Surgeon Testimonial

William Davis
Dr. Davis was absolutely wonderful. He never treated me as a "second-class" citizen but as a patient in need of help. His office staff was always very friendly and bent over backwards to help. His aftercare is beyond reproach. He is very particular to keep your labs up to date. If I had to do it again, his office would be my first stop.

My Journey

The Temple Mound
on July 1, 2008 7:40 pm
When I had my surgery 7 years ago I could not begin to climb the steps to reach the top of the ceremonial Temple Mound at Kolomoki Mounds Historical State Park.  As a child I ran up and down the sides of this mound without batting an eye or my heart skipping a beat. My goal was to once again climb the 78 steps to reach the top and look across this beautiful park that I love so dearly.  I chose today to make the trip up the steps because 2 of my dear friends, Karla and Loretta, came down from Tuscaloosa to visit with us.  Bob and myself took them out to the park to share its wonders with them.  All 4 of us ventured up those steps.  For me, each step was a milestone.  As I reached that last step I felt as if I had won an Olympic Gold Medal.  I had made it.  I was at the top.
