Sarah Johnson, PA-C

OWNER | FOUNDER | THE PRIMARY PA

Hi, I’m Sarah Johnson, PA-C — founder of Elevated Primary Care. I created Elevated for people who feel like their concerns have been overlooked — the ones who are tired of rushed appointments, unexplained symptoms, or hearing that "everything looks normal" when they still don’t feel like themselves. This practice is built around something simple but rare — time to listen, space to think, and care that connects the dots.

I’m a board-certified PA with a background in internal medicine, pulmonary and critical care, and lifestyle medicine. I’ve treated patients in some of the most intense settings — including the ICU — and I’ve also worked closely with people navigating long-term conditions like fatigue, anxiety, thyroid dysfunction, and hormone imbalance. My approach blends evidence-based medicine with a whole-body perspective so we can get to the root of what’s really going on — finally.

I began my medical journey during my time in the U.S. Army, which brought me to Texas in 2008. Since then, I’ve earned my MPAS from UTMB, helped launch community health programs, and had the privilege of learning under mentors like Dr. Dorothy Merritt — who now serves as Medical Director here at Elevated.

I continue to practice part-time in the Medical ICU at HCA Houston Healthcare Clear Lake, and I stay curious about the intersection of environment, hormones, and chronic disease. My clinical interests include sexual and reproductive health, autoimmunity, fatigue, inflammation, and everything in between.

When I’m not in the clinic, I’m with my husband James and our children — juggling sports, gym time, new projects, research, and the beautifully chaotic rhythm of family life in Clear Lake. Elevated is more than a clinic — it’s the kind of care I wish more people had access to. I’m so glad you found your way here.
