Gray Brian C MD

My primary reason for a low rating is not Dr Gray himself but the team around him. I had a difficult start to my pregnancy & on serval occassions I had a bleed & needed advice or was awaiting tests results & no one gets back to you. I waited 2.5 days to be told if the pregnancy was likely to continue despite phoning on multiple occassions over several days. I have just had to phone 3 times over 2 days for my second trimester developmental screening test results as they are now 2 weeks late. The office staff can rarely give you advice so they usually need to msg the doctor. Their lack of knowledge makes it difficult to get seen when there is a worry or compilation because they only know the script/​routine appointments.
Dr Gray is always late by at least 20 mins but you are never told that when you arrive even though you could be off giving blood next door in that time. They have the annoying habit of calling you in on time, weigh you & do the intial blood pressure etc then leave you in the doctors room for ages.
I feel like you have to be proactive about tests which you are due & make sure things are being done. They scheduled my 20 week scan weeks early which only got changed when I pursued it.
Dr Gray himself is very kind & gentle. He is very relaxed & I believe he is very competent at his job.
St Jude’s have an online results programme which you can sign in & see your test results but they don’t get updated promptly.

Although i work for St Jude, i was told great reviews on Dr Gray from co workers. He is absolutly amazing and his staff is so sweet. Dr Gray takes his time and loves to answer questions you have for him. As scared as i am for giving birth i think with a dr like him i will be able to relax a little and know that me and baby are in good hands.

I do t remember how the staff is here but dr Gray himself was always very nice to me and more importantly found a blood clotting problem I had that no other drs had found. He is one of the reasons I have my son now after 6 years of trying and several miscarriages.

I had such a bad experience with the staff that I decided to change doctors. As previously mentioned, bad manners is an issue. But, I can deal with bad manners if skill and professionalism is present. Important tests were overlooked. In addition important attention to detail was missed. The doctor also liked to chat and could be described as having a good bedside manner but he didn’t have patience for questions and was obviously not into a new mothers curiosity. I have very little faith that the unexpected complications I experienced in my pregnancy would have been handled adequately by this doctor. I hate to write a bad review for such an important service but that is how disappointed I was with the care I was given. I would shop around for an OB and if you don’t feel good about your OB, find a new one like I did. I eventually went to another doctor and she was amazing. Everyone should put their health in the amazing hands of a great doctor for such an important life event.

Dr. Gray has been my OB/​Gyn for the past 7 years. He delivered both of my daughters and I still see him for my annual exams. I would definitely recommend Dr. Gray and St. Jude for their professionalism and for them just making everything run so smoothly at stressful times. All of my appointments were scheduled in advance and I had no problems what so ever.

I’m on my second pregnancy now (5 months along) & still happy with Dr. Gray! My labor & delivery experience at Saint Jude Hospital was great with my 1^st baby — Dr. Gray even stopped by to visit us and hold our son. I had no doubts I wanted Dr. Gray to care for me the 2^nd time around. His bedside manner is awesome, he is very down to earth and relaxed.
My only complaint is about the scheduling system. With my last pregnancy I was able to make all my appointments for my whole pregnancy. This was perfect because I had a better chance of getting the day & time I wanted, plus I almost always was able to get the 1^st appointment of the day which ensured I was in & out very quickly. Now they only allow you to book appointments a few months out — for example it’s September now & they won’t allow me to book an appointment for November because that month is not «open» yet. This new system has made it really hard to get appointments on the day & time that I prefer, and it has also made it impossible to get my ultrasounds on the same day as my OB visit, which means double visits. I have resorted to calling every few weeks to try and get my appointments scheduled as far out as possible. The appointment line is always very busy and it sometimes takes more than 15 minutes of hold time before I speak with anyone. I definitely miss the old system!
Also, so far Dr. Gray & Saint Jude Hospital seem to be VBAC friendly. I will update again after my delivery!

Dr. Gray is wonderful. He – as many others have mentioned – has great bedside manners, will answer every question thoroughly, and listen to his patients’ concerns. When I first went for my annual checkup, I was pleasantly surprised at how quick and efficient he was when it came to the actual… er…exam. Most women grow to dread this appointment, but Dr. Gray is able to make it quick and relatively painless. I also saw him for both of my pregnancies, and as usual, he was very reassuring and calm. Just an FYI: because St. Jude is a Catholic establishment, they do not do «long-​term contraceptives (like an IUD). Dr. Gray had to refer me to another OB-​GYN for that.
Since he is so thorough with all of his patients, I think this may be why appointments tend to run behind, hence the protracted waiting times. Some days are better than others (the longest have been about 30 minutes just to be called by a nurse). His staff is usually friendly, but I have interacted with some nurses who were somewhat grumpy and short. Things are usually pretty good here, so I don’t plan on going anywhere else.

My wife and I had a wonderful experience with Dr. Gray. We had a rough experience finding him though.
We went to this group and didn’t know where to start, so they assigned us to Dr. Jacqueline Cortez. We had a horrible experience with her. My wife went in without me for her first appointment (for her first pregnancy) while I was at work. The first thing the receptionist said was, «Are you here for your own pregnancy?» My wife said, «Yes.» The receptionist said, «Wow. You’re pretty young to be pregnant.» My wife is 25. Not too young at all. Then she followed it up with, «Well, is there a father in the figure?» asking in a derogatory tone. Are you kidding me? Who would ask such a thing?! She said, «Of course! We’ve been married for two years!» She saw the doctor and her visit with her wasn’t much better. Two appointments later, she got the same treatment each time so we switched to Dr. Gray.
He was so warm and helped us get through it. He sat in the room and took 25 minutes just to console us and answer all the questions we had. What amazing bedside manner! He came in on his day off to do a surgery for us. He was extremely friendly and concerned for both of us.
His black nurse (and the rest of the staff) is horribly rude though and led us to never returning. He’s a great doctor but not worth the harassment it takes going through to see him.

Doctor Gray is great, but his office staff need to go to Ms. Manners school & do time management training. I got tired of the constant mess going on there every time I went. Argh! Still looking for a good OB. :(

This review is strictly for Dr. Gray’s staff, as I never actually made it in to see the Doctor.
I’m not sure how other women feel but I dread, and I mean DREAD, annual exams. I hadn’t had an exam in a few years and Dr. Gray came highly recommended. I decided stop procrastinating and make an appointment. When I called to make my appointment, the girl that helped me was really friendly. I felt like I was off to a good start…
When I showed up to my appointment (15 minutes early so I could fill out paperwork) I was disappointed that the sour girl at the front desk wasn’t the same friendly girl that I made my appointment with. Regardless, I filled out my paperwork and proceeded to wait… and wait… and wait… and wait… and wait.
30 minutes pass and I’m still waiting. I was patient until I realized that every single person (and there were several) came in after me was called in… literally, every person. As I was contemplating asking if they had forgotten about me, I heard the nurse mention my name and say that she had already called me. The sourpuss at the front desk told her I was still waiting in the waiting room. They both started chuckling and made a joke about it being «Monday». I was annoyed but thought for sure that I was going to get called any minute.
15 more minutes pass and the lady that came in a half an hour after me gets called in. I finally walked up and asked if I could reschedule only to be told (in a less than friendly tone) that I would have to wait because she was filling out insurance forms for the girl that had just walked in. I turned around and walked out.
The entire experience was disappointing. I was also put-​off by the nurse when a little girl spilled water as her mom was being led to the back. The nurse rudely tapped the «No food or drink» sign and told the mom «that’s why we have this sign». I get it, she should not have been letting her daughter drink but the poor women had three kids in tow. The nurse could have been a little nicer about it. I’m sure doctor gray is great but his staff leaves something to be desired. I was not amused that I took time off work to see the doctor and had to pay $ 2.00 to park, only to leave without seeing the doctor.
