John Bailey's Online Review Report Card

Great staff that cares. Dr. Bailey. Straight to the point..nice appointment.

Back in 2017 I went to Dr. Bailey for my knee, due to dislocating my knee cap multiple times. (patella) I agreed to surgery because it was only a matter of time before it would dislocate again. (It was a simple inner scope surgery nothing major) I was told with surgery I wouldn’t have anymore issues with that knee dislocating. After the surgery I was told I my recovery time would only be a month and I needed NO physical therapy. For at least a year I experienced pain in that knee, I couldn’t run, jump, or kick, without pain spreading throughout my knee that I never experienced before. Four years later, after being finally comfortable and confident with this knee, I have just recently re-dislocated it once again. Please do not make my mistake, and see someone else!!

On January 8th 2019 I fell and shattered my left knee-my knee was totally shattered and the local paramedics instantly got to me... started an IV with medication and an EKG taking me directly to NRMC in Kirksville radioing ahead for an Orthopedic Surgeon to meet me in the ER. Dr. Bailey was there and after talking to the ambulance crew and doing a CAT SCAN took me into emergency surgery having to take out the shattered bones, putting in a metal knee replacement with cement making a upper portion of my lower leg bone and attaching the tendons I tore... this almost a 6 hour surgery saving my leg. I spent 12 days in the hospital and was released back home with limited movement and exercises on a walker. I can't say enough about how his caring and on top of things he's been for over a year. Yes I'm still seeing him as it's still healing and looking at an outpatient surgery to help with more mobility... which will be a piece of cake compared to the original nightmare surgery. His staff are wonderful and he is very on top of my situation by doing various outpatient dopplers, CAT SCANS and Xrays because he wants me totally healed tissue wise before he will do an outpatient mobility procedure. All I can say is that Dr. Bailey saved my leg when it could have been amputated at the time. So after over a year I continue do do exactly as he says as the tissue is still healing (the damage was that severe) and I am very grateful to him for saving my leg. I don't get physical therapy from my insurance so it's me and him on this journey to being able to walk again. I highly recommend Dr. Bailey even if it's for a consultation as he is honest with you and will do the necessary testing to find everything out. I personally have thanked him for everything as I knew when I was going into emergency surgery I'd probably not have my leg but no he saved it! After over a year seeing him he still recalls me being brought into the ER and the surgery he had to perform. Dr. Bailey personally told me he took an oath to save lives and he was going to save my leg. Yes it's been a long journey yet he's always there for me whether it's a phone call to talk or an appointment because he's very attentive, concerned and always listens to me along with checking out my progress. So a big shout out to Dr. Bailey and his team for saving my leg and reconstructing my knee as it could have been so much worse. Coann Childers

this is the second hip replacement i have had. the first was 11 years ago. and Dr. Bailey did a wonderful job, my recovery time was faster and the pain was much less. his staff were wonderfully polite and did there jobs good. i would like to thank Dr. Bailey and his staff.

I fell and broke my wrist and fractured my hand in May. I was in a lot of pain. Had surgery with a plate, pins, and bone grafts. Am in the middle of healing, but so far they are helping me manage the pain. The nurses and office personnel are sweethearts! And I love Dr Bailey. His dry humor makes me laugh and he does what is best for the patient. So far, he has been an excellent doctor and this is my first experience with him.

Staff is exceptionally helpful and positive. Dr. Bailey has repeatedly been there for me when in need. Considering those times were times of extreme pain and discomfort I cannot say enough positive about the man.

I have seen Dr. Bailey for many years and he is always very thorough in his assessment of what is happening. He has performed more than one surgery on me (as I am unfortunately falling apart LOL) and the results are always good. I have had carpal tunnel surgery, shoulder surgery, total knee replacement done and trust him and his staff. The office staff is very personable and treats me with the utmost respect.

He is an ok doctor

Dr Bailey performed a total hip arthroplasty on my husband and he is doing amazing. Very pleased with his care and progress.

My husband was in a motorcycle accident which required surgery on his ankle. Three years later he's in constant pain and walks with his foot pointed outward. He was laid up for 9 months. Now he needs fusion surgery or an amputation. I would NOT recommend him! He even left a staple I my husband's ankle! There was no physical therapy or anything. Do not see Dr. Bailey.
