He provides patients with thyroid cancer, thyroid nodules, Graves Disease, compressive goiters, and hyperparathyroidism expert surgical care, working closely with endocrinologists, internists, medical oncologists, radiologists, and pathologists to achieve optimal outcomes. He has extensive experience with minimally invasive (laparoscopic and robotic) and conventional techniques for treating inguinal, umbilical, ventral, incisional, and other abdominal wall hernias. He is a diplomate of the American Board of Surgery, Fellow of the American College of Surgeons (ACS), and member of the American Association of Endocrine Surgeons (AAES), the American Hernia Society (AHS), and the Alpha Omega Alpha (AOA) Medical Honor Society, and is a grant review for the National Science Foundation.

Philosophy of Care:

Patients find their recovery after surgery with Dr. Davidov to be better than expected because of the multimodal pre- and post-surgical pain management program he uses. In addition to using several pain and nausea medications administered before and after surgery, Dr. Davidov is an expert at surgeon-administered nerve blocks, using newer long-acting numbing medicines such as Exparel (liposomal bupivacaine) to provide extended pain relief in the surgical site for up to three days after surgery, reducing the need for opioid pain medication, expediting recovery and return to work, and improving the patient experience after surgery
