About Dr. Gray:

I give each patient my best, and value time and attention centered on identifying the root problem to properly diagnose and treat patient conditions. I am a true believer in meeting each patient with a whole person vision and always consider the “why”. I will walk alongside each patient, to be their calm and health partner ranging from family practice to addiction and behavioral health problems.

I find that a lifetime of working among a great diversity of patients and communities in a variety of settings has given me a degree of adaptability, respectfulness, and eagerness to listen and learn from those I serve. I am humbly grateful for those experiences, because I suspect that no amount of formal training could confer such a gift.

Locally, I continually educate my peers. I enjoy sharing the latest information as it relates to the science and treatment of addiction.

  • Patient Testimonial

    "He is not your run-of-the-mill provider. He gets to know his patients' medical and personal histories and look at our medical/behavioral health through a kaleidoscope. He thinks outside of the box. Addressing the issue we initially present to him is just the first step. He looks at all of our issues and searches to find out if any of our treatments may be affecting another. He takes the time to map out a realistic treatment plan that works and gives us the most positive outcome. Understanding our whole medical history leads to suggestions, ideas and improvements in all areas of our medical/behavioral health. He lets us ask questions and takes the time to find the answers well beyond our appointment time. He provides so much more than just treatment for us. It's the information and advice that affects our daily lives and will for the rest of our lives.
