When Dr. Davis chose medicine as his profession, he was following in some big footsteps. A third-generation physician, Dr. Davis grew up observing his grandfather, a family practice physician and dermatologist for 50 years, and his father, a cardiovascular surgeon, taking care of people in times of need. His family's dedication and example, along with his own desire to help find solutions for difficult problems, has motivated Dr. Davis throughout his career.
A specialist in foot and ankle surgery, Dr. Davis joined Miller Orthopaedic Clinic (now OrthoCarolina) in 1992. He now serves as director of the OrthoCarolina Foot & Ankle Center. He is also a foot and ankle consultant for multiple regional and national dance companies. He is a former assistant orthopedic consultant for the New York City Ballet. A father of five boys, Dr. Davis also donates his time during each fall providing medical care for local high school football teams.
He has published dozens of articles and book chapters and edits a peer-reviewed journal. He has also delivered over 100 presentations, both nationally and internationally, on topics ranging from shoe wear to surgery for foot deformities and trauma.
Dr. Davis and his colleagues are involved in the development of leading-edge technologies and techniques for foot and ankle surgery.
