About Michael K Davis

As a board-certified pediatrician and pediatric gastroenterologist/hepatologist/nutritionist at the University of Florida’s Department of Pediatrics, I bring specialized expertise in children’s digestive health alongside my passion for treating all aspects of pediatric care. While I’ve dedicated much of my research and clinical work to understanding complex gastrointestinal disorders, nothing brings me more joy than helping children of all ages thrive – whether they’re struggling with stomach issues, fighting a seasonal cold, or coming in for their annual check-up. Throughout my 15 years of practice, I’ve learned that every child has their own unique story, and I take pride in creating individualized treatment plans that consider not just the medical needs, but the whole child. Here at UF Health, I work alongside a world-class team of pediatric specialists, offering comprehensive care in our child-friendly clinic where we welcome patients from newborns to adolescents. Whether your child needs specialized GI care or a dedicated pediatrician who’ll be there for every milestone, I’m currently accepting new patients and would be honored to partner with your family in nurturing your child’s health and well-being.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​
