Patient Testimonial
Dr. Davis was great! He has such a calm demeanor and is super informative. He was friendly and outgoing at all of my appointments and answered all my questions. I felt very confident and safe in his care.

Dr. Davis sat with us and answered my many questions. I felt heard and he was also very kind. Very excited to start our journey here.

Our initial consult with Dr. Davis was almost 2 hours long. We asked him hard questions and after talking about our struggles, he was confident to try less invasive and costly routes while managing underlying medical issues. We immediately felt loved and cared for here.

I’ve worked in medicine for over 12 years and didn’t think I needed an office that cares about your mental health. I didn’t realize what I was missing until I came here. We’re just starting our journey with Dr. Davis and SGF, but every step has been positive and refreshing.

Q&A

I love making science and medicine understandable to everyone. As a doctor, I find real joy in connecting with people to understand where they are in their family building journey rather than to jump straight to a treatment that may work for 90% of people. All too often I hear patients say they were told to take a certain medication or treatment but really didn’t know why or what to expect. The human body has an incredible way of adapting to a person’s individual environment. Finding the right treatment for any individual patient starts with learning about them and empowering them with knowledge about their own fertility.

I studied biochemistry, psychology, and medical ethics — reproductive endocrinology is essentially those 3 subjects rolled into one career. People talk about the mind-body connection a lot and when you get right down to it, the clearest mind-body connection is the hormones of the brain communicating with the ovaries or testes to help humans have kids. When someone is struggling to build their family, it can be physically, emotionally, and spiritually taxing on even the most grounded person. I love that I get to be a part of my patient’s fertility journey. I see my role as a reproductive endocrinologist to support, educate, encourage, and ultimately celebrate their success when that day comes. 

Shady Grove Fertility is dedicated to giving each patient the best possible chance at success. This is my top goal and I am honored to be part of an organization that prioritizes exceptional patient care and world class success rates. 

I am constantly inspired by my patients. The level of hope and optimism so many patients maintain in the face of struggle is amazing. 

Every patient is unique, so I start by getting to know all I can about them. We then work together, as a team, to make a plan that they feel comfortable with. I find that by giving my patients the tools to make confident decisions about their care, patients are empowered, and this leads to success. 
 

I am inspired by everyone who pursues their definite major purpose even when it seems unachievable.

Eternally optimistic.

To master the art of soufflé. I’ve never tried to make one, but I understand it can be quite difficult.

Reading fiction. I love to get lost in a great book.

I spend time with my family and enjoy good food.
