Dr Ray was very thorough with my daughter, and very observant. She listened to all of our concerns attentively and enquired with insightful questions to support her diagnosis. Her observation and attentiveness helped identify other areas that we needed to consider. Would definitely recommend other parents taking their children to Dr Ray with their concerns.
