Dr. Davidson was very knowledgeable about the options, and clearly explained the particulars of my health, and why they indicated a direction for my treatment. He made us feel comfortable asking questions, and gave us not only information but perspective. He was clearly interested in the best health outcome.The only suggestion for improvement is that he has an intense manner, and that sometimes the information comes rapidly, and takes a bit to absorb. He was very good at asking, 'Do you have any more questions?' Sometimes it takes a bit of a pause to know what questions to ask.
