March 1, 2025JOSE MARIE ALEXANDER D.Verified patient
Dr. Davis was extremely friendly, took time to explain my condition and answer questions, and obviously very knowledgeable. As someone who’s been to a lot of orthos in this area and had my fair share of injuries, I would highly recommend going to him.

Was so pleased with the doctor!
He apologized for running late and was incredibly patient explaining and answering my questions.
I really appreciated him speaking to me as an adult. Sounds silly but very refreshing.
January 22, 2025Nancy S.Verified patient
Dr Davis is quite knowledgeable, straight forward with his diagnosis and thoughts, and down to earth. Definitely would recommend him to anyone!

Dr. Davis is excellent; he was attentive, listened to my concerns, and provided immediate assistance with my situation. My only issue was with the wait time. My visit to the office lasted 2 hours and 15 minutes, of which only 10 minutes were spent consulting with Dr. Davis and another 10 minutes for X-ray procedures. The rest of the time involved waiting

January 24, 2024Celia H.Verified patient
Dr. Davis was patient, informative and matter of fact. He answered my questions as they came, described multiple options and listened to my concerns prior to guiding my ultimate decision. He was the epitome of professional that I would hope for when something so important to my health and longevity is what's being contemplated.

Dr. Lonnie Davis is awesome. The knee surgery was handled perfectly. I couldn't have hoped for a better experience. Thank you Sir!!
July 5, 2023John Matthew A.Verified patient
Great doctor but typical lobby wait beforehand.
June 8, 2023Nicole D.Verified patient
Overall my appointment went well. Dr. Davis got to the point and answered all my question. Only thing I didn’t like was that I waited for about 30-60 before Dr. Davis even saw me. But I’m sure it’s because he was busy. Other than that, I highly recommend!
May 3, 2023Rachel D.Verified patient
excellent from front door to doctor and assistants, xray tech everyone excellent.
I had wished they would have reached out to call me as I could not find the number to call them while I was in bad traffic back up for hours. It would have given both less stress, and not have to back me out as a no show. I just do no phones except incoming calls driving on surround sound. I could not dial them, and didn't have a clue where to park how far my gimpy walk would take, just that after they said I was marked a no show= simply asked them to direct me to the nearest immediate care facility and they came out to tell me they would work me in if it is even at 4pm(past last appointment)- they did, I am so glad they did, and I feel so much better.
Kindest Regards-

I waited over an hour because there was a backlog of patients that had shown up late for their appointments. Dr. was efficient but not overly friendly.?

November 28, 2021Kathy H.Verified patient
He listened and heard what I was saying and while he wasn't the right dr to perform the needed surgery, he referred me to the right person and gave me some what I needed to take the pain away til I was able to get to my next appt.

Very friendly, understand, and knowledgeable.

Simple and straight-forward of getting an appointment very quickly and efficiently. Based on your location, you enter doctor specialty and appointment date desired and ZocDoc will list available doctors and available appointment dates/times. You pick and your request goes to pending. I received a confirmation in less than 30 minutes on a Sunday for a Monday appointment.
August 23, 2021Lon C.Verified patient
Dr. Davis is clear with describing how he is going to deal with your body (injury), with his opinion of the diagnosis, and any potential treatments.
