Dr. Davis’ father had a long business career with a little company called IBM. In the 1960’s, every manager at IBM was given a plaque to go in their office. The plaque stated the “IBM Basic Beliefs” by which they were to operate.

Dr. Davis still believes in the core principles printed on those IBM plaques so many years ago. His father’s plaque hangs on the wall of his private office today. It says:

IBM Basic Beliefs:

Respect for the individual

Best possible service to our customers (patients)

Every task performed in a superior manner
