ENT Doctor Ratings & Reviews: What Our Patients Have To Say About My Care

I Could Not Have Been More Pleased with Dr. Bailey

This review is for ENT care services I received over a year ago.

I had a very severe ear infection that spread to the bone, and was referred to see Dr. Bailey. My General Practitioner called on my behalf, and they got me in for an appointment that same day. It was very complicated, and I was in his care for a few months.

I could not have been more pleased with Dr. Bailey. He was so kind and genuinely worried about my overall health and care. He went above and beyond what any other doctor ever has to ensure I was treated properly. I saw him numerous times, and he was honest, straight forward and treated me like I was a member of his family.

His office was beautiful, and his staff was always kind and his appointment times were reasonable.

I would recommend Dr. Bailey for anyone. I’m lucky that I was referred into his office and I owe him my ability to still hear! Thank you!!

Awesome Practice!!!

I can finally breathe again! Dr. Bailey did a great job. Highly recommended!

I recently had sinus surgery (Jan 2014) with Dr. Bailey to fix a deviated septum, remove polyps, and to address chronic fungal sinus infection. The post op results are fantastic. Recovery time was approx 7 days. I can finally breathe again! Dr. Bailey did a great job. Highly recommended!

Dr. Bailey is very knowledgeable.

Dr. Bailey is very knowledgeable. He explains things in terms that make sense to the patient. He listens and does not rush you out. Dr. Bailey uses his best judgement and does not do anything unnecessary when working on a procedure for his patients. I recommend Dr. Bailey, to anyone searching for a great professional doctor.
