"Dr. Ray is, hands down, the nicest doctor I have ever met. He took his time with me and made sure that I was comfortable with everything. He wasnt cocky or judgemental at all. I felt comfortable with him. His staff is equally wonderful. They are very kind and did everything they could to expidite my surgery. He is worth the three hour drive. Bedside manner is great and I had a wonderful surgery experience. I believe he has an afercare program but I wont participate because of the distance. He did say that he wants me to see a nutritionist in the event I get in a rut. He wants to see me suceed and will back me all the way. "
