Dr. Dailey is no nonsense and doesn't sugar coat things but he does tell the truth, even when I don't want to hear it. He always answers my questions thoroughly even when he is obviously very busy. I appreciate having him serving our community.

Dr. Dailey is a wonderful doctor. I have been his patient for 26 years. He saved my eyesight many years ago. He continues now to treat some recent problems I am having. Always very kind and understanding.

Very rude and curt to me and my husband. Would not answer questions, was told NOT to interrupt him and would not ever recommend him. Absolutely arrogant and "God complex" doctor. Never have I been treated so badly by a professional. He didn't like me and I didn't like him!!

A simple question was met by an unnecessarily curt and upsetting response. I have never had a need for the doctor to follow up with me although I have called in and had the staff answer questions for me, which they did in a timely and courteous manner. promptness is OK if you have an early appointment.

I was a nervous wreck when I was told I had to see a specialist for my eyes but the second I arrived at their office I felt better. The staff was very friendly and reassured me that I was in good hands. As soon as I met Dr. Dailey I knew that they were right. Not only did he genuinely care about me but he took the time to explain everything about my condition and made sure that I was okay. He even had his staff follow up with me after my procedure to make sure I was doing alright. I am not nervous at all about my next visit and look forward to thanking him for being so attentive and caring.
