I take a multidisciplinary, individualized approach to care, grounded in compassion, shared decision-making, and patient empowerment. I prioritize my patients’ physical and emotional needs, recognizing the profound toll that years of misdiagnosis or dismissal can take on every aspect of their lives.

My goal is to listen, educate, and empower patients while collaborating with other specialists to ensure comprehensive care and lasting relief.

The fact that it takes an average of 10 years to diagnose endometriosis is unacceptable. With a decade of experience, including five years as a general OB/GYN and a two-year high-volume MIGS fellowship, I’ve dedicated my career to reducing this delay.

Listening to patients is the cornerstone of diagnosis, and I am committed to providing swift access to complete excision surgery, education, and advocacy. This mission resonates deeply, as I’ve seen firsthand how delayed diagnosis and neglect can devastate lives, including women in my own family.

Endometriosis is a systemic inflammatory disease that affects not only pelvic organs but also the muscles and nerves of the pelvic floor. Pre-habilitation is critical to reducing inflammation and pain before surgery, improving outcomes and aiding recovery.

Post-habilitation addresses lingering inflammation and restores function to the pelvic floor, ensuring long-term relief. Complete excision of disease is the standard of care, but addressing the broader impact of endometriosis is equally essential for overall wellness.

I am excited to join a practice that integrates pre-habilitation, complete excision surgery, and post-habilitation within a single multidisciplinary team. This model enhances collaboration and simplifies the process for patients, ensuring they receive comprehensive, streamlined care.

With over a decade of experience in OB/GYN, including five years as a general OB/GYN and a two-year high-volume fellowship in minimally invasive gynecologic surgery, Dr. Davis focuses on advanced excision of endometriosis and minimally invasive fibroid surgery. Her expertise includes laparoscopic and robotic-assisted myomectomy, vaginal and laparoscopic radiofrequency ablation of fibroids, and managing complex cases involving overlapping fibroids and endometriosis. She works closely with general and colorectal surgeons to ensure comprehensive disease excision, emphasizing a multidisciplinary approach to care. By integrating patient education and wellness, she achieves exceptional outcomes for even the most complex surgical cases.

I work closely with reproductive endocrinologists to align my surgical approach with patients’ fertility goals. My focus is on preserving ovarian tissue, surgically treating fibroids to minimize impact on the uterus, and avoiding procedures like uterine fibroid embolization, which can reduce fertility. I tailor every procedure to optimize the patient’s ability to achieve future pregnancies while addressing their current symptoms.

Dr. Davis changed my life! She was the only doctor that listened to me in the past 5 years. I had been in extreme pain for about 5 years and all of my other doctors would tell me that I’m not dying, so I’m fine. Dr. Davis determined that I had endometriosis and provided me with different options for treatment. We decided to remove it surgically and I cannot express how much my life has improved. I forgot what it was like to not be radiating in pain all day every day. She is literally the best doctor I have ever seen.

I’m so grateful to my friend who referred me to Dr. Davis and to Dr. Davis for how great I feel today. From my first appointment through my surgery and follow-up, Dr. Davis treated me with kindness and respect. She patiently answered all my many questions and those that came from my concerned family members. She guided me in my decision to have the surgery and did such a skillful job that my recovery was much easier than I had anticipated. Since my surgery, I feel like a new woman–or maybe more like the woman I used to be before my health problems!

Dr. Davis deserves nothing less than 5 stars!! She is kind and patient and thorough. She makes me feel valued and listens to everything I have to say. I never feel rushed or that another the next patient is more important. She weighs the pros and cons of all possibilities and had educated me throughout my Endometriosis journey. My favorite thing about Dr Davis is her honesty. She never pretended to have all the answers or gave false hope that surgery would fix everything, but that this was a continuous journey and we would take together! Thank you Dr. Davis!!
