JESSICA DAVIS

Dr. Davis was my first supervising Clinical Geneticist while I was in training as a genetic counselor at Sarah Lawrence. She instilled in me an unrelenting commitment to patient well-being, a constant curiosity, and a drive to do more. She was a giant in the field and made an indelible impression on countless trainees in the field today.

Jessie was a colleague and a friend of mine. She always had sage advice and was incredibly helpful in figuring out the genetic role in complicated medical issues. Mostly, Jessie was a true mensch. She connected deeply to her colleagues and her patients. She followed up closely and got involved not only with patients medical issues , but with the psychological and emotional repercussions. It was truly an honor to work with Jessie. I will miss her greatly .Meryl Newman-Cedar

My child and I were patients of Dr. Davis. She always gave us so much time. At every visit I felt like I was her only patient for the day. A truly unique medical professional! I am grateful for her attention and her contributions to the field of genetics. My family is healthier because of her work. I will miss her.

I worked with Jessie for many years at The New York Hospital-Cornell University Medical Center and we had a wonderful relationship. She cared so deeply about her patients and was a leader in the field of Human Genetics. To hear of her passing makes me very sad. My sincerest condolences to Jessie's entire family.

I will always remember Jessie´s smile and laugh, and her generous spirit.
