He is a great surgeon that focuses on getting the optimal functional output for his patient. He has enabled me to have another 20-30 years of the life I want to live rather than submitting to a life that would not be fulfilling to who I am. Dr. Davis is able to connect with his patient to provide them with the certainty that recovery is possible.

Dr was very rude from the moment he walked in, gave me more excruciating pain after pressing on my knee very aggressively to the point I was in tears. Then says nothing is wrong with me I’m in the wrong office and he can’t help me because my pain is all over the place. I let him know Elmhurst Immediate Care told me I had a sprain and fluid in my knee. Dr dismissed it and said he couldn’t help me and if I wanted he could order MRI. I walked out of his office without waiting for Dr to come back, after enduring alot of pain to my knee and Dr dismissing my pain without importance, or even caring about what I was telling him!

I feel comfortable as a patient with Dr. Davis. And he is very knowledgeable and friendly. But felt rushed with my questions to him today even though he answered me as best as he could with questions I had for him. Just felt like he was hurried and therefore made me as a patient feel rushed out of office quickly. Otherwise everything with visit was fine with getting cordizone shots in my knee and shoulder.

Disclosures

Benjamin J. Davis, MD reported no external professional relationships for calendar year 2021.

External Professional Relationships

Pharmaceutical, device, and biotechnology companies frequently collaborate with basic scientists and physicians within an academic medical center to help advance science and improve patient care. These relationships are important in achieving scientific breakthroughs and in establishing the effectiveness and safety of promising new therapies. In order to assure objectivity in clinical research and patient care, the Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine (Feinberg), Northwestern Memorial HealthCare, Children's Hospital of Chicago Medical Center, and the Shirley Ryan AbilityLab have adopted integrity policies that require research and clinical faculty (in full-time, part-time, and unpaid/voluntary categories) to report compensated and uncompensated external industry relationships. Patients are encouraged to discuss these disclosures with their physician as well as to inquire as to how these relationships are overseen by Feinberg.
