Benjamin Davis never came to talk to me after the procedure, so I was not able to discuss with him firsthand what he found in my knee and exactly what was done during the surgery. He spoke briefly to my mom to say that everything went well, but I had specific questions to ask and never got the chance. He was long gone by the time I was back in the recovery room. I asked the nurses if he was going to stop by to talk to me, and one staff member literally had to stop themselves from laughing aloud at my question. Another staff member actually commented that he was "likely on the golf course by now." The staff was amazing, but Benjamin Davis seems to have fully checked out of the "healing humans" portion of his job. Such an inconvenience us patients are, right?

Very knowledgeable but wish he took more time to examine me and ask more thorough questions, so that I knew he had unveiled everything that could possibly be going on and affecting my shoulder. The patient can't always think of everything on the spot, but Q&A back and forth with the physician helps unravel the story. I sort of felt diagnosed before he even walked in.
