Dr. Ryan Johnson

Dr. Ryan Johnson, MD, a dual board-certified physician in both Family and Addiction Medicine, embarked on his medical journey in West Texas. Here, he provided a wide range of family medicine services, including obstetrics. His expertise and commitment to comprehensive healthcare led him to a teaching role at the Ohio State University Rural Family Medicine Program. There, he honed his specialty in women’s health and prenatal care.

A ten-year tenure in an ER gave Dr. Johnson an intimate understanding of the devastating impacts of addiction. This experience catalyzed his career shift towards addiction care. At Peaks Recovery, Dr. Johnson worked as Medical Director and later Chief Medical Officer. Under his leadership, he successfully transformed the detox facility into a comprehensive behavioral health facility, extending its services from crisis intervention to outpatient care.

In his personal life, Dr. Johnson relishes reading and outdoor activities in Colorado but spends most weekends as a chauffeur for his teenage children’s club sports events.
