DR. SARAH JOHNSON
BOARD CERTIFIED FAMILY PHYSICIAN

Hello! I can't wait to meet you.​

 

My name is Dr. Johnson but most of my patients just call me Dr. Sal. Being a physician has taught me so much about the world around me and I owe it to my patients for helping me to become a better, more connected and grounded person. 

 

As Portland residents for the past several years, my husband Chris and I have fallen in love with the heart and soul that drives this growing city. It was an easy decision to put down roots both personally and professionally here. ​After completing my undergraduate degree at Boston College, I moved to Maine to attend medical school at University of New England, where I quickly realized I wanted to care for people of all ages and all walks of life. Becoming a family doctor was an easy choice for me as I moved on to complete my residency training at Maine Dartmouth in Augusta. Currently, I am working as an attending hospitalist at Northern Light Mercy Hospital right here, in Portland!

 

Over the years, I have developed a passion for lifestyle and preventative medicine with a strong interest in nutrition, health optimization, and longevity. With the creation of Rhythmia, I hope to emphasize personalized care that centers around each patient's own individual story. Additionally, as an artist and performing musician, I feel strongly about the role that art, collaboration, and creativity has played in keeping me healthy and balanced. As a training physician, I couldn't help but notice how little we focus on creativity, adventure, music and the arts in healthcare. How can we leave something so critical out of the formula?

With Rhythmia, I hope to curate the accessible and relatable care that Portland creatives have been seeking. I hope that by stepping outside of the box myself, that I will help to inspire patients to see the beauty in stepping outside the box themselves.
