I have never had a Dr that was as rude and arrogant as Dr. Bailey. He was horrible! This man has no bed side manner.

I’m still traumatized from my experience being treated by Dr.Bailey. If I had a better support system at the time I would’ve sued him out of practice. I had a 1.3 cm Gallstone that was mobile and at time lodged in my bile duct. I was extremely ill high levels of bile in my blood, losing weight because I couldn’t eat. Dr.Bailey said it was only acid reflux, ordered an endoscope that put me in an even worse condition, and at one point seemed absolutely drunk in a appointment. After I had surgery and was treated by another doctor I found out my gallbladder was chronically inflamed and my other organs were affected as well. I feel sorry for anyone who goes to HMG who has a real life threatening medicinal condition.

I have been seeing Dr.Bailey for 13 yrs. I was misdiagnosed by another Dr and saw,him for a second opinion,and he took the time to go over everything with me and ran his own tests. Turns out I wasn't dying from a tumor after all. He talked to me, not at me and,he cares,very much about his patients. I have also seen Dr.King in his office and she's just like him,I love her too really Great! People!. Thanks,to all staff that makes coming there comfortable,and they are truly wonderful. Thanks,Everyone in that office for making what is usually one of the most unpleasant Dr visits(gastro) enjoyable.

I had an awful experience with Dr Bailey. I will never go back. I went to him for severe stomach pain. First he made jokes about my weight. Then he did an EGD and said that there was nothing wrong and that it was muscular instead of stomach related. Four months later I got a second opinion and they found that I have Barretts Esophagus, a hiatal hernia, reactive gastritis and abnormal mucus in my stomach.
