Ray Stanford, DO, specializes in physical medicine and rehabilitation for children. As a parent himself, Dr. Stanford expects a high level of care from his children's medical providers. "I know my patients and their families expect the same from me. So it pushes me to provide the best care possible," he says.

Dr. Stanford saw that a medical career combined two of his passions: a fascination with the human body and a desire to help ill and injured people. He values the high standards of Phoenix Children's and its essential role in providing care to Arizona children and families. Dr. Stanford also appreciates being close to family in Arizona.

When he's not working, Dr. Stanford loves spending time with his children and traveling. He also enjoys being outdoors, hiking and running.
