Dr. Barret Jack Davidson is the owner of Texas Sage Dentistry in beautiful Historic Downtown McKinney. He is from a small town in West Texas, received his undergraduate degree from Abilene Christian University, and attended dental school at The University of Texas Health Science Center San Antonio, where he was a leader and took part in many clubs and organizations, including helping found a future business owners club.
After graduating from dental school (in the middle of 2020…), he worked two associateships: one in his hometown of Graham and the other at a FFS practice in Richardson. After being a dentist for eight months, Dr. Davidson purchased his first practice in Downtown McKinney, Texas, a small 3 op office that had no computers or even internet when he purchased it! Texas Sage Dentistry is a small, boutique-style practice where Dr. Davidson and his staff take time to get to know their patients like family and practice dentistry with the highest quality of care and compassion.
Dr. Davidson currently lives just a mile from his practice in Downtown McKinney with his wife, Jordan, and bernedoodle, Harley Davidson. He loves spending time with his family, watching football, listening to podcasts, and playing disc golf.
