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. Bailes’ expertise and skill is exactly what one needs when dealing with the serious nature of neurosurgery. His confident and reassuring approach with my health concern puts me at ease. He performed brain surgery on me 4 years ago, I just knew I was in the right hands, and me walking and talking after it, is all the proof one needs. Kate his nurse, is the most timely to respond to email or phone concerns. Overall enuine quality & exemplary care team from start to finish.

Dr. Bailes got me in for what turned out to be a 6 1/2 hour operation within 24 hours of seeing him and saved my life. My brain tumor was so big that it would have exploded my brain within a few wells and I would have passed on. His staff takes great care in his patients and in him. ????
