Meet Dr. Rachel Davis, DVM, MS, Diplomate, ACVO – Ophthalmologist

Dr. Davis is a board-certified veterinary ophthalmologist with a deep love for animals and a passion for restoring sight. She provides thorough eye exams to diagnose eye conditions, relieve pain, and help pets see clearly and comfortably again. Her extensive education and research contributions makes her an exceptional ophthalmologist—her compassion makes her an extraordinary doctor.

Dr. Davis: I learned about the specialty of veterinary ophthalmology and dog cataract surgery in veterinary school (at Purdue) when a patient there, Roxie, had her cataracts removed. Roxie had been blind for a year and woke up from surgery able to see again. I decided then that pet cataract surgery was my calling. It was so special to see Roxie recognize her mom and carry her toys around again.

Dr. Davis: I earned my undergraduate degree in Biology at Franklin College, just south of Indianapolis. After veterinary school, I completed an ophthalmology residency at the University of Georgia, where I learned to do animal eye surgery and treat animal eye conditions.

Dr. Davis: I’d say my favorite part is seeing the change in my patients from the first time I meet them to after they’ve had treatment. They typically come in with blinking, rubbing their eyes or just not confident because they can’t see very well. After treatment, they are usually so happy! Just running up to the treat jar and curious about everything they see.

Dr. Davis: Besides my obsession with pet eyes and vision, I absolutely love watching how special pets are to people. I feel that every day, I get to be a part of a special bond unlike any other. I wanted to create a clinic that made pets and people feel warm and happy, kind of like that bond.

Dr. Davis: My professional affiliations include:

Member – Indiana Veterinary Medical Association
Member – American College of Veterinary Ophthalmologists
ACVO – Voluntary Maintenance of Certification with the American Board of Veterinary Ophthalmology
Member – American Veterinary Medical Association
Member – Central Indiana Veterinary Medical Association
