Thank you Dr. Pray for being there when health issues arise. Used a virtual visit to address my needs. He was attentive, asked pertinent questions after my descriptions and recommended medications that have proven to be right on target as I feel much better. Quality PCP for me.

Dr. Pray was confident, amenable, and treated me as an equal in my care. I was not talked down to. He listened to everything I had to say and I was not rushed.

I recently had my first visit with Dr. Pray. So that I didn't waste a visit just getting orders for lab work I sent a message to Dr. Pray asking him to order the labs ahead of my first visit. He did so. I arrived 5 minutes before my appointment and brought a book with me. Before I had time to crack the book open I was back with the nurse, who was very friendly, doing the preliminaries. She left me in the patient room, and again before I could turn the cover on the book, Dr. Pray entered. The first thing he did was ask me why I came to see him. He listened carefully, and his response let me know he not only was already aware of my lab results, but he had well familiarized himself with my medical history. I found Dr. Pray to be polite, competent, engaging and humble. I would highly recommend him.

Went for my annual check up and prescriptions update. Dr Pray was punctual and thorough. Very good ‘bedside manner’ as he was personable while getting the necessary information to complete the exam. Highly recommend.
