Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Very disappointing
After multiple knee surgeries and decades of issues, saw Davis for first time. He did not listen to my concerns or complaints. Took X-rays even though complaint was soft tissue pain and recommended cortisone shot for arthritis. I agreed to shot reluctantly hoping it might still provide some relief. After five days with no reduction in pain, I requested an MRI before follow up appointment and Davis refused without the courtesy of a return call with a reason why though it was nearly two weeks of weight bearing pain with no improvement. Extremely disappointed with lack of communication, professionalism and empathy. Scheduled follow up appointment with a different provider.

POOR DIAGNOSIS
HE HAD NO PATIENCE AND NO LISTENING SKILLS. HE IS A DOCTOR WITHOUT A SIGNIFICANT SIGN OF PASSION. WOULD NOT BE INTERESTED IN CHECKING ANY DEEPER ISSUES AND INSTEAD JUMPS TO HIS CONCLUSION WITHOUT COMPROMISE. BAD EXPERIENCE.

Doesn’t listen
I’ve had 3 visits with Davis and he rushed all 3 of them. He doesn’t explain a single thing and when you ask questions he interrupts you and just tells you to do what he’s instructed you to do. He brushes off everything you have to say as if he’s already jumped to a conclusion as to what the issue is. Find a doctor with good bedside manner and who will actually listen to you.

Arrogant
I showed up on time, waited almost an hour, and then this doctor gave me no more than 5 minutes. Rushed me out the door, not allowing me to ask questions. Every time I tried to speak he would cut me off. I left his office feeling so disappointed.

Arrogant!
I showed up on time and had to wait almost an hour to see this doctor. Once I saw him, he rushed me out of his office. Didn’t see him for more than five minutes and didn’t allow me to ask any questions. Horrible!

Rushed and did not explain things to me
I went to him for my knee pain and after three visits he did not offer any alternative treatment beside getting a cortisone shot and didn’t even explain any of the treatments or side effects. Thankful that I went somewhere else.

Best surgeon
Adore Dr. Davis. I had a compound fracture of my elbow in 2014 and a broken wrist/ radial nerve damage. I was a patient of his for years!! I wouldnt have asked for a different doctor. I LOVE him. He did a fantastic job on me- i was 26 at the time of my injury and im now 35- i forget that i had such a horrific injury!! I was so embarrassed and worried about my huge scar in the beginning and now I forget its even there. Best orthopedic surgeon and his bedside manner was amazing to me. Highly recommend.

If I could give negative stars, I would! He is obnoxious and thinks he is so much better than everyone else. He has absolutely no bedside manner. He told me to have common sense and stop icing my shoulder if it wasn’t helping much. I was trying everything for the excruciating pain. He is horrible! If you prefer a doctor with a good bedside manner and one that treats you with respect, he is not the one!

I have seen Dr.Davis a few times. He is, by far, the most knowledgeable, professional and kindest doctor in his field. He can quickly find the problem and treat his patient for a speedy recovery. He really knows what he's doing. Another perk to choosing Dr. Davis is the time spent in the waiting room; there isn't any. He's on time and courteous of his patients time spent there. If you are looking for top notch doc, he's the guy.

I work with over a dozen surgeons. Dr. Davis is by far the most bitter MD to work with. He demonstrates such a lack of respect among coworkers and hospital staff, it's almost unbelievable. I can only imagine how he conducts himself with patients in the office. But judging from other reviews here, I'd say it's quite obvious.

If I could give a zero as a review I would. Do not see this doctor!! Horrible bedside manner, rude and obnoxious. After the office cancelled my appointment they assured me he would call me later that day with pertinent test results. Never received a phone call. I finally called at 5:00 that evening only to find the office had already closed for the day. Do yourself a favor and keep searching for a better physician.

My Mother was taken to the ER after a fall. The NP informed us Dr. Davis had viewed her X-Rays and diagnosed an arm fracture and he instructed them to splint her and schedule follow up with him. She was in pain and very upset. I asked if he could at least come talk talk to her for a moment, to which I was told he was busy with another patient. I told them she would feel better if she could talk to him for just a moment before leaving. Pretty sure I saw him sneaking out as we were leaving.

Dr Davis completely dismissed my excruciating arm pain as arthritis. After several months I was still in pain. He ordered an MRI and never called me with results. I downloaded the report myself and looked up the terms I had several herniated discs in my neck I went back to him and he had not even looked at the MRI after a month. He again told me arthritis i confronted him with the herniated disc results. He did not have enough respect to look at MRI after a month. FIND someone else I did

Brushed off my shoulder injury like it was nothing.... Glad i switched doctors. Found out i have an "Extreme Labrum Tear" as noted on my MRI which the next doctor recommended i get. I now have been living with this injury for 3 months, in pain everyday and finally found out i need a surgery. Do yourself a favor and go elsewhere
