Dr. Bailes, in light of the CT scan at Glennbrook hospital, concluded that another CT and OV were warranted to determine if there were any further bleeding because of the subdural hematoma, i.e., that the condition had not worsened. In sum he manifested concern and professionalism

Dr Bailes was kind considerate and caring during my visit. He explained the need for my procedure and did not talk down to me. Doctor's appointments are always stressful and he and his staff did their best to lessen my anxiety.
