Dr. Ray is a Long Island native and attended SUNY Albany where he earned his BS in Biology.

After witnessing the power of Traditional Chinese Veterinary Medicine (TCVM) and integrative vet care on his patients, Dr. Ray began his study of veterinary acupuncture at the Chi Institute in Florida. He became a Certified Veterinary Acupuncturist (CVA) through the Chi University.
Dr. Ray has completed the CAETA (Companion Animal Euthanasia Training Academy) euthanasia master program to refine his techniques. The course is described as expert training in the art of gentle euthanasia. These skills have helped to shape the way Dr. Ray performs end of life care. Through this course he has become a Certified Peaceful Euthanasia Veterinarian (CPEV).
Dr. Ray’s professional interests include pain management in osteoarthritis, Intervertebral Disk Disease(IVDD), and non-surgical management of cranial cruciate ligament tears.
When Dr. Ray isn’t practicing veterinary medicine he is relaxing with his miniature pinscher named Hannibal (the inspiration for our logo!), hiking, practicing Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, and visiting new breweries.
