After learning that I had spinal schwannoma (benign tumor), my pain management doctor recommended I see Dr. Watson, who he felt was the best neurosurgeon in the DC area, specializing in spinal tumors to help me. As I’ve found, Dr. Watson is knowledgeable and skilled, personable and friendly, a man who I felt truly cared about my wellbeing and who allowed me some humor and banter to make me feel at ease with the process of surgery and recovery. It was easy to trust Dr. Watson after thoughtful conversation, to remove the tumor, and allowing me pain free mobility afterwards. He didn’t disappoint my trust as I am on my way to recovery. Like so many of his patients, my gratitude is beyond words…it is heartfelt. I can’t recommend him enough and his great staff at Cerebrum MD.

Dr. Watson is a great brain surgeon. All the great reviews he has received are all absolutely true. He made me feel at ease right away. He explained everything in a way that I could understand. He gave me options and was very professional and very kind as well as his staff Elizabeth his PA-C and Claudia his office manager. If you need a neurosurgeon, you could not find a better doctor than Dr. Watson.

Believe all the rave reviews, Dr. Watson is one of the elite brain surgeons. The work he did for my family was flawless. Every doctor we had to see after spoke about how great of a job the surgeon did to remove the tumor. My family is forever grateful! Besides his genius work, he's extremely patient, understanding and kind. He took on the surgery and fit it into his schedule very quickly. Dr. Watson deserves every good thing coming his way! God Bless you.

Dr. Watson operated on me in 2016, removing a large Anaplastic Ependymoma tumor from the frontal right portion of my brain. 5 years remission later and I thank God for Dr. Watson literally every day. I do not know if I would have the same outcome if it weren’t for his thoroughness and skill. Dr. Watson truly is the best there is.

An absolute Da Vinci in the art of surgery. Brilliant, compassionate and caring surgeon. If we could, we would give far more than 5 stars.
