Meet Tom Davis, MD, the July 2016 Provider of the Month

Our physicians are experts, and great people too!
Meet Tom Davis, MD, the July 2016 Provider of the Month. Dr. Davis is Board Certified in Otolaryngology (Ear, Nose and Throat) and joined the medical staff in 2008. He practices at Davis Ear, Nose and Throat Specialists. He grew up in Cheyenne and spent eight years in the U.S. Army as a paratrooper before deciding to attend medical school at Creighton University.
His inspiration for becoming a physician was based on his father’s experience with colon cancer. Dr. Davis fell in love with the specialty of ENT because of the influence of Dr. Thedinger, one of the professors in his third year of medical school.
Dr. Davis went back to the army for his ENT residency at Walter Reed Army Medical Center, and performed many reconstructive head and neck procedures for soldiers after the 9/11 attacks. He practiced at Brooke Army Medical Center in San Antonio, and was a Clinical Assistant Professor at the University of Texas. He considers it an honor to have served his country and fellow members of the military. After he was discharged from the Army, Dr. Davis was looking to move back to Wyoming, where he still has family in Casper. According to Dr. Davis, the greatest people he’s ever met live here in Gillette. He loves the fact that he can take care of the whole family, from grandpa to grandkids in a solo practice setting. It’s a bonus to be able to live five minutes away from work instead of spending hours commuting every day.
When he’s not practicing medicine, Dr. Davis loves to travel. His favorite destinations are as varied as hiking in the Bighorns with his two bird dogs, to surfing in Costa Rica, to riding his horse on his property at home.
Dr. Davis and his wife Alana have a son Nicholas, who is 18. Thank you, Dr. Davis, for providing our patients with excellent care.
