Dr Bailey and staff took such good care of me. I came to him with what felt like a crumbling mess of an ankle and he was able to repair and replace the joint and I’m now on the road to walking again. Thank you Dr Bailey and staff, Scott Davis

Dr. Bailey actually cares about his patients. He took the time to explain everything to me, and explained why I am still having pain after so long. He made sure that I got the correct ortho this time and not the knock-offs the insurance company had been giving me. He is a GREAT doctor and knows what he is doing!!!!!

Seeing Dr Bailey is always a delight and I know he will choose the correct procedure for me. He won’t do anything if his patient isn’t suited for or ready for something to be done. He is friendly, competent and kind.

Dr Bailey is the best. I have had TAR and a double arthrodesis. Both have been successful. Dr. Bailey is an excellent surgeon and explains everything that he is going to do.
