I was brokenhearted to learn of Dr. Davis’ passing during my recent visit to Open Wide. Dr Davis has been my only dentist since I moved to Durham seven years ago. I will miss Dr. Davis’s big smile and warm and friendly demeanor. Praying for God’s comfort to her family, friends and everyone touched by Dr. Davis.

Just learned of Dr. DAVIS' passing when I came in for an appointment. I am devastated. My son's started coming to her at 2 years old until they graduated from High School. I became her patient as well years later. I will miss her dearly and her asking about my boys at each visit. My sincerest condolences to the family. Rest in beautiful heavenly peace Dr Clara Davis.

Dr. Davis was the best, most professional, sweetest dentist I could ever ask for. My daughter has been going to her since she was 5 years old, and she is now 18 years old. She is the only one I would trust with our dental care. Most importantly, she was a loving mother and a joy to be around. I am grateful to have known her all these years. Rest in eternal peace.

Clara was one of my dearest friends. She had a rare gift for brightening the lives of everyone around her. Whether it was an. encouraging word or that UNFORGETTABLE SMILE , she brought kindness and positivity to every situation. That smile, so often perfected in her work as a dentist, was a true reflection of the happy and beautiful life she lived. I will miss her beyond words. Rest well my friend🌺🌹🌼🌷

Dr. Davis was not only my childhood dentist, but a mentor as well. She introduced me to the field of dentistry and always spoke life into me. Welcomed me into her practice as a patient, assisting student, and dental student. So grateful that she trusted me to step in for her when she fell sick. She will forever be missed!

My deepest condolences to the family. I recall the last time we saw each other just over a year ago. It was a sunny day and Clara was sitting outside the church relaxing. I stopped to chat with her for a few minutes. I’m so happy to have that memory.

Dr D was one of the kindest, honest and hard-working people I have ever known. It was a joy to work with her and get to know JR, Hope, and Casper. No where else could we go to visit the dentist and always get a hug from Dr D and Katrina. Dr D will be sorely missed. We were blessed to have known her. She is at peace now and that, we are very thankful for.
