Get to know Pediatrician Dr. Johnnie P. Frazier, who serves patients in Houston, Texas.
Dr. Frazier is a trusted pediatrician at UT Physicians Pediatric Primary Care – Texas Medical Center in Houston, Texas. Her areas of interest include pediatric nutritional habits and maternal – child weaning behaviors.
Serving as a Clinical Professor at the John P. and Kathrine G. McGovern Medical School at UTHealth, over four decades of her medical career has been sustained and dedicated to expanding medical teaching/learning experiences to medical students, residents, fellows, faculty, and the local community.
In the last two decades, she has focused on second and third year medical student education pertaining to curriculum designed especially for student learning in an outpatient environment-clinic setting.
Back in 1976, Dr. Frazier graduated with her medical degree from Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center School of Medicine. She then went on to perform her combined residency in internal medicine and pediatrics and her fellowship at The University of Texas Health Science Center at Houston in 1978 and 1980, respectively.
A Fellow of the American Academy of Pediatrics, she is board-certified in pediatrics by the American Board of Pediatrics (ABP). The mission of the ABP is to advance child health by certifying pediatricians who meet standards of excellence and are committed to continuous learning and improvement.

This learning ADHD algorithm was presented as a workshop nationally at the National Pediatric Society meeting in Washington, D.C.
“ In 1994, as Director of the Power Medical Center (PMC), I successfully established a “private best practice model” designed for third year medical students’ education. The PMC clinic provides general services for over 6,000 patients/families where medical students intimately learn and demonstrate their clinical skills in performing history/physical examinations, clinical care procedures, oral presentations/writing skills, and hone their clinical reasoning skills under direct supervision from attendings. The PMC has become one of the highest rated and premier student learning ambulatory experiences sought out by third year medical students” stated Dr. Frazier.
Pediatrics is the branch of medicine that involves the medical care of infants, children, and adolescents. The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends people be under pediatric care up to the age of 21. Pediatricians provide medical care to people ranging in age from newborns to young adults. They are trained to examine, diagnose, and treat children with a wide variety of injuries and illnesses through all of their developmental stages, as they grow and mature.
An authority in her field, Dr. Frazier is frequently requested to speak at elementary/middle schools to students on medical topics / medical careers. She is also frequently sought out to speak on television, radio-other print, electronic media to the general public on pediatric “hot topics”, and has written several peer-reviewed publications and developed several medical education poster presentations.
