Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Knowledgeable, professional & seamless surgeon!
I had a breast lift procedure with Dr. Ray, March 17th, 25’. I had undergone weight loss surgery 3 years prior and was left with sagging breasts and loose skin. It really bothered my confidence. I had my first consult with Dr. Ray, he was professional and assured me he would lift them, and give them some fullness the best he could. Now fast forward, I am 4 weeks post op and Dr. Ray EXCEEDED my expectations and hopes for my breasts. He did amazing, they are perfect, lifted, nipple size is smaller to match my new breasts. I am absolutely in awe and so happy. The surgery itself was a breeze for recovery! But it helps when you have a good Dr. I woke up after surgery in little to no pain! My incisions, scars are seamless, thin and are healing amazing. I only took a week and a half off of work. Recovery can be hard with any surgery, but when you have a good surgeon, that knows what they’re doing the healing and pain is nothing! I owe Dr. Ray for giving me my new boobs and confidence back!

Dr. Ray performed a 'mommy makeover' on me in January 2024, and I am extremely happy with the results. This surgery included breast augmentation and abdominoplasty. Office wait times are never over 10-15 minutes, and the staff is very friendly. Dr. Ray is one of the kindest and most patient surgeons. The recovery care was great, and he was always available for any questions or concerns. I highly recommend Dr. Ray!

I am happy that I chose this dr and I highly recommend him!!!

Great Otoplasty! Great Surgeon!
Dr. Ray is a great surgeon. He is very professional and takes his time to make sure the outcome and results of the surgery are as perfect as possible. He takes his time with each patient during surgery to do his best. The staff at the center even told me he was a perfectionist which I loved! He performed an otoplasty on both of my son’s ears and it has truly changed his life for the better. My son is so happy with the results of his ear pinning and so am I! He definitely changes patients lives for the better. He also has wonderful staff and a very clean office. The center where he performs his surgeries is also very clean and has wonderful staff there as well. Don’t hesitate to choose Dr. Ray for your surgical needs because you will be in great care and will love your results! Look no further Dr. Ray is a great surgeon! Choose him today!

Dr. Ray is kind, professional, and cares for his patients deeply. He performed a bilateral mastectomy with reconstruction on me. I was so nervous, but he patiently listened to all of my concerns and assured me he would take good care of me. He was right! My results are beautiful, and I couldn't have asked for more. If you are looking for a plastic surgeon, look no further because Dr. Ray is the BEST!

Dr. Ray is, without a doubt, one of the best doctors you can ask for. I 100% recommend him and his staff to anyone in need. He is professional, well qualified, and very patient- with a great bedside manner. He preformed a minor surgery on me and was readily available (even in the middle of the night) when I needed him for any questions or concerns. He did an amazing job with my surgery and was great at every one of my follow-ups!

I can’t say enough about Dr Ray! I was very hesitant and nervous about having scar reconstruction surgery after I bled out with a previous surgery. He explained the procedure very well and convinced me this surgery would be very helpful for me. He was RIGHT!! It was a life changer for me. Has great bedside manners and always available if there’s a problem he always responds very quick. His nurse Ladonna is great. Also, his office staff are amazing and best office atmosphere I’ve ever experienced. Highly recommend!! Thank you Dr. Ray for changing my life!

S. Allman – Nov 14, 2019
×Post a ResponseAre you Dr. Ray?
Dr. Ray consulted with and performed surgery on our 18 month old son. We first met him when our son was just 7 days old. From the start, Dr. Ray was professional, confident and reassuring. As first time parents, my husband and I were very nervous to have an operation on our baby. However, after the first consultation, we were confident Dr. Ray was the man for the job. The surgery was postponed several months due to Dr. Ray’s most recent deployment, which is just another reason we were proud to have him as our son’s surgeon. The actual experience of the operation was also seamless. Following his operation, our son had a minor complication. Dr. Ray gave us his personal cell phone number and permission to contact him anytime with any concerns. We did so once on a weekend afternoon and got an immediate response back with answers and interventions. Our son was recently released as he’s recovering very well. We can’t say enough great things about Dr. Ray and his office. Thank you!

Dr. Ray is fantastic! My son had a severe lip-tie tongue-tie that was hindering feeding and speech. Dr. Ray was knowledgeable, listened to my concerns and took the time to explain the surgery to me. His nurse was efficient and caring. Dr. Ray was encouraging and thorough, and the day of the surgery, his calm and expert demeanor was appreciated as I was a wreck. My son did great and has recovered well! Dr. Ray really cares about kids and wants to do what is best for the patient.

I can not say enough good things about Dr. Ray and colleagues. One of his colleagues performed my procedures after being burned on 16% of my upper torso, while I was in a 5 week coma. When I was ready for plastic surgery on my neck area, I was blessed with meeting Dr. Ray. He is a wonderful, sincere man who takes a personal interest in each of his patients. He explains clearly and listens carefully to all your concerns. His nurses, especially LaDonna, are top notch in all areas. Love them all.

Dr Ray is an awesome surgeon! In Sept. 2017, I had breast cancer and after chemo we were able to start reconstruction. On March 28 I had to first do the latissimus dorsi flap surgery with expanders then the exchange from to implants on Aug. 28, 2018. Dr Ray did an amazing job with my reconstruction! He was very professional, and at the same time, he was friendly and caring! He was also very informative and he listened to my concerns as well as my husbands. I highly recommend Dr. Ray!
