In the thick of the most recent winter storm, I was in a panic worried about my beardie as we were going into day 5 of no power. I called around to find a reptile vet that would offer me some advice on what I could do to ensure he would make it until our power was back on. I reached out and left a message for Dr. Ray, and within a couple hours, she returned my call. She offered me some pointers, eased my worries and was genuinely so nice. I will now make sure she is my vet of choice the next time my beardie or budgie needs vet care. Thanks so much, Dr. Ray
Meet our bird, Chico. He has bornavirus and PDD, and let me just tell you—he’s a handful, but we love him to pieces. Chico is silly, goofy, smart, and just an overall handsome little character. Unfortunately, the past few months have been tough with his bornavirus symptoms and PDD flare-ups, but Dr. Ray has been nothing short of incredible in helping him through it.
Whether it’s a routine check-up or a last-minute emergency visit late at night, Dr. Ray has always been there for Chico. Time and time again, she’s gone above and beyond to make sure our boy is taken care of, and we are endlessly thankful for her expertise, compassion, and dedication. On top...read full review
Our bearded dragon Scales has been a patient of Dr. Ray’s since he was a baby, and he is THRIVING. Dr. Ray has a patient, gentle, and kind bedside (kennel-side?) manner. She has consistently helped us manage Scale’s health, and subsequently avoid the health issues commonly seen in bearded dragons.
He is a beautiful healthy beardie, and we are grateful to Dr. Ray and everyone at Avian & Exotics Center of Nashville!!
