Dentist lives life of laughter, service By Donna HalesPhoenix Staff Writer
Davis gives back through mission work Tulsa periodontist Ross Waltzer became a friend to Dr. Walter Davis early in Davis’ career through a referral and convinced him to give his time and talent on mission trips. “I’ve been all over the world with him doing mission work,” Davis said. Three of the trips were to Haiti with the Baptist Haiti Mission. “When we landed on a grass field — not an airport — I couldn’t believe it,” Davis said, chuckling at the remembrance. “AIDS wasn’t so much a problem then, but hepatitis was all over, and we had to be very careful working on patients back then.” They’ve been to the Gaza Strip in the West Bank with Palestinian Physicians for Peace. Equador, Indonesia, Peru and Panama have been on the agenda, along with Mexico three times. He’s been to Israel, but not to volunteer his dental services because Israelis have quality dental care, he said. “I loved going to Israel and seeing things you learned about in Sunday School. “I’ve never been to India — but I’d like to go,” he said. Any future trips into the wild blue yonder will have to wait until his son is older. Decorating elements reflect eclectic spirit An elephant Waltzer brought Davis home from one of Waltzer’s world jaunts is covered in clear and colorful tiny mirrors.
