Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Excellent and Personable
Dr. Bailey welcomed me when I arrived in the sub waiting area. I’ve never experienced that with any physician and it made a big impression. Dr. Bailey spent a lot of time with me answering every question and concern. I would not hesitate to recommend him to anyone.

Not only did Dr. Bailey diagnose my issue. He explained and showed me bones and tendons that I injured and explained how we were going to treat them.

Exceptional Surgeon
I recently had the pleasure of being treated by Dr. Errol Bailey, an exceptional ankle and foot surgeon, who expertly corrected a previous surgical mishap on my foot. From the moment I consulted with him, it was clear that I was in capable hands. Dr. Bailey took the time to thoroughly assess my situation and develop a comprehensive treatment plan tailored to my needs. He was incredibly informative, guiding me through each step of the process and ensuring I understood what to expect during the surgery and recovery. His dedication to patient care is evident, as he made me feel supported and confident throughout my journey.The surgery itself went smoothly, and I was impressed with the efficiency and professionalism of his team. Follow-up appointments were punctual, and Dr. Bailey remained attentive to my recovery, addressing any concerns I had along the way. Today, I am 110 days post-op, and I am thrilled!!!

Just one thing
Great doctor all around. Knowledgeable, nice, and patient. Staff equally so. Would have been 5 stars if I would have received paperwork to take home with the names of the four suggested treatments or surgeries and their descriptions. Something they can hopefully start doing for their patients. I certainly wouldn't let that stop a person from seeking him out. I believe him to be the best.

Outstanding surgeon
My PT shared Dr. Bailey’s name from another patient.My mobility was seriously compromised from my ankle being bone on bone and I had exhausted all non surgical treatments.Dr. Bailey reviewed my history and offered to perform a total ankle replacement. The procedure had been done on younger patients, but was still not commonly done for end stage arthritis. I appreciated Dr. Bailey’s personable and professional communication. He spent a lot of time explaining the surgery in detail, and patiently answered all my questions and concerns. I felt confident under his care and attention. I followed his post-op instructions, including several months of PT. As expected, it took the better part of a year to completely heal but I could not be more pleased with the outcome. . I’ve had 6 joint replacements, and Dr. Bailey receives my highest, unqualified recommendation.

Just walked out in the middle of an appointment
I had this first appointment of the morning. He walked in, barely listened to me, and walked out while I was still talking and asking questions about my joint pain. The nurse that 'fitted' me for the air cast said I can just get it on Amazon for much cheaper vs what they charge. Then 2 years later, after I paid everything with them and insurance, they billed me for more.

Best of the Best
Dr.Bailey has been amazing throughout the entire process. Always professional, yet personable, from the first clinic encounter throughout post op. As a nurse of 17 years I have felt that I was in the best hands for my entire surgical experience. I Highly recommend Dr. Bailey!

Foot and ankle specialist
My regular orthopedist referred me to Dr. Bailey when it appeared I needed a complex foot and ankle reconstruction. Dr. Bailey was very pleasant and took all the time necessary to explain all the alternatives and what was medically indicated. He’s Harvard educated and trained. I am a physician myself and I would not hesitate to recommend Dr. Bailey for all orthopedic foot and ankle conditions. His staff were all friendly and efficient.

Miracle worker
Dr. Bailey is an outstanding surgeon. Kept me hiking after serious foot surgery 10 years ago. Surgery on my other foot was also successful. He is attentive to patients' concerns, carefully explains everything and answers questions. His staff is also kind, professional and effective. Highly recommended.

I have had three successful surgeries from Dr. Erroll J. Bailey MD. I had two toe joint implants one on each foot. Mt toes healed up quickly and I had full motion on both toes. I also had a cyst removed from the top of my foot. It healed up beautifully! I feel very blessed that a friend recommended him to me. I live a very active lifestyle and go to the gym all the time! He is very professional and his staff is top notch! I am pain free from his skills! He has made a change in my life and I very grateful and blessed!
