Arkansas Urology announced that R. Jonathan Henderson, MD, has joined its central Arkansas practice. The nationally recognized urologist will be serving patients in North Little Rock, Conway, and Little Rock beginning
“Dr. Henderson is a well-known and respected physician leader across the country, and we are honored to have his expertise here at Arkansas Urology,” said E. Scot Davis, CEO of Arkansas Urology. “Dr. Henderson serves as president of the largest urology trade association in the country and brings not only his expertise in treating advanced urological cancers, but also a strong connection to the urology industry, clinical research, and insights into both pharmaceutical and device companies who are developing cutting edge treatments.”
Before joining the Arkansas Urology team, Henderson worked at Regional Urology in Shreveport, La., and also practiced in Birmingham, Alabama. He is certified by the American Board of Urology and focuses primarily on robotic surgeries and the treatment of prostate, bladder, and kidney cancers. Throughout his career, he has also specialized in laparoscopy and treating disorders of the female bladder.
“One of the main aspects that drew me to the urology field is the fact that we treat patients long term, both sexes, all ages, procedures in both medical treatment and surgical treatment,” said Henderson. “The work urologists do every day affects men, women, children, adults, and the elderly. In this field, we treat our patients and their families not just for one procedure, but for a lifetime. I get to be a part of my patient's life and more often than not, their family’s life. I look forward to joining the AU team and utilizing my skills to serve central Arkansas. This is a well-respected practice, and it is an honor to now be a part of one of the most talented groups of physicians in the country.”
During his time in Alabama, he served as a representative of Alabama to the Southeastern Section of the American Urology Association and as an assistant clinical professor of Urology at the University of Alabama.
