Bankole is a true work-a-holic. The problem with people with workaholism is that they tend to forget that people have lives, so on Christmas Eve I received several non-emergency emails from him that he believed were emergencies that should result in me dropping my family time to focus on his work...bad timing and left a bad taste in my mouth. This has been resolved and I am confident that Bankole will be more respectful of future holidays. When Bankole Johnson sets out to complete a project, he is as tenacious as anyone I have ever met. i.e. When he started building out his Completed.com profile, the guy went out all-out unlike anyone I've seen in the past. Same thing with BankoleJohnson.com, his new website. Very impressive guy and a real-world genius.

Honestly, none -- he is a giant in the field I know Prof. Johnson since 2007. He is a word-class leader in clinical neuroscience and an authority in the field. Professor Johnson is one of the most accomplished physician-scientists in addiction and in medicine at large

I'd like to see Prof. Johnson add more of his research to the community. He has a lot to offer the world, I really don't have much more to say. I've known Prof. Johnson for quite some time now. He is quite accomplished in his career and has experience at a number of universities.

When I worked with Bankole years ago I found him to be overly demanding and I felt like I was hostage to him. Not a good experience.

In my opinion, Bankole is a very difficult person to deal with in business. He asks a lot from those he works with, although I believe he's not willing to pay what some people are worth.
