About Dr. Kray

Dr. Kray’s dedication to his patients reflects a philosophy rooted in genuine partnership: he takes the time to thoroughly educate each patient about their condition and ensures they understand every available therapeutic option — always with the goal of minimizing the impact of both the disease and its treatment on their quality of life and daily lifestyle.

Outside of the office, Dr. Kray is a proud husband and father of four children, and a devoted grandfather of seven — a boisterous extended family that, as he notes with a smile, keeps him very busy. His decades of service — to his country in uniform and to his patients in the clinic — reflect a life defined by care, commitment, and a deep sense of duty.

Education & Training

Dr. Kenneth T. Kray brings a truly rare combination of credentials to his patients: he is a board-certified allergist-immunologist, a boardcertified pediatrician, and a registered pharmacist — a trifecta of expertise that gives him an exceptionally comprehensive understanding of allergic disease, its mechanisms, and its treatment.

He earned both his undergraduate degree and his Doctor of Medicine from the University of Illinois, graduating with academic Honors. His postgraduate training was conducted entirely within the U.S. Army medical system and at one of the nation’s foremost allergy research centers, equipping him with deep clinical and scientific expertise before a distinguished career spanning more than five decades.
