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!!

Dr. Bailey is a Good, Caring Doctor

Monica C. - Phoenix ENT Patient

Dr. Bailey is a good, caring doctor and would refer him to my friends and family. Thanks for checking out my review!!

Dr. Bailey Made My Quality of Life So Much Better

Dr. Bailey has been my ENT for at least 8 years for three different issues.

He has performed surgery, prescribed my CPAP and treated my sinus and throat issues. All of which have made my quality of life so much better. His office is very tasteful and the staff is super friendly.

Most important is that I feel he genuinely cares about my well being.

Professional, Calm and Welcoming

Dr. Bailey never gave me the impression that my appointment time was limited. He was thorough in explaining his diagnosis and did not push me into making decisions on the spot, but rather gave me time to evaluate my options. He and his staff were professional, calm and welcoming.

Help With Ongoing Ear Problems

I was totally delighted to have an amazing doctor help me with ongoing ear problems. Dr Bailey’s nurse was very comforting to me and both the doctor and nurse most compassionate and explained to me exactly what to expect from the diagnosis. Indeed I could not expect a better physician in this field. Thank you to all for you help and ongoing assistance.
