Dr. Karen S. Johnson

My clinical specialty is breast imaging which means I interpret mammograms, breast ultrasound and breast MRI, as well as perform breast biopsies. My job is not only to detect and diagnose breast cancer as early as possible but also to reassure women who have no signs of breast cancer. The most gratifying thing about my job is the patients. It is a privilege to meet and interact with so many women every day. I think I can speak for all of the breast imagers at Duke when I say I am honored and humbled that they put their trust in me and my clinical skills. My colleagues and I keep one another striving for excellence and we take our jobs very, very seriously. I (we) have dedicated our life’s work to helping women navigate the sometimes confusing pathway of medical care, specifically as it pertains to breast cancer, and we take great pride in what we do.
