Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Dr. Bailey, Has actually listened to me, I have concerns and I fill that they will all get the attention that is needed. Very thorough. Listening and actually hearing me is a big deal with me. I want to do better with health, I will do my part just need a little guidance. I also learned how to make great chicken soup. Thank you, Dr. Bailey

I have. Ever been disappointed with Dr Bailey. He is the best doctor I have had in years. I was so disappointed with Doctors at SANSUM Clinic. They take Medicare so Inuse specialists there but when I’m sick I get in to see Dr Bailey and don’t have to wait forever to get in!

I have been a patient of Dr Bruce Bailey for over 5 years and would gladly recommend him to anyone looking for a caring, educated and is a very responsive doctor. My time is very valuable to me and it is great to go see a doctor at a scheduled time and rarely am I waiting more than 5 or 10 minutes to see him at that scheduled time.

I thought he was great until I needed him the most. He made a bad situation worse on more than one occasion. I would never put my life in his hands.

Dr. Bruce Bailey is a gem of an internist! The individual care he provides is rarely seen in a non-concierge-type practices. Dr. Bailey has been my internist for about 10 years now. After my insurance changed, and he was no longer a provider under my new plan , I chose to continue to use Dr. Bailey as my doctor. I strongly feel that personal focus and superb quality of care he provides is more than worth the extra cost to me.

I would have to say Dr. Bailey is one of the best doctors I have ever seen. He is very attentive to your needs and is truly concerned with your health issues. He is very thorough and really tries to find your diagnosis and takes the time necessary to evaluate your needs. He is also a very compassionate doctor that listens to you. I would highly recommend him.

I have found Dr. Bailey to be caring, considerate and compassionate in his care for my husband and myself. He is very knowledgeable and takes his time with you. He does not rush you through your appointments, and the wait time is minimal. I am forever grateful that I found him and that he accepted my husband and I as patients. I drive an hour each way for my appointments and it is absolutely worth it!
