About the Doctor

Robert G. Ray, D.M.D.

I grew up in New Jersey. I went to Rutgers College and received a BS degree. I went to Tufts Dental School and received a DMD degree. While at Tufts I completed an externship at New England Medical Center in pediatric dentistry. Then I went to Howard Postgraduate Dental School and received a Certificate in Orthodontics.

I opened up my first orthodontic dental practice on Capitol Hill in Washington DC. Several years later I purchased my second practice in Towson, Maryland. Later, I opened up my third practice in Laurel, Maryland.

While in practice I have been involved in several community organizations. These include the Stanton Park Neighborhood Association, the Capitol Hill Kiwanis, and the Whitman Walker Clinic. For a while I served as Chairman of the Board of the Whitman Walker Clinic. Locally in dentistry I have served on the Board of Directors of the DC Dental Society. I served as Chairman of the Robert T. Freeman Dental Society. I was appointed by the mayor to be Chairman of the DC Board of Dentistry.

Nationally, I served as a Commissioner on the Commission on Dental Accreditation. Also, I served on the Board of Directors of the American Board of Dental Examiners and on the Board of Directors of the North East Regional Board of Dental Examiners.

Presently, I am still practicing orthodontics in DC and Maryland, and I am a Dental School and Dental Hygiene School Board Examiner.
