Dr. Mark D Johnson, MD, PhD

I have had the incredible fortune of receiving life-changing care from Dr. Johnson when I was diagnosed in 2006 with a hemangioblastoma. Dr. Johnson was swift, steady, incredibly expert, and an all-around great person who gave me back my life via surgery and many years of tracking my brain health thereafter. Because of Dr. Johnson, I have gone on to live a very happy life with my husband and children. I truly will never be able to thank him enough for his care from onset to today.

I had decompression surgery and I feel worse. He talks to you with no personality!! Get a second opinion. He's as cold as ice beware!!

Dr. Johnson is a wonderful doctor and man. Very professional yet very personable. He explains things in a way a layman can easily understand. His compassion is clear. Can't say enough good things about Dr. Johnson,

My partner, a cancer patient with a diagnosed brain tumor, and I made the trip to Brigham and Women's to consult with Dr. Johnson. He pulled up the scan and impressed the throng of medical students he had in tow with his dire prognosis and urgent treatment plan. Another trip to Boston followed for pre-surgery and a couple of anxious weeks. Before surgery we visited our oncologist who greeted us with smiles asking how we felt about the good news? He showed us the scan, the correct one, showing huge shrinkage in the tumor. You decide.
