Dr. Ray is cheerful and smart. We are always glad to see her. My developmentally delayed daughter talks about her a lot. She never forgets a good kind person.

Excellent service

One of the things I have learned in my many sessions with Dr Ray is that I can usually anticipate her questions, and she is very concerned and involved in my personal experience and cares very much about me. When I challenge her on anything that she says, she listens respectfully and can come up with an alternative for her suggestion. I often have many ideas, and she helps me narrow them down. I am not patient but she helps me prioritize issues in my self care. I believe that we work pretty well together, and we have been seeing one another for close to 20 years now with other family members involved or not. So whenever I walk into her office, I don't feel anxious, and anxiety is my worst presenting symptom. I always look forward to seeing her because I know that she is trying to help me with whatever is going on with me.
