About Me
As an acute care surgeon at The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center, I care for patients during some of their most vulnerable moments. I chose this field because I am passionate about helping people recover from trauma or emergency surgery, and my patients can expect evidence-based medicine tailored to their specific needs.
I serve as the director of Emergency General Surgery and as associate medical director of the operating room at University Hospital. My practice involves performing emergency and elective general surgeries, with an emphasis on abdominal procedures. I also provide surgical critical care, including for patients who have sustained multiple traumas.
My role includes helping to educate the next generation of physicians. I am a clinical professor of Surgery and serve as program director of the Acute Care Surgery Fellowship Program in the Ohio State University College of Medicine. I enjoy teaching and was honored with an Excellence in Teaching Award from the Department of Emergency Medicine in the College of Medicine.

Consulting and Related Relationships
At The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center, we support a faculty member’s research and consulting in collaboration with medical device, research and/or drug companies because a faculty member’s expertise can guide important advancements in the practice of medicine and improve patient care. In order to provide effective management of these relationships, the University requires annual disclosures from all faculty members with external interests related to their University responsibilities.

They did great
Understood the problem, had a solution
This was my first visit with this provider and I got good vibes from her. I felt I can trust her with my care.
None. All good.
Good
I felt really good after the appointment, I was reassured my physician is more than competent to take care of my upcoming surgery. The risk factors were explained very clearly and also my recovery process was explained very clearly as well.
No issues
Wonderful - answered all my questions!
Care provider was very nice to me. She was genuine and had concern for me
Dr. Knight was very thorough explaining my procedure and left me feeling reassured about my overall recovery
Dr. Knight Davis was professional and compassionate. Explained everything to my satisfaction. Her assistant, Madison, emailed/called in 2 days to give surgery schedule. Unfortunately have to wait 6 weeks for surgery!! On a cancellation list though.
