Care Philosophy: It is a great privilege to work as a surgeon. Ive always been impressed that patients who hardly know me entrust their care to me with little fanfare. That trust comes with a huge responsibility, and I take that seriously. For me, that means working hard, listening to, and being honest with my patients. It means that my own education didnt stop when I finished my formal training. I believe patients should be active participants in their own health outcomes. That might mean smoking cessation or weight loss or starting an exercise routine. Some patients appreciate this message, others not so much. I am conservative in my decision making. Surgery can be an awesome tool to help improve quality of life. But operations have risks, and there need not be an operative intervention for every malady. I try to educate my patients so that we can make informed decisions together. ??

Biography: <p>``One of the things that drew me towards doing a fellowship in minimally invasive and bariatric surgery was the potential to embrace new technologies as they come out. In my fellowship I did a lot of advanced laparoscopy, which in turn brings with it a lot of decreased postoperative pain, faster recoveries and quicker return to normal activities. It also allowed me to venture into the field of robotics. We're now able to perform a lot of surgeries robotically that laparoscopically were quite a challenge.`` – Dr. Davis</p>
