Yes, I absolutely love Dr. Ray. She knows my medical history. She takes into account all of my concerns. She explains everything slowly, and in terms that I can understand, and I just absolutely love the treatment that I'm getting from Dr. Ray. So, thank you.

This provider has an awful approach in dealings with her patients. She caused my anxiety to be even higher regarding my pregnancy. After speaking with MFM clinic today, it seems that this is common practice for Dr.Griffith. This was by far the worst experience I've had with a psychiatrist and I have canceled my future appointments with her.

Please note the two ladies on the first floor screening for people for Covid (closest to PRI) were so rude to everyone I saw them interact with. I was appalled at how they spoke to people and treated them. I screened in on [Date] around [Time]. Hopefully that will narrow it down to who was working that desk. Dr. Ray is absolutely the best. She knows her patients very well. She is easy to talk with and she cares. I love how you can message her and she responds so quickly. She seems very efficient, as well. I never have to wait on her. That is a HUGE plus for me! I appreciate everything she has done for me.

Some receptionists are not always friendly and do not always have the necessary information to provide you as a patient.
