Exceptional listener, practitioner and diagnostician. Been seeing him for 10 years + and wouldn't consider going elsewhere. Dr. Bailen is at the very top of his game professionally and a nice guy to boot. Highly recommend to anyone.

DR Bailen is very kind and compassionate,good doctor ,however his office staff especially dealing with them on the phone are rude and abrupt and personally i feel should not be dealing with people in distress if they can't convey a shred of compassion or caring.

Have had him since his days at NEMC. He has guided me well as to the severity of my disease and when it is time to move on to the next step. With his advice I was able to prolong a surgey for 3-4 years rather than have the surgery prior to it becoming necessary.Good person as well as very professional
