Having been an emergency physician most of his career, Dr. Davila is the CEO and Medical Director of Nightingale’s Hospice in Murrieta, California.
He found himself very interested in hospice care and its unique role in helping patients and families deal with one of the most difficult things they may face in life. At times, the hospital and the emergency department are not the right place to stand with the patient and the patient’s family. The hospital setting can intrude on precious, valuable time near the end of life. Care and comfort are needed, but in a more personal setting.
It is with these experiences and beliefs that Dr. Davila saw the purpose and usefulness of hospice healing, thus opening Nighingale’s Hospice. His mission is to provide comfort and dignity to patients and their loved ones through their end of life journey.

Furthering his education, Dr. Davila went across the country, to Pennsylvania, for residency training in emergency medicine at St Luke’s Hospital from 2001 until 2004. He then returned to California and has been practicing in the Riverside County area since.

Distinguished with fellowship status, Dr. Davila is a Fellow of the American Academy of Emergency Medicine (FAAEM) and a Fellow of the American College of Emergency Physicians (FACEP).
Dr. Davila has been affiliated with the Southwest Healthcare System-Murrieta for 20 years, where he is Chair of the Ethics Committee and teaches residents at the Southwest Healthcare Medical Education Consortium and is more recently affiliated with Loma Linda University Medical Center in Murrieta, California where he also teaches resident physicians.
