Dr. Davidson is wonderful! He is so experienced, professional, friendly, and reassuring and he answered all my questions. He explained exactly what was going on with my valve, showed me my echo, and showed me possible options for my treatment. I like that he is taking a conservative approach by starting me on a diuretic first. I would highly recommend him to anyone having valve regurgitation issues. I feel relieved and encouraged knowing I'm in the best of care with Dr. Davidson.

Did a video call with Dr Davidson. I felt he is extremely experienced in aortic valve replacement. He didn't push this surgery and gave me some options to explore my fatigue: more tests, + CT scans in 3 & 6 months.

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.

Patients are encouraged to discuss these disclosures with their physician as well as to inquire as to how these relationships are overseen by Feinberg.
