Q&A with Dr. Bray
What is your favorite animated movie or cartoon?
Powerpuff girls; my favorite character is Bubbles because she is the definition of rainbows and sunshine!
What was your favorite childhood toy?
Barbie dolls
What are your hobbies and interests outside of work?
Going to the beach, Spending time with family and friends, Exploring different cuisines and listening to classical music.
What inspired you to work in pediatrics?
My godmother who is also a pediatrician inspired me to become one. I want to help children lead productive and happy lives. The pure joy of seeing a child playing when they were so very sick a few days prior, continues to have such an impact on me.
What unique qualities, skills, or services set you apart, and how do you build a positive rapport with patients and their families?
I enjoy neonatology and preventive care. I believe that respecting and recognizing cultural differences/personal beliefs helps in providing patient-centered care that is respectful of each patient's unique background.

It’s a huge relief knowing my kids are being taken care of by such a dedicated and professional staff.
We have been patients at Pediatric Associates Saxon since 2021, and I cannot recommend them highly enough. From the moment we started coming here, the level of care has been amazing. The entire team is wonderful, but the doctors and nurses especially deserve recognition. They are incredibly skilled, patient, and truly care about the health and well-being of my children. It’s a huge relief knowing my kids are being taken care of by such a dedicated and professional staff. Thank you for your continued excellent service!"

the amazing treatment as well as patience tbus office has with him is wonderful.
First time visiting since Dr. T retired, I went elsewhere and decided to come back. My son gets nervous and the amazing treatment as well as patience tbus office has with him is wonderful. Sandra especially, he LOVES her. She has a a sys gone out of her way to make sure hes ok and talks to me to just about anything. So family focused here. I dont know why I left. It isn't the same but the staff that is still there im glad is the same. Thanks always Sandra!

Ms Sandra has been nothing but professional and one of the upmost caring person.
Hello my experience has always been positive. Ms Sandra has been nothing but professional and one of the upmost caring person that I have encountered. Her time in this pediatric practice is not a job but a career and she has always taken it seriously from my experience whatever they pay her should be tripled. Samantha perhaps you should first ask permission prior to allowing your child to touch or take anything that does not belong to him ( let’s respect other’s property it is irrelevant the price) daycare is a good idea, perhaps Samatha you may consider being open to new ideas. Perhaps stop putting in bad reviews which may be your thing and listen, you may learn and maybe even see that it is not everyone else fault. Consider therapy. Thank you Pediatric Association especially Ms. Sandra.

Thanks for all the effort you all put in!
Ladies in the reception area are always professional and great at helping out. Dr. Bray is very easy to talk with and the kids like her. Which is always a good thing. Also I cannot leave Sandra out she's absolutely phenomenal with the kids and is very knowledgeable with what she does and we appreciate it so much. Thanks for all the effort you all put in! 🙏🏼🤗💙 Side note: to the owners who own pediatric Associates please would you highly consider letting families reaching out directly to the office/offices in which our children are seen. This alone will give you as a corporate company to get more 5 star ⭐ reviews. Thanks

what to look out for in the next few days and how to treat the issue.
I had reached out to the Saxon office to see if I could get an emergency appointment the same day to have my 7 year old feet checked as she was in excruciating pain. The office was nice enough to get me in and I was able to see Dr Bray. She reassured me my child would be okay and what to look out for in the next few days and how to treat the issue. Thanks to Saxon office and their wonderful staff for taking care of our little ones.

I immediately felt I made the right choice in pediatricians when she came into the room and introduced herself.
Front desk staff was incredibly polite and welcoming. Meeting Dr. Bray for the first newborn appointment exceeded all expectations. She is one of the most personable, kind doctors around. Her positive energy would ease any new parents’ concerns. I immediately felt I made the right choice in pediatricians when she came into the room and introduced herself.
