I love Dr Gray. He is the most patient doctor, I believe I have ever seen. He listens to what you have to say, and pay attention. His knowledge is at times just unbelievable because he knows so much. The Care he has shown me over the years, tells me he is in the right profession. He is so kind, caring, informative, No matter what problem you may bring to him. He's always happy always has a smile on his face. I couldn't ask for a better doctor.

Mostly a great doctor as far as capabilities. Ownership of mistakes Is lacking and sometimes dismissiveness over concerns seems apparent.

When he walked in the first sentence out of his mouth was "to be honest I don't know much about migraines". I came in because of chronic migraines and his voice was at a level 10 the whole time. Told me my CT was normal, which I knew and then proceeded to imply that maybe I'm stressed because of school. Overall, the medical student he had with him had better bed side manner than he did.

Would not listen to me I wasn't able to tell of my concern with my blood pressure. My chat was not noted correctly. I never mention a tick on me,was never concerned it was tick related. I didn't feel heard, I felt rushed. When I would talk I was cut off several times.
