Dr. Dávila was so friendly and informative the day of the consult and surgery. He stopped by before the surgery to go over the procedure and where I will have my incisions. My incisions were small and have been healing nicely as I hoped. I had a great experience with Dr. Davila and would recommend him to anyone!

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.
