James Phillips Bailey, M.D.

"It is important to treat the patient as I would want to be treated."

Dr. Bailey combines his medical expertise with a personal approach toward his patients. To increase the trust between patient and physician, he carefully considers all medical options from a personal standpoint before making a decision.

He went on to complete fellowships in adult reconstructive surgery at the University of Pittsburgh and the Medical College of Pennsylvania.
