Dr. Mark Johnson Recognized as Surgeon of Excellence in Robotic Surgery

Mon Health Medical Center (MHMC) surgeon Mark Johnson, MD, has been awarded designation as a Surgeon of Excellence in Robotic Surgery by the Surgical Review Corporation (SRC).

This accreditation distinguishes Mon Health Medical Center from other facilities by providing the highest quality of care to patients as determined by an independent, external process of evaluation. Born and raised in Morgantown, Dr. Johnson is committed to delivering excellent care and the best patient outcomes close to home.

“This accreditation wouldn’t have been possible without the teamwork demonstrated by the Mon Health Medical Center Robotic Surgery Team,” Dr. Johnson said. “I grew up knowing that medicine takes a lot of work and a lot of compassion. We strive to provide best in class care to our patients, which is strengthened by our recent accreditation recognition from the SRC.”

In addition to this designation, MHMC received its achievement in 2020 as a Center of Excellence in Robotic Surgery and is the only such designated facility within 125 miles. At the same time MHMC received its achievement, Dr. Jaschar Shakuri-Rad, was also recognized as a Master Surgeon and Surgeon of Excellence by SRC.

Status as an accredited Center of Excellence means that Mon Health Medical Center has met nationally recognized standards. Not all hospitals and surgeons seek accreditation, while not all that undergo the rigorous on-site inspection process are granted accreditation.

“We are extremely proud of this designation and continued recognition,” said Mark Gilliam, Chief Administrative Officer of Mon Health Medical Center. “Our surgeons and teams are known widely for their excellence; adding this accreditation adds to the myriad reasons why patients choose Mon Health for their medical care.”
