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.

Caring Doctor
Dr. Ray is a wonderful caring doctor. I had an enlarged kidney and was worried that I had kidney cancer since that was what my Mom died from. He did all kinds of tests and discovered that the tube from my kidney was somehow kinked. He repaired it and now my kidney has been functioning since 2018. It will always be smaller but works. I highly recommend Dr. Ray!

Dr. Ray performed 2 surgeries for my nearly 80 year old dad: a kidney and cancer tumor removal and an inguinal hernia with bladder inclusion. He has been an excellent doctor, caring, understanding, cautious, and informative. I feel he performed his duties to the best of his abilities and exceeded our expectations for care. I would definitely recommend Dr. Ray to anyone needing urologic care. We are so thankful for him in our time of need.

I highly recommend Dr. Ray. He is highly qualified and very professional. He is compassionate and takes time with his patients to answer their questions and explain any treatments or procedures. My mother has received exceptional care and we are very fortunate to have found him.

Was in the Central Baptist ER, they put him as a follow up for the next day. I had a CT scan showing blockage. Also, I was dehydrated from vomiting and not eaten in 3 days. I call the office at 9 am, no one answers. On the 3rd time someone does. They said that the earliest they could get me in for an evaluation was 3 days later. The nurse said it was an emergency situation. So they go to Dr. Ray who apparently tells them that I will be okay until then. They wouldn't recommend another Dr.
