  • Dr. Davidson is a wonderful doctor. She is extremely knowledgeable, clearly an expert who has lots of experience. She is very thorough and answered all of my questions, never making me feel rushed or that my questions were silly. She is also extremely honest and genuine- giving her best advice and expertise that she feels is most appropriate for your child. After only having two visits, it is clear that she is concerned and cares about all of her patients.
