Dr. Johnson-Nowlin is a board certified pediatric neurosurgeon who received her training in neurosurgery at Duke University Medical Center in Durham, NC. She completed further training with a pediatric neurosurgery fellowship at Texas Children’s Hospital in Houston, TX. Since then, she has developed an outstanding expertise in epilepsy, brain tumor removal, complex spine surgery, minimally invasive spine and brain surgery as well as endoscopy.
​
Since 2008, Dr. Johnson-Nowlin has been based in Orlando, bringing a host of novel techniques to Central Florida. She has treated a myriad of diseases including cervical spine instability, scoliosis and Moya Moya disease. She is a fellow of the American Association of Neurological Surgeons and Assistant Professor at the University of Central Florida School of Medicine.
Dr. Johnson-Nowlin has presented her research at numerous national meetings, is published in numerous peer-reviewed journals and has trained internationally. She feels her greatest, most cherished accomplishments are her two sons, Carson and Harrison.

My goal is to provide kids and their families with a total care package; one that mixes skills, technology, and compassion in a welcoming environment. My passion is your child and their brain and spine care.
