Craig Johnson

Dr. Craig Johnson joined Parkside Animal Hospital in the summer of 2002. He spent most of his childhood living internationally, including time in Thailand and South Africa, but in 1986, his family relocated to Zionsville, Indiana. Upon graduating from Zionsville High School in 1991, he attended Purdue University and received his Bachelor of Science in 1995 and Doctor of Veterinary Medicine in 2000. His first stop after graduating was Care Animal Hospital in Muncie, Indiana. After two years of working away from Indianapolis, he looked for an opportunity to lay down roots on the north side of Indianapolis, a place he has called home for most of his life. Dr. Craig's interests in veterinary medicine include ultrasound, soft tissue surgery, and clinical pathology. He is an advocate and supporter of many local rescues, and is always seeking out opportunities to assist rescues in any way that needs should arise. He currently works closely with Indiana Bull Dog Rescue and Northern Lights Sled Dog Rescue. Dr. Johnson resides in Carmel with his wife Cori, and their three children, Benjamin, Jack, and Noelle. He has two dogs, Maddie and Max, both of whom are rescue dogs. He has coached youth soccer for five years and continues to enjoy working with children, which makes sense to his close friends, given that he can be one big kid himself. In his leisure time he enjoys golf, tennis, reading a good book, or lounging at the pool. If you can't find him in the clinic, you can be sure he's either hanging out with his wife and kids or good friends, watching a movie or reality television, at a sporting event (Boiler Up!), or, naturally, on the golf course.
