Jerry L. Johnson, DDS - Inactive

Dentists keep small towns running. Jerry L. Johnson, DDS fits that role in Worthington, where the streets still feel like they did twenty years ago—quiet, predictable, and just a little worn at the edges. You’ll find the office on 1316 McMillan St, a short drive from the courthouse square, where the same brick storefronts have housed hardware stores, barbers, and now, dental chairs.

Routine cleanings and fillings are the backbone of any practice here, but small clinics often handle more than the basics. X-rays, crowns, and even minor oral surgery get scheduled between school pickups and farm chores. The rhythm of a rural dental office moves with the seasons—busy after harvest, slower in the dead of winter when snowdrifts keep people home.

If a cracked molar or a throbbing abscess sends you searching, the number to dial is (507) 376-5525. Appointments tend to fill quickly, especially when word spreads about a sudden toothache, so calling ahead usually saves a long wait. The receptionist will ask the usual questions—insurance details, the tooth in question, whether you’ve been in before—and pencil you into the next available slot.

Directions are simple: head west on McMillan until the street numbers drop into the 1300s. The map pins it just past the old grain elevator, where the sidewalk gives way to gravel. For the exact spot, pull up the listing here and let your phone guide the last few turns.
