Dr. Bray said, “In hospitals, you are part of a big piece of the puzzle and you don’t always have control to run it right. I felt I needed more control of the spine program to focus on the things I wanted to focus on.”

The Red Bulletin nicknamed Dr. Bray “Dr. Fix-It” due to his dedication to treating elite athletes. A neurological spine surgeon, he has performed more than 10,000 procedures with 95 percent of his clinical focus being on outpatient surgery.

Dr. Bray holds a variety of patents on spinal implants and surgical instruments. He served a combined 20 years of active and reserve duty service with the U.S. Air Force.
