My experience with Dr. Davis went well. He is a good listener and he gives clear instructions. One thing I like is that he acknowledges all his patients when he has the chance to.
in Long Beach, CA |
I have been a patient of Dr Davis for more than 10 years now. It's refreshing when a doctor and his staff not only do everything they can to address and fix the medical issue but take time to get to know you as a person. Every time I am in Dr. Davis's office, he and his staff make sure to always ask how me and my family are doing. I would reccomend Dr. Davis to anyone who asks for a recommendation.
Redondo Beach, CA |
If only I could give zero stars... Worst experience with any medical professional ever. Went through surgery to fix my sinus problems and came out with more pain and infection than before. Longest wait time: 1.5 hrs. Shortest: 30-45 min. He just doesn't care. Beware!
in Torrance, CA |
I would not recommend him due to his staff?s inability to call patients back about getting appointments or just following up. No matter how good the doctor is if you can?t get to see them who cares.
