Pure professional who supports the difficult nature of brain surgery appointments which are never easy. I had my first successful surgery with Professor Davidson in 2016 and not only do I owe my life to him, but he has steadied me throughout the years that have followed with 2 brain surgeries to date and current surveillance. Full praise and thank Yous to this incredible surgeon and human being.
My recent visit was excellent. I felt at ease and well informed. By A/Prof Davidson. He has a lovely manner of speaking with you and asks do you have any questions and makes you feel comfortable doing that. I feel very confident with him as my Neurosurgeon.
Posterior meningioma incidental finding last September. Must say after my visit with Professor Davidson a week ago my confidence on what to do next is cemented. Best advice I can give anyone is to meet with the professor one to one and get it directly from him.
Only seen him once but I felt listened too and understood. He was very good
Particularly liked that what I had researched was listened to. Also my questions re helping myself at this time were considered. Explanation of how the Gamma Knife worked and what to expect was appreciated
He was kind enough to allow me to utilise Telehealth instead of driving for over 2 hours for half hour visit.
