Johnson Dermatology

What Johnson Dermatology does

Johnson Dermatology is a private, physician-owned dermatology practice founded in 2006 by Drs. Brad and Sandy Johnson in Fort Smith, Arkansas, serving the River Valley region across two clinic locations (Fort Smith and Alma). The practice delivers comprehensive dermatologic care spanning medical dermatology (acne, psoriasis, rosacea, atopic dermatitis, alopecia, skin cancer screening), Mohs micrographic surgery (the only fellowship-trained Mohs surgeon in the region), cosmetic/aesthetic procedures (BOTOX, fillers, lasers, body contouring, skin tightening), and an onsite dermatopathology laboratory. The practice also operates a clinical research department that has conducted more than 75 dermatology clinical trials with Dr. Sandy Johnson as principal investigator on 100+ trials, contributing to FDA approvals for medications including Zoryve, Dupixent, VTAMA, and others. The provider team includes 5 board-certified dermatologists, 2 dermatopathologists, 3 nurse practitioners, 2 physician assistants, and multiple certified injectors, including Nina Copeland who is in the top 1% of US injectors across Allergan, Evolus, Galderma, and Revance.

The business operates four revenue streams: insurance-billed medical dermatology (including a Medicaid walk-in clinic), out-of-pocket cosmetic procedures financed via Alle Payment Plans (powered by Cherry) and CareCredit, retail sales of medical-grade skincare products (SkinMedica, Colorescience, Alastin, Nutrafol, Latisse, Revision, Xtresse, Hydrinity, Revian) through in-clinic and online channels, and clinical trial grants/research compensation. Technology infrastructure includes multiple FDA-cleared device platforms (Sofwave, CoolSculpting Elite, Emsculpt Neo, Emsella, PICO, PDL, IPL, SkinPen), a Patient Web Portal, Wufoo-integrated intake forms, and a Constant Contact newsletter. Distribution is direct-to-consumer via two physical clinics, walk-in access (general Thursday walk-ins and a dedicated Medicaid walk-in clinic), phone/text inquiry lines, an e-commerce storefront, and a JD Elite membership program providing special pricing and dedicated coordinator access.

The practice is structured as a Professional Limited Liability Company (Johnson Dermatology Clinic, PLLC) under Arkansas law, with no disclosed external investors, parent company, or subsidiaries. Brand reputation is anchored in 20 years of community presence, "Best of the Best dermatologist" recognition every year since the competition started, Diamond Award and Top 250 injector status from Allergan, Evolus Elite injector recognition, and Dr. Sandy Johnson's regular media appearances in national outlets including NPR, Wall Street Journal, Allure, and Prevention. The practice holds 3 patents (for wart and herpes simplex treatments), has published 100+ scientific articles, and operates teaching relationships with ARCOM, UAMS, and UAFS.
