Professional, patient, and attentive. She carried out a thorough examination, understood the situation well, and was clear and reassuring throughout. She takes time to listen and explain, without rushing. Her approach with children is calm and kind, which helped our child feel at ease. We drive two hours to see her, which reflects the trust we have in her care. Highly recommended if you're looking for a pediatrician.

Dr Debi Ray was incredible. she made us feel heard and understood out concerns of my son. After being sent away from hospital with no scans/tests being done we thought we was over reacting. But Debi reassured us we wasn't and it was good to get scans/bloods taken to be sure of the cause. We were able to get my son scanned on the same day and his bloods will be taken tomorrow thanks to Debi. I Cannot express how lovely and understanding she is! One of the best drs I've ever had the chance of seeing.

I recently took my 8 year old son to see Dr Ray. She was incredible with him - very welcoming and friendly, and quickly put him (and me) at ease. She took time to explain things simply and clearly and we felt very comfortable with her. I would highly recommend Dr Ray to anyone considering arranging a consultation, and am so pleased we found her. She really took time to look at his results and discovered something quite rare, which I think most would have missed. She is accessible and very thorough. She’s brilliant!

Dr Debi was amazing at fitting in my little one and seeing him for his eczema. The medicine she prescribed alleviated his symptoms and he’s a much happier baby. She got back to me super quick when I initially reached out and we spoke on the phone before I took the little one in to see her. She is an exceptional dr and I will continue to visit her when needed.

Always a pleasure visiting and getting advice from Debi. She’s attentive, caring, and always ready to help. She’s been wonderful with my four-year-old daughter—we’ve seen her before and have always had a very positive experience.

We have been seeing Debi for a number of years now with both of my children, and we always go to her whenever something is wrong because we trust her opinion 100%. She is consistently thorough, never misses anything, and always makes sure we leave with clear answers and reassurance. We couldn’t recommend her more highly.

Dr Debi Ray was so patient and kind to my 8 year old daughter who was a little anxious. She took the time to listen to all my concerns and provide not only the help that was needed, but went beyond by supporting us with other concerns and questions.

Dr Ray listened to my concerns about my child and asked lots of questions to get a full picture, she was was very knowledgable and understood exactly what I was worried about. She then provided clear next steps and treatment required for my child. Very trustworthy, friendly and understanding.
