirty dental students from around the nation selected to participate in the Junior COSTEP program through the Commissioned Corps of the United States Public Health Service and the Indian Health Services. Through this service he provided dental care to the native Eskimo tribes in southwestern Alaska.

While in dental school Dr. Johnson found the limited orthodontic portion of his dental training interesting and exciting. He decided to pursue the orthodontic field further and was accepted and graduated from the University of Colorado Orthodontic Residency Program. Dr. Johnson is an ABO board certified orthodontist. During his time in the residency Dr. Johnson, along with his wife and his young daughters, decided to settle in Harrisburg, North Carolina. The area reminds them of Arkansas and offers them a beautiful and vibrant setting to raise a family and become a part of the community. The Johnson's live and work locally here in Harrisburg.

Dr. Johnson and his wife, Susan, have three daughters, Hailey, Elle and Keira. In his free time, Dr. Johnson enjoys many outdoor activities such as camping, rock climbing, and golf.
