No. 'The Gloria Scott' and 'The Musgrave Ritual' were solved by Holmes before the two even met, and 'The Adventure of the Lion's Mane' and 'The Adventure of the Blanched Soldier' were cases written by Holmes after Watson was married. There are certainly other cases in which Watson had no hand.
When Helen Stoner ('The Adventure of the Speckled Band') refers to the case of Mrs. Farintosh and her opal tiara by way of reference, Holmes says: "I think it was before your time, Watson."
In 'The Adventure of the Second Stain,' Watson says that in 17 of the 23 years that Sherlock Holmes was in active practice, he "was allowed to co-operate with him and to keep notes of his doings" leaving six years where the two were not together.

Did Sherlock Holmes use police to help him solve the crimes?
Not often, most of the time the police (Scotland Yard) got in the way.
When does Sherlock Holmes become a detective?
It is during the case Watson chronicled as "The 'Gloria Scott' " that Holmes first thought of being a detective. The exact date is not known, but most scholars agree it was the mid to late 1870's.
Who was Sherlock Holmes helper?
Sherlock Holmes was assisted by many people from the streets, the most famous of these being the Baker Street Irregulars. The Baker Street Irregulars were a group of urchins (children) that were paid for their help to Sherlock Holmes. The most well-known of the Irregulars is Wiggins. Of course, whenever Sherlock Holmes went out in a disguise, he did so to gain information--from an informant, or from what he overheard.
Differences between Holmes and Watson?
Sherlock is smart and perfect. Watson is kindly but not as smart. Sir Arthur Conan Doyle created his character Sherlock Holmes modelling him after his teacher in the Edinburgh Medical School, Dr. Joseph Bell. So this character was created out of the elements and faculties of observation, logic, deduction and diagnosis. Dr.Watson was a shadow of Doyle's past inner self from the student days, created as an unpolished rock against which the razor of Holmes' logic could be sharpened. Holmes is pictured as a very detached and reserved person whereas Watson is kind, humane, emotional and social. Watson is not at all a fool or unclever, but he certainly can not raise himself above earthly cares whereas Holmes can abandon food and rest for days if necessary, when he is engaged in a mind blowing puzzle the solving of which needs him being just a weight of nerves. Watson is straight forward and simple and just can not enter the mind of a criminal as his famous companion does. Nor can he invent ingeneous tricks like Holmes to trap adversaries.
How do Sherlock Holmes and Watson complement each other's personalities?
Their partnership works well in this mystery because they communicate with each other and play off each other well, as in other stories. They trust each other, and so they can't be corrupted or easily killed to remove them from solving the mystery. Watson is silent when Holmes wants to lay a trap, and many interesting details are revealed because either Watson is writing to Holmes, or asking Holmes to explain something. Mostly, in this story, it is Holmes' mind and Watson's footwork and observations... Holmes does come out to help Watson in the end, but the pairing works well because they both contribute and work as a team, while having different talents and roles.
Who was Watson in popular culture in Sherlock Holmes?
Dr. John H. Watson was Sherlock Holmes' friend, companion and "colleague". He was an army doctor who served in Afghanistan, and after the case The Sign Of The Four, he married Miss Mary Morstan, heiress to the great (and now, lost) Agra Treasure. He met Holmes via an old acquaintance who told him that Holmes was looking for a flatmate, and consequently they moved into 221b Baker Street together. However, Dr John Watson only lived there for a few years, moving out after he married Mary. After Mary's demise and the Great Hiatus, he moved back in with Holmes until he re-married sometime early in the 20th century. A common misconception about the doctor's identity is that he was the great detective's assistant: however, that was never the case. Watson only helped his friend when they reached the point of action in most cases, and that was only because Holmes asked him to help (knowing that Watson missed the thrill of the war).
