Dr. Ron Ray is a native of Northern Virginia. He received his B.S. in Biology from George Mason University in 1987 and graduated from the Medical College of Virginia School of Dentistry in 1991. After graduation, he spent 3 years in the U.S. Army, the first year of which was in an Advanced Education in General Dentistry training program. After returning home, he worked 2 years in Countryside before opening his Ashburn office in early 1997. Due to the support of the current patient base, he was able to expand into the Leesburg area in the Fall of 2001.

Dr. Ray understands the importance of staying current with the latest advances in Dentistry and has studied both locally and abroad to maintain and improve his skills and knowledge of Dentistry. As important as knowing the techniques, is knowing the patient. Dr. Ray and all the doctors believe the patient needs information before a treatment decision can be reached. Recommendations are made by the doctors; but, decisions are made by the patients.

Dr. Ray and Susie have lived in Loudoun County since 1997 and remain active in the Ashburn Community. They enjoy a wide variety of activities from outdoor events to a good movie at home.
