Christopher F. Bailey's Online Review Report Card

Unprofessional, aggressive, rude, expects you to acquiesce. He does not appreciate being asked about other treatments that do not involve drugs. Gets very defensive and angry. Upon looking up his medical license on the Washington State Department of Health website, there in full detail shows that Dr Christopher F Bailey, MD received disciplinary action from State of Washington Medical Commission for over-prescribing lithium that caused toxicity in his patient. I do not have any confidence in this doctor, nor do I trust him.

A family member was seeing Christopher at a delicate time in their life. During a session, where he joined already in a funk, Christopher proceeded to get frustrated eventually shouting at his patient and then ending the call before time. This is not the kind of behavior I expect from someone who's entire profession is to support and help people when they at their most vulnerable.

He was crap during my appointment. When I advocated for myself, he blamed the issue on my mental illness rather than accepting any responsibility. I have never experienced anything like this in ten years plus I’ve been working with psychiatrists or therapists.

I am a three-time cancer survivor. My first diagnosis was stage 3 nodular lymphoma in 1987, and a repeat in 2001. This year I was diagnosed with breast cancer. Dr. Bailey was recommended as my surgeon and did a lumpectomy. He also implanted a SAVI device for radiation. After the radiation, Dr. Bailey removed the SAVI. I was fortunate to be a candidate for this surgery and blessed that Dr. Bailey was my surgeon. The entire experience of the SAVI radiation was, in my opinion, so much better than the 35 days of radiation in 1987. From the initial consultation Dr. Bailey educated me, put my mind at ease, and took care of business. I never felt rushed and he answered my many questions with patience. I am post op and doing fine. I have met and dealt with many doctors and give Dr. Bailey my highest respect. I like him, I really like him. I can recommend Dr. Bailey and will do so whenever appropriate. THANK YOU, DR. BAILEY.

Wish I could give 10 stars - Dr. Bailey is such an exceptional surgeon!!! He spends time explaining the procedure and making you feel confident about having a good outcome. After surgery, he comes to the hospital (even on a Saturday) to confirm you're doing OK. He did my appendectomy (evidently, one of three) the night that Hurricane Harvey came onshore in south Texas. Because of the storm, I was a bit worried about having surgery that night. But, everything went smoothly and I was back at work within a week. Dr. Bailey is absolutely the best!

Absolutely a fantastic surgeon. From the initial consultation, through the procedure completion, Dr. Bailey not only educated myself on the surgical plan, but constantly reassured myself that pain would be minimal. Everything went smoothly and I unequivocally recommend him as a general surgeon to friends and colleagues. Phenomenal experience.

Dr. Bailey is very kind, knowledgeable, thorough, and thoughtful.

I have been seeing Dr. Bailey for about a year. I am a nurse and I found Dr. Bailey extremly professional and knowledgable. I was immediatly at ease with him and he seemed to be able to identify the issues at the moment and make recommendations. He also reassurred me that seeing a psychiatrist was not anything to be ashamed of or be embarrassed about. I would highly recommend him.

Inappropriate and harmful recommendation

I recently moved to Texas and am trying in vain to find a new doctor that has half the knowledge, is willing to listen, and the personablility of Dr. Bailey but I'm afraid I'm never going to find a doctor as good as Dr. Bailey again. I'd recommend him to anyone. He actually cares!
