Dr. Margaret O. Johnson
Overview
I am an adult neurologist with further specialization in neuro-oncology. I treat adult patients with central nervous system (CNS) tumors of the brain and spine.

I encourage my patients to be open and honest with me about their symptoms so I can find ways to help them feel better while undergoing treatment.
