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.

I have been a patient of Dr Bailey for many years. Actually worked with her for 24 years until my retirement. I know of many difficult diagnoses she has made to enhance the health of patients and some have actually saved lives. She has monitored my health in a very conscientious and caring manner. Her staff is a compliment to her professionalism always helpful and pleasant. Have recommended this office to family and friends.

Dr. Bailey is a caring and compassionate physician. She is well educated in women's health care. I have been a patient in her practices for 20 plus years. My Daughter is in Dr. Bailey's practice as well.

Dr Bailey is very kind, caring and professional. Her focus is on the patient, unlike other health care professionals don't even look at the patient for the majority of the visit, but are concentrating on typing away in their computer. Dr Bailey has always spent sufficient time and has genuine compassion and concern. Amazingly, she caught and diagnosed my husband's heart issue last year. The heart specialists were impressed that she caught it first with a simple STETHOSCOPE. She is the best!

I have been seeing Dr. Bailey for over 25 years. I have stayed with her even when she opened her own practice. I now need to travel further but she is worth the time. She is concerned about YOU, and will do all within her knowledge to make sure you are aware of all of your health issues. She does not preach, but educates with patience and information. I would recommend her to many friends and they have all thanked me. If you are looking for a doctor that cares about YOU, see her!

1st visit she rushed me to visit to a cardiologist for an EKG with an "abnormal" reading. Cardiologist said the application of pads gave the abnormal reading and was satisfied enough to know I was healthy by looking at the abnormal reading he didn't make me take the stress-test she ordered. Come on....a family doctor who practices healthcare and cosmetic skin care? She's a control-freak (prescriptions) vanity doctor lining her pockets with money. Zero stars rating.

When unable to diagnose a complex medical condition, Dr. Bailey instead throws random medication at it (Ritalin, anyone?) and treats the patient like they are suddenly impaired. Who abruptly starts talking much more slowly halfway through an appointment? A doctor who is being incredibly condescending to an adult patient, that's who. My experience with Dr. Bailey was less than stellar. Nice the first couple of visits then quickly deteriorated into the above.

I saw Dr Bailey for years and she never helped me. I begged her, with tears in my eyes to help me figure out why I was gaining so much weight so quickly. She told me I was "bloated". I had an andrenal tumor (diagnosed by another doctor). She was very demeaning to my husband when he came along to a visit as well. She is mostly interested in her skin care practice, not focused on patients.

She is the very best doctor I've ever had! She is sweet, personable, kind, compassionate, caring and very intelligent. She spends a lot of time with her patients and is always there with a joyful heart. You won't find someone better than Dr. Bailey. She is a great listener, caring provider and I trust her wholly. She has been nothing less than stellar in every aspect. I and the rest of my family are very thankful for her. You won't be disappointed, she is so wonderful!
