Dr. Joanne Ray, PHD

We went to her to get accommodations for our twin boys. We were needing her reports so they could continue their education. Paid in full and a year and a half later not one communication from her.

I saw her many years ago, as a teenager, and it was so upsetting that I’m still bothered by it to this day. It was my first experience with a mental health professional, and I regretted opening up to her. I tried explaining these symptoms I was having, that I discovered years later were the signs of a fairly common disorder that was relatively unknown to psychologists at the time but has since been added to the DSM-V. I already felt nervous opening up about the strange symptoms I was having, and I still remember how disgusted she seemed by me and how unwilling she was to be kind and understanding to a scared 14 year old. Afterwards, my parents knew I was upset and didn’t schedule a follow-up appointment. She tried to charge them anyways. Sent them bills for an appointment that was never even made.

Very unprofessional and misdiagnosed my child. Was more of a gossipy mom than a professional.

Dr. Ray was a very poor choice for my family. There is little positive I can say about our experience with her. Though clearly helpful for some, we had a totally different experience. Lack of professionalism and lack of communication are just two of the problems we experienced. I have found another doctor in town, and am grateful that we are making great progress with the tools and guidance we are getting. Good luck.
