"At Cancer Treatment Centers of America, we listen to patients and deal with their needs and issues. Addressing patients’ psychological and emotional needs, in addition to treating cancer, is the way I have always practiced medicine. Here I am able to work with a group of clinicians who are committed to the same goal of delivering that kind of care. It’s tremendously gratifying."
Dr. Stephen P. Ray
Medical Director of Oncoplastic & Reconstructive Surgery
Board certified in both plastic/reconstructive surgery and acupuncture, Dr. Stephen Ray is experienced in oncology surgery of the breast, skin and soft tissues, including head and neck surgery. He has played a key role in developing the breast surgery team at Cancer Treatment Centers of America (CTCA) at Midwestern Regional Medical Center, where he focuses on all aspects of breast oncology and reconstructive surgery.
Prior to joining CTCA, Dr. Ray ran private practices in both acupuncture and plastic and reconstructive surgery. He holds a bachelor’s degree from University of California at Berkeley and a medical degree from the University of Rochester School of Medicine and Dentistry, where he also completed a residency and taught. Dr. Ray is one of the first leaders in medicine to bring reconstructive breast surgery to Rochester, New York.
The well-regarded reconstructive surgeon has given numerous seminars on holistic care for surgical patients. He has also taught communication skills to residents and medical students.

He is excited about the options that are available to CTCA patients in plastic and reconstructive surgery and medical acupuncture. These options can improve quality of life for people living with cancer.
