Julia Ray, MD

"Dr. Ray is a board-certified pediatrician who has been caring for Chicago children of all ages since 2008. She has a special interest in allergy and asthma as well as in newborn care. She is thrilled to be working at a practice where she can see newborns in the comfort of their homes and take the time necessary to offer anticipatory guidance to parents. She is passionate about guiding families in healthy living habits as these newborns grow into older children. She believes that good nutrition, sleep, exercise, and mindfulness are key components to good health and that these healthy habits are essential to teach children from a young age in order to promote life-long wellness. She received her B.A. from St. Louis University in 2001 and her M.D. from the St. Louis University School of Medicine in 2005. She completed her pediatric residency at Children’s Memorial Hospital (now Lurie Children’s Hospital) in 2008 where she continues to hold a faculty appointment. She is also a Health System Clinician of Pediatrics (Community Based Primary Care) at Northwestern Feinberg School of Medicine and has privileges at Prentice Women’s Hospital."

"Donohoe Pediatrics is a concierge-style, membership-based, direct primary care (DPC) practice. That means we work for you. Not for insurance companies or employers or big hospital systems. Just you. This is a fundamental difference from what has become the norm in primary care medicine. By removing the administrative burden and the red tape that comes along with 3rd party payers, we make access to your doctor and the entire experience of care amazingly simple. Here is how it works: Patients join the practice by paying a one-time family registration charge of $250 followed by a monthly, per-child membership fee. The monthly fee varies by the age of the child. It is a simple, old fashioned idea. Combine expertise, intimacy and dedication to deliver care so personal you can’t believe your children were ever cared for another way. That is the Donohoe Pediatrics way…to take time with families, to understand their stress and fear, to hold their hands, laugh a little and walk together through all the challenges that come with raising children. We all deserve this, but it has become a rare reality in modern pediatric medicine. Our practice is devoted to these principles and we deliver it in a simple, clear package. Join us!!!"
