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

Dr Bailey Truly Is a People Person

Dr. Bailey took about 20 mins with me because I had a lot of questions. He was very nice and funny – I like that. Instead of just offering surgery right away, Dr. Bailey suggested some additional testing. Thank you for treating my sinus infection.

Dr. Bailey is an exceptional doctor in his field of expertise.

I initially went to Dr. Bailey for hearing issues, during my ENT appointment he also noticed some issues with my nasal cavities as well. He recommended septum surgery to correct my breathing issues.

It has been a year to date since the surgery and I haven’t had a single sinus infection since.

I used to get them several time a year and now I can breathe so clearly now. I sleep much better. I can’t thank him enough for changing my life for the better. Dr. Bailey’s ENT practice has knowledgeable, polite staff – I recommend their ENT medical care to anyone.

Caring and Competence

I was brought to Dr. Bailey on an emergency basis and found the level of caring and competence to be superior. The office and support staff were very professional and full of genuine concern. Carrie, Dr. Bailey’s assistant, was very hands-on, telling us of any delay and keeping us informed on all details of my case.

The Dr. took me the same day that I called for an appointment and was very professional and calming. The office went out of their way to set up the surgery quickly and were able to get biopsy reports much quicker than usual.

Thankfully, all was well, and our gratefulness to Dr. Bailey, Carrie, and their staff is boundless. These are wonderful, caring, and competent professionals and you are in very good hands.

Dr. Bailey Was Wonderful and Friendly With Our Son

Dr. Bailey was extremely knowledgable. He was wonderfully friendly with our son who was nervous to meet him. Kind, gentle, and caring. Nothing else you could ask from a Doc!

Great Staff. Great Doctor.

Great staff. Great Doctor — Had tonsils removed. Could not have asked for a better experience.
