About Me

I love to spend time with my husband and daughter. We love anything outdoors, including hiking, camping and visiting National Parks. I am passionate about interior design and can be found spending my free time hunting down vintage and antique treasures. I also love entertaining and hosting loved ones in our home.

Care Philosophy

The conditions that I treat are often sensitive in nature and private to the patient. I enjoy building relationships with patients to understand their goals for care. My focus is helping each individual understand their condition and working together to find the best treatment option. Through shared-decision making, the patient can feel in charge of their own health.

Area of Interest

As a Urogynecologist, I have a special interest in helping those suffering from pelvic floor disorders. This includes pelvic organ prolapse, urinary incontinence, fecal incontinence, bladder pain syndrome, recurrent urinary tract infections, pelvic pain, and vaginal cysts and fistulas. I specialize in offering both non-surgical and surgical management for these conditions. I also have a unique focus on minimally invasive surgical approaches, including complex vaginal surgery, robotic surgery, sacral nerve stimulation and bladder Botox.

Thank God I found you. I finally understand what i have and understand my options. You treated me like a human being. I wanted to cry and hug you. Can't thank you enough. After reading all you provided i will make some decisions. Thank you 😊 🙏

I was thankful that Dr. Ray suggested two options for my particular situation and did not pressure me to make a decision that same day but instead is giving me time to think it over. Dr. Ray is respectful and kind and I really like her.

My only complaint is the room we were put in for the exam. This is silly, but maybe put the elderly in a room where they don't have to walk so far and there is a chair for the person that brings them. Other than that, I recommend Dr. Ray to friends and patients whenever I get the chance.

Dr. Ray was very through and explained everything she was doing and why. She gave me insight into how to best help elevate my symtoms. She even informed me about another specialist that I needed to see that my primary care office did not really clarify with me.
