John S. Morrison, DO

Dr. John S. Morrison was inspired to become a radiologist by family ties. He was exposed to medicine at a young age by his father, a working physician. He recalls being fascinated by the use of knowledge and technology to save lives.

Dr. Morrison loves being able to get to the root of a patient’s problem by scrutinizing information contained in medical images, allowing radiologists to see into the body where no one else can. Radiologists are known as “doctors’ doctors” and it is this role as investigators that keeps the work alive and fascinating, he says.

When not spending his free time taking vacations with the family, Dr. Morrison stays busy with an eye-popping plethora of memberships in medical organizations including the American College of Radiology, American Osteopathic Association, Michigan Osteopathic Association, American Osteopathic College of Radiology, Radiologic Society of North America, Michigan State Medical Society, Michigan Radiologic Society, Genesee County Medical Society, and the Genesee County Osteopathic Society.

Dr. Morrison likes that RMI is a physician-owned practice, which he says keeps the focus on patient care. He notes the structure of the practice allows for making changes and improving quality and efficiency in much shorter periods of time than is found in large hospital systems. At the same time, RMI is large enough to have the technology, strategic vision, and expertise that many smaller imaging practices cannot attain.
