I have seen Dr. Bayliss for 20+ yrs. I never have a problem seeing him when I needed a appt. He runs on time most of the time and is very patient and doesn't rush thru the appt. He is a caring doctor who if he can't help you will refer you to another doctor. I recommend him highly.

This was my first visit with Dr. Bayliss and I found him to be a good listener, seemed genuinely interested in understanding my issues, then offered a great deal of information and suggestions based on the most recent medical research. Very informative, in addition to feeling like I had a thorough checkup. Thankfully I don't need to go back, but wouldn't hesitate if I did need further medical attention.

I do not care for the business end of things at his Lewis-Gale clinic, nor for the staff, but find Dr. Bayliss to be an extraordinary physician.
