Dr. Jeffrey Davis is a board-certified orthopaedic surgeon specializing in total hip and knee replacement procedures.
With nearly three decades of experience, Dr. Davis is recognized as one of the Birmingham area’s leading experts in advanced joint replacement and hip resurfacing surgery.
Born in Decatur, Alabama, Dr. Davis moved to Atlanta at the age of seven. A lifelong athlete, he attended the Georgia Institute of Technology, where he played football for three years before a knee injury ended his collegiate career—an experience that later inspired his passion for orthopaedics.
After graduating from Georgia Tech, he earned an Air Force scholarship to attend the Medical College of Georgia, where he received his medical degree.
Dr. Davis completed his orthopaedic surgery residency at the renowned Campbell Clinic in Memphis, Tennessee—one of the nation’s most respected programs in orthopaedic education and training. Following residency, he served as an orthopaedic surgeon in the United States Air Force, achieving the rank of Major and earning an Achievement Medal for his service.
In 1995, Dr. Davis relocated to Birmingham to join Dr. James R. Andrews and the Alabama Sports Medicine & Orthopaedic Center (now Andrews Sports Medicine). Since then, he has treated and operated on thousands of patients, helping them regain mobility, reduce pain, and return to active lifestyles.
Dr. Davis has a particular interest in minimally invasive joint replacement techniques and procedures that limit exposure—especially for younger, active patients. He has established the largest hip resurfacing practice in the region, performing more than 600 hip resurfacing procedures since 2008 with excellent patient satisfaction and long-term outcomes. The procedure, reserved for younger male patients who meet specific bone and activity criteria, allows for greater joint preservation and return to high-level activity.
A pioneer in robotic joint replacement, Dr. Davis was among the first surgeons in Birmingham to adopt Stryker’s Mako Robotic-Arm Assisted Technology. He has now performed almost 2,500 robotic-assisted hip and knee surgeries, using the Mako System to personalize each procedure for optimal alignment, precision, and consistency. This advanced approach provides patients with faster recovery, less pain, and more reliable results compared to traditional joint replacement methods.
When he’s not in the operating room, Dr. Davis enjoys spending time with his family, staying active, and supporting local sports and community events.

Learn MoreGoing into 2024, I never imagined needing two hip replacements. Years of running caught up with me, and osteoarthritis made everyday movement painful. With the help of Dr. Rachel Henderson and Dr. Jeffery Davis at Andrews Sports Medicine, I had both hips replaced—and now I’m on the road to making my comeback.

It all started back in 2014, when I was living overseas in China at the time. One day my hip started bothering me. It continued to get worse and by Fall of that year, I could barely walk. I moved back to Birmingham around that time and knew that Andrews Sports Medicine was the best in the business.

Living in the Montgomery, AL area, it can be a long drive to Andrews Sports Medicine in Birmingham. However, the drive is definitely worth the time. Dr. Jeffrey Davis and Dr. Charles Carnel are both extremely professional and knowledgeable while still having the ability to truly sympathize with their patient’s situation. The staff are all so kind and helpful, and everyone in the office is just outstanding.

Our 2011 experience with Dr. Davis solidified our “long-term relationship” with Andrews Sports Medicine. When I started having knee issues brought on by osteoarthritis, I wanted to be treated by Dr. Davis because of the first-class care Michele had received years earlier. For years, we were able to alleviate my pain with conservative, non-surgical treatment. Fast forward, I started having trouble with my left knee again and wanted to see Dr. Davis. He determined I needed a knee replacement.

I had been diagnosed with degenerative joint disease of the left hip back in 2006. I believe it all started with a snow skiing accident in the early 1980's. I was told at the time of diagnosis that when it got to where the pain was sufficient, I would most likely need a hip replacement. For about 15 years I just lived with the pain and the limited range of motion issues. I was thinking the longer I can endure…
