Frederick D. Johnson, Jr. MD

Frederick Johnson, Jr., MD, earned his Bachelor of Science degree in chemistry from Ouachita Baptist University, and his medical degree from the University of Arkansas for Medical Services. He completed his residency in Diagnostic Radiology at the University of Arkansas for Medical Services and completed his fellowship in Vascular and Interventional Radiology at the University of Illinois at Peoria. His interest in radiology began in childhood while tagging along with his “other” mother (i.e. stepmother) as she worked as an x-ray tech and local radiology department supervisor in his hometown of Hope, AR. He often stayed the night in the radiology department while his other mother was on call and walked to school from directly the radiology department.

He is a board-certified Vascular and Interventional Radiologist specializing in minimally invasive, image-guided procedures to diagnose and treat a wide range of complex medical conditions. He is known for his compassionate patient-centered approach, clear communication, and commitment to using advanced technology to improve patient outcomes and reduce recovery time.

Dr. Johnson’s clinical interests include peripheral arterial disease, venous disease, minimally invasive cancer therapies, pain management, and women’s and men’s health interventions. He works closely with referring physicians and multidisciplinary teams to create personalized treatment plans that align with each patient’s goals, lifestyle, and overall health. He is known to be collaborative, approachable, and deeply dedicated to high-quality care.

Beyond his clinical work, Dr. Johnson is passionate about patient education, health equity and his family. He engages in community outreach, helping patients and families better understand their treatment options and the role of interventional radiology in modern medicine. In his free time, he enjoys spending time with his two daughters and significant other, traveling, visiting friends and family, working in the yard, playing tennis and slow leisurely runs for exercise.
