Namrata Dogra, M.D., and Benjamin Frazier, M.D., Join UAMS’ Thomas and Lyon Longevity Clinic
| The University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences (UAMS) has welcomed Namrata Dogra, M.D., and Benjamin Frazier, M.D., as new physicians at the Thomas and Lyon Longevity Clinic in the UAMS Donald W. Reynolds Institute on Aging.
Both of the fellowship-trained physicians also serve as assistant professors in the UAMS College of Medicine’s Department of Geriatrics.
Dogra earned her Bachelor of Medicine, Bachelor of Surgery (MBBS) degree from Mahatma Gandhi Memorial Medical College and Hospital in Jamshedpur, India, in 1997. She obtained her Doctor of Medicine in Pathology degree from Mumbai University in 2001.
Dogra moved to the United Kingdom in 2003, practicing as a pathologist in diagnostic and clinical roles at several hospitals in the London area while working toward certification in the Membership of the Royal College of Pathologists.
In 2022, Dogra came to UAMS for her residency training at the UAMS South Central Regional Campus in Pine Bluff. After completing her residency in 2025, she remained at UAMS for a one-year fellowship in geriatric medicine.
“I’ve had such a great experience at UAMS through my residency and fellowship,” she said. “After having lived and worked around the world, my family and I have chosen Arkansas as our home. Caring for older adults has always been close to my heart, and as a geriatrician I look forward to devoting my career to helping and taking care of Arkansans.”
Frazier obtained his Bachelor of Arts in Biology from the University of Arkansas at Fayetteville in 2015. The Little Rock native returned to his hometown and worked for two years as a medical scribe, after which he enrolled at the St. George’s University School of Medicine in Grenada. He earned his Doctor of Medicine degree from St. George’s University in 2022.
From 2022-25, he completed his internal medicine residency at the UAMS Northwest Regional Campus in Fayetteville. He then came to the Little Rock campus to complete his geriatric medicine fellowship.
“Arkansas is my home, and there is no place I’d rather be,” he said. “My interest in geriatrics stems from the underutilization of care among older adults, and I want to help fill that void in the field of medicine. I want patients to know that I’m here to listen and address their needs and concerns.”
Dogra and Frazier are accepting patients at the Thomas and Lyon Longevity Clinic in Little Rock. To schedule an appointment, please call (501) 686-6219.
