About William J. Ray, MD, FACP

In today’s often overwhelming healthcare system, patients may experience a rushed, cookie-cutter approach to medicine. In my personalized internal medicine practice, we believe in caring for our patients as unique, whole persons with unique needs and challenges. We aim to work together to find a road to help them as they work to meet their personal health goals.

Being affiliated with MDVIP helps me to incorporate a more comprehensive approach that includes discussions about nutrition, exercise, supplements when appropriate and constructive social interaction – all in an effort to support patients as they work toward improved health.

My MDVIP-affiliated practice offers an annual Wellness Program, comprised of preventive services, including advanced health screenings and diagnostic tests, that go far beyond those found in concierge medicine practices. The test results can give us a deeper picture of your health and may help identify certain risk markers. 

I love having more time to spend really getting to know my patients and their families, as well as the ability to  offer conveniences, such as same- or next-day visits with minimal waiting, and appointments that aren’t rushed. My staff and I look forward to helping you as you pursue a healthier life.

Doctor Ray has been my doctor and my wife’s doctor since 1999. One day in his office when I was seeing him and a question came up in my mind to ask him. So I asked him the question and he said Sammy I don’t really know the answer to that but I will Google it so he Googled it and got me the answer. I don’t remember the question or the answer but that made Doctor Ray be a real person to me anytime…

I am a patient in Dr. W. Ray's MDVIP practice since its inception and previously also. His constant availability has been a true blessing. I'll never forget the night I had an asthma attack and was able to avoid a trip to the ED due to being able to contact Dr. Ray immediately. He is always willing to listen to concerns and address them competently. Since I am a retired ED nurse, I realize I…

How many calendars and monthly pages . . . has it been? Surprising I had to count and find that Dr. Ray has been my “primary physician” for over 3 decades.
I can thank an attentive GYN who had been seeing me for many years announced I needed to see my primary physician. I asked why and he said, “Your blood pressure has been elevated the past few visits and your explanation is always, “I…

Excellent diagnostician, personable, explains thoroughly and answers all questions. MDVIP is worth its weight in gold and is so worthwhile when a serious health issue occurs. Couldn't be happier with this practice and staff.

I have found Dr. Ray to be attentive to my health needs, as well as my husband. When my husband was experiencing a health crisis, Dr. Ray included counseling to me and our children, which was very comforting.
He takes time to listen and follow through with medical concerns.
I would feel free to call him anytime to ask for his medical help.

For a Doctor to provide workshops for healthy eating is a new experience for me. How we eat and exercise is part of his guidance in maintaining our health.
I feel fortunate to be able to sustain this caliber of health care in my advanced age.

My husband recently had a serious medical problem. Dr. Ray was most kind to us. He didn't mind my calling at night...in fact he asked me to call. He showed his concern and managed our problem perfectly.

Dr. Ray is extremely patient and very attentive to your concerns. Great bed side manners. He takes as much time as needed to explain the situation that is impacting you and he informs you of what to expect moving forward.

Frequently Asked Questions

Doctors who operate in the MDVIP models typically see far fewer patients than traditional primary care doctors. That gives them more time to develop deeper doctor-patient relationships that can lead to better outcomes. They can also offer conveniences that most primary care doctors can’t, including same- and next-day appointments. They’re available after hours for urgent matters. And they have time to focus on prevention. That focus begins with the MDVIP Wellness Program, which patients pay for with their annual membership fee.

Most MDVIP-affiliated primary care practices accept insurance (your physician can tell you whether they accept your specific insurance plan). Your annual fee pays for preventive care medical services that insurance usually doesn’t cover (e.g., advanced diagnostic testing and screenings). Your MDVIP-affiliated physician will continue to bill your insurance and charge copays, co-insurances and deductibles as he or she currently does for other medical services like sick visits.

MDVIP makes wellness and prevention easier by providing your physician with innovative tools and technology. MDVIP supports your physician’s practice and seeks to eliminate barriers to a positive healthcare experience. Your doctor will determine whether and how to incorporate these tools at his/her discretion.
