Michael R Davison, PHD

This person is half of a pair of questionable people who are also questionable clinicians. I was part of their therapy g...roup at their Arlington Heights location for a few months in 2017. The first occasion on which I noted his lack of professionalism was early in my experience when he prefaced a joke with "I don't know if I should tell this joke with a Korean person in the room but..." and proceeded to tell it anyway. I am Japanese, but was offended mostly because he thought there was a possibility that I would be offended but decided that his joke was just too good to let something like that stand in it's way. The second time was when he said something about how surgeons are willing to hurt people for the sake of money. I am a surgeon. When I called him out on it, his response was "but it was fun to say!". I am also transgender, and abusing me for my gender identification had been a theme in the group. On one occasion a group member asked me something to the effect of whether I was "able to go as yourself", to which I replied that I was but then"Dr" Davison commented "(snort) why don't you tell us what that really means?". Avoid this person at all costs if you do not want to get hurt. more details
