I have been coming to Dr. Janet Davis for 13 years since I first lost my sight. I trust her knowledge and skills completely and no, she will provide the best options for me. She is extremely thorough and takes the time needed to assess my. medical needs and concerns. I feel she will always be on the forefront of any treatment or option, which could possibly help me. Keep the small amount of vision I have as well as provide assistance for any new options that may arise. I come from North Florida specifically to see her. That is how much I value her as my physician.

All I can say is that Dr Janet Davis is the best in all aspects of her practice.
- 3 out of 5 starsReviewed on 9/22/2024
Dr. Davis was obviously preoccupied with something or someone else. She rushed through the appointment (I'm guessing because she was so far behind in her schedule) and did not make me feel comfortable about asking questions about some of her findings. I felt the appointment was rushed and I didn't feel she was truly engaged with my eye problems and referred me to my next appointment with a different doctor on staff. I feel she is a brilliant doctor but the manner in which she Interacts with patients (at least in my experience) needs vast improvement.
- 5 out of 5 starsReviewed on 9/22/2024
Dr. Davis has been following my case for years, with great precision and professionalism, I have the utmost appreciation and respect for her.
