Michael Johnson, MD

Michael is bringing academic-level MRI expertise into community practice across western Michigan. Helping translate advances in reproductive and oncologic MRI into community practice at ARS, including greater standardization of imaging protocols and reporting across the region, he has expanded subspecialty radiology expertise on regional tumor boards. Through this work he helps multidisciplinary teams make complex treatment decisions locally so more patients can receive sophisticated cancer care closer to home.

Dr. Johnson’s commitment to patient education extends to social media, by which he reaches patients beyond ARS and its partner organizations.

At Michigan State University College of Human Medicine, residents named Michael the residency’s overall Teacher of the Year in 2021, an honor given to one ARS attending annually, and Body Imaging Section Teacher of the Year in 2023, the award’s inaugural year.

Earlier, as a trainee, Dr. Johnson served as a delegate to the American Medical Association and earned the American College of Radiology’s Rutherford-Lavanty Fellowship in Government Relations, awarded to three applicants nationally each year. At ARS, he serves on committees governing benefits, compensation and retirement planning.
