Dr. Davis is double board-certified in Anesthesiology and Interventional Pain Management. He is a native-born Texan who studied physics at The University of Texas at Arlington as a member of the Alpha Chi Honor Society, and then went on to obtain his medical degree at Texas A&M University College of Medicine. He completed his internship in Medicine and Pediatrics at Scott and White Memorial Hospital, and his residency at University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. He was the Director of Anesthesiology at Fayette Memorial Hospital in La Grange, Texas from 1995 until 2000, and has been an active member of the American Society of Interventional Pain Physicians and the President of Interventional Pain Management, PA since 2000.
In addition to performing thousands of fluoroscopically-guided spinal injections for the diagnosis and treatment of pain, he has a long history of successfully treating neuropathic pain syndromes with implantation of spinal cord stimulators and peripheral nerve stimulators (neuromodulation). He was a speaker on this subject at the neuroscience conference at Stephen F. Austin University to healthcare professionals on neuromodulation in 2006. He was the first physician to perform percutaneous kyphoplasties for vertebral compression fractures in Nacogdoches, Texas, and he is the only area physician performing percutaneous sacroplasty for sacral insufficiency fractures.
Dr. Davis has a special passion for pursuing the investigation of stem cell administration for neurologic conditions such as MS, Parkinson’s disease, dementia, stroke, peripheral neuropathy, spinal and neuropathic pain, and in particular, spinal cord injury and traumatic brain injury. To this end, he has pioneered the use of the C1-C2 intrathecal injection of SVF, which we believe allows a greater concentration of stem cells to access the brain and spinal cord. These specialized placements are conducted under fluoroscopic guidance in his in-office surgical suite under sedation.
He is also personally interested in the potential effect of SVF on diabetes and its complications, as his lovely wife and two of their thirteen shared children live with Type 1 diabetes. Dr. Davis believes it is a blessing to have the opportunity to sincerely make a difference in peoples’ lives and continues to be excited at the wonder and science of stem cells.
