Her dedication to the field is recognized through numerous accolades, including the Top Doctor Richmond award in 2023 and multiple military honors, such as the Joint Service Commendation Medal, United States Army, and the Meritorious Service Medal. Dr. Davey has contributed to several key publications in orthopaedic surgery, focusing on complex issues like slipped capital femoral epiphysis and postoperative complications.

Her passion for pediatric orthopaedics deepened during her residency, particularly through outreach initiatives with the Shriners Hospital, where she realized the profound impact her work could have on children and their families.

Outside of her practice, Dr. Davey enjoys working out, traveling, and spending time with family and friends.
