Efficient, friendly, professional ! I was greeted promptly and placed in an exam room with little to no wait time. The staff members were friendly, helpful and patient from the X-ray technician to the surgical assistant , John, who spoke with me briefly before Dr. Bailey entered the r exam room. Dr. Bailey’s expertise is unmatched . He thoroughly explained the issue I was having and concluded surgery was the only option. He also explained the technique in layman’s terms so I could fully understand. I highly recommend Dr. Bailey and completely trust him and his staff with my care .

I was seen by Dr. Erroll Bailey on March 17th, 2025, at the Resurgeons Decatur location. The appointment went quickly, the staff was professional, the examination was thorough, and I am confident I received an accurate diagnosis and treatment plan. Dr. Bailey is very knowledgeable, approachable and attentive. The Decatur location is convenient, easily accessible, and will be my favored, in the future. Thank you, Resurgens Orthopaedics - Decatur.

I have seen Dr. Bailey for many years. He is kind, compassionate, and always extremely professional. I hold great trust in his expertise. It's not only patients that highly recommend him. Other physicians I have seen over the years say they have the highest regard for him and have told me if they were having a procedure like mine performed they would have Dr. Bailey perform theirs. For many years he has been hands down, my favorite doctor.
