Dr. Ray grew up in the Clemson area, where he attended Daniel High School. He graduated Southern Wesleyan University (Go Warriors!) with highest academic honors, but especially the honor of meeting and marrying his college sweetheart, Rhonda. They moved to Birmingham, Alabama, where he attended dental school at the University of Alabama. After graduating with honors, he moved back home and settled in Spartanburg. He partnered in dentistry with his brother in for five years, and then purchased Dr. Anderson's office in Simpsonville. In February 2017 he purchased Dr. Stuart's office in Greenville. Now after years of trying to decide if moving closer back to his hometown was the right call, he finally made the plunge. Dr. Ray purchased Dr. E.W. Rabon's practice in May 2014. The Liberty-Clemson area is now their home. He and his wife, Rhonda, along with Abbey, Eli, and Silas, live nearby.
Dr. Rays hallmarks are his rigorous academic pursuit (extensive continuing education), coupled with his love for people. As a follower of Jesus Christ, his passion is todisplay Christs love through compassionate dentistry in a high-tech, relaxed environment. Dr. Ray occasionally has to be pulled out of rooms for talking too much. (LOL). He is a compassionate, highly-skilled dentist, who loves people, and even more the God who created them. He also can be found in the mountains, where he loves to spend time with family.
