As a trauma surgeon at Grady Memorial Hospital—one of the busiest trauma centers in the nation—Dr. Drew Davis is no stranger to life-or-death moments. With nearly 15,000 trauma activations each year, he treats patients facing the unimaginable, delivering critical, often life-saving care when every second counts. Double-boarded in general surgery and surgical critical care, Drew trained at Emory and completed his fellowship at Grady, where he now serves as associate trauma medical director. His practice encompasses not only emergent surgeries for critically injured patients, but also includes those operations aimed at treating surgical conditions requiring urgent intervention, such as having an inflamed gallbladder, ruptured appendix, or intestinal obstruction. His dedication to surgery is genuine and heartfelt, but his work goes beyond the operating room—he’s deeply committed to guiding patients through some of the darkest moments of their lives, helping them navigate the road to recovery. What keeps him at Grady? The chance to make a real difference, every single day, for people who need it most
