Christopher S. Ray, MD
After completing medical school and residency in Houston, TX Dr Ray moved to Phoenix, AZ to join a private practice anesthesia group. Within two years he became the president of Desert Canyon Medical Associates and led a 10-physician group that worked at two hospitals and one surgery center. He remained with this company for five years before deciding to make the boldest move of my career. He resigned from the practice and started Ambulatory Medical Associates (AMA), a mobile-based anesthesia company, which performs all types of anesthesia cases that are done outside of the hospital. With the success of AMA we opened up AMA-CO, another office-based practice, that was based out of Denver, CO. Due to our movement and transport of large amounts of controlled substances we became the 1st anesthesia company in the US that was a dual DEA distribution company and wholesale pharmacy as well. With the success of these two businesses, he began the biggest project of his life, creating an Electronic Medical Record (EMR) for anesthesiologist. The application allows for doctors to care for patients faster with the use of an iPad or any web enabled device. The project took three years to complete and was released on the open market. Dr Ray then went back into medicine and began where he continued to practice anesthesia but added mental health, addiction, and later pain management services to his patients. He started the largest Ketamine clinic in AZ that later expanded to CA.
