It took 3 months to see him for the 1st appt. I was impressed that he answered all my questions and expounded on how my condition (completely new to me) might progress. He prescribed tests. Then I was told he would be leaving Hopkins in ~4 months. That was a blow!

I like Dr. Witham's attention to detail, and his willingness to try to help someone who is considered a complex case - it gives that person some hope of feeling better.

Great doctor

Dec 2, 2025
Dr. Witham was by far one of the best physicians I have encountered in a while. I did not feel rushed and he took time to ask me questions and explained my health situation. I left his office feeling encouraged and hopeful. He has such great bedside manner and left me feeling that he cared about my health. I cannot stop raving about him.

I am a patient at Johns Hopkins Medicine because of the quality of care from a physician -- NOT a patient of a physician because they are affiliated with Johns Hopkins Medicine. Dr. Timothy Witham is a consummate professional who merits trust.

Good

Nov 25, 2025
Dr. Witham is excellent as always. So was his resident/fellow [staff]

Nov 25, 2025
Dr Witham is a wonderful neurosurgeon and I fully trusted his decision not to do surgery on my spine and gave me solid reasons why. I respected his decision. He said to continue with the Epidurals and if and when they no longer help with the pain contact him and he'll see what can be done too relieve my pain.

Nov 25, 2025
This was my first visit with Dr. Witham. I found him down to earth, friendly, thorough, knowledgeable, and explained things so that I could understand.

Nov 25, 2025
Dr. Witham & his other Dr's are amazing professionals. Dr. Witham is caring, empathetic, sympathetic and kind. I am devastated that Dr. Witham is leaving JHH but I understand after 20 years, it's time for him to take his expertise to another University Medical Center and teach his brilliant mind and talented hands with others.Dr. & Mrs. Tim Witham will missed very much.
