He delivered over 10 000 babies at Grace Maternity and Old Halifax Infirmary hospitals, where he also served as President of the medical staff. Dr. Davis was the founding director of the Well Women's Clinic in Halifax and also developed one of Canada's first gynecological-urology clinics at the Infirmary. He was the first Canadian to serve on the board of the American Gynecological-Urology Society, 1978–82. He was Assistant Professor at Dalhousie Medical School in his discipline, and he authored several publications. He was predeceased by his wife, Esther Hardwicke, after 60 years of marriage.”
