Specialties

"My goal is to team with my patients and their families to accurately and clearly define their problems, provide understandable treatment options, and to carry out our plan with professional, precise and expert care. Our first goal is to avoid surgery, but when it’s necessary, I have the perspective to advise the best surgical procedure for the patient as an individual. Most importantly, I meticulously oversee the rehab and recovery phase of my patients to get them back to their best selves as soon as possible."

Feedback from Our Patients

"Dr Gray made me immediately feel comfortable and confident in his understanding of my need to see a hip surgeon... no matter how reluctant, I needed to see someone I could trust. Once I started telling him what I've been dealing with for years he basically gave me the best solution to get my life quality back. I'm terrified of surgery normally, don't know many people who love it, but he put me at ease quickly. There's a reason I was referred to him, and I am trusting the process!"

"Dr. Gray is an excellent Orthopedic Surgeon. He is very thorough and works well with his patients. He has replaced both my knees at the same time and later my left hip. As a result, my mobility and quality of life is excellent and pain free from those joint replacements."

"Dr. Gray and his team are wonderful and my recovery was seamless! Along with spending the time answering my questions and the swift program, I went in to surgery feeling comfortable and knew what to expect before and after surgery. I highly recommend Dr. Gray as he is an excellent surgeon."

"Dr. Gray is on time & very personable makes me laugh, but at the same time has the knowledge needed to assess and suggest what needs to happen and get it done. This is a one year check up for me and we have decided that the knee looks fabulous and hopefully we will not have to do any more surgery but will check in periodically with them thank you for your professionalism."

"Dr. Gray replaced both of my knees. He did an excellent job surgically as well as preparing me for this surgery through his staff and the joint class and preoperative meeting with Sarah PA-C. I was standing the day of surgery and walking within 24 hours. I was back at work and driving within 3 weeks. Physical therapy and a successful surgery made all the difference. Dr. Gray and his staff have been great answering questions and support. I would highly recommend Dr. Gray and I am very glad that I did a double knee replacement."

"When I look for a doctor I most importantly look for one that will listen to me; a doctor that will be honest and straightforward but is also very compassionate. I found that in Dr. Gray. He has changed my life and I can't thank Dr. Gray and his staff enough for everything they have given back to me."

"Dr. Gray is warm, down to earth and knows his stuff. I had over a dozen questions and he addressed all of them. He has a professional manner with a side of humor. I think that is a great quality in a doctor."

"Dr. Gray is Amazing!! I’m 54 years old and was having severe hip pains and Dr Gray did a complete replacement and within 2 weeks I was walking without a cane or walker and I’m pain free !
