Saied Jamshidi, M.D., P.C., is a board certified neurosurgeon with over 20 years of experience. Dr. Jamshidi is a dedicated, hardworking doctor whose patients hold him in the highest regard and consider himself or herself lucky to be in his care. 

Saied Jamshidi, M.D. has recently received the award of Certificate of Meritorious Service from the Medical Society of the District of Columbia. He was chosen by the numerous tributes received from both grateful patients and respectful colleagues. "Skill" and "compassion" – two of the most important qualities patients desire in their doctors – were the two most common words found in the numerous tributes. Nomination after nomination described in detail Dr. Jamshidi’s surgical skill, clarity of thought, concentration of task, keen observation abilities, sense of authority, and mostly, his kind, considerate and caring nature.

Throughout his many years of practice, his compassion and patience shown for both his patients and their families have not only been greatly appreciated, but have been an inspiration to his medical colleagues. As one of his patient’s sons wrote, "Words simply do not adequately express our deepest and heart felt gratitude for Dr. Jamshidi. He has many times over earned our respect, confidence and admiration. A physician who demonstrates the genuine care and concern over a patient, as did Dr. Jamshidi is a rare find. He is truly a man of integrity and a credit to the medical profession."
Another patient writes, "…It will be helpful for you to know that I am a nurse, and gave 40 years of my life to caring for others and working with many men and women in the medical profession. I feel I am well-qualified to give a professional and personal evaluation and opinion of Dr. Jamshidi’s work and character…Prior to our meeting, I had experienced many years of pain and suffering with my neck and back and endured several surgeries by another neurosurgeon…the other surgeon botched his job of removing a cervical disc by leaving part of the disc behind…He refused to admit his mistake…Then I met Dr. Jamshidi, who immediately gave me the assurance and hope that he could help me—and help me he did! On a professional level, Dr. Jamshidi carries out his medical practice by the highest standards possible. He keeps himself informed of all the current information and knowledge available in medicine. His bedside manner is beyond reproach. He is never so busy that he is not able to provide his patients with the proper care and attention they need. His office staff mirrors his high quality of service and are always cheerful, willing, and helpful in their relationship with his patients."

Renowned public relations manager Edith M. Jones of the World Vision relief organization in a self-profile in the Washington Times dated March 25, 1997 listed as her Inspiration "Mother Teresa and Dr. Saied Jamshidi, my brain surgeon".
